Ne, Toushirou-san, may I speak with you a moment if you see this?

I think yesterday was Thumb Appreciation Day! . . . I know I appreciated my thumbs. ^^;; I'm sorry to everyone who didn't have them.

And . . .

Congratulations on your birthday coming up!

The cake looks wonderful!

[fistsofjustice]

Eee, thank you!

Really? It's a little lopsided and messy . . . My cakes never come out quite right. . .

It tastes good, though! Do you want some?

[small_comfort]

That's all right! Mine aren't any better. I never really learned how to ice them properly.

Yes, please! Thank you very much. Shiki-san doesn't mind?

[fistsofjustice]

Icing is *hard.* It's goopy and never gets even and sticks to *everything,* including me. (I haven't let him see the kitchen yet.)

I don't think so! And even so, it's a really big cake. There should be plenty. ^^

[small_comfort]

Then I'd be honored.

[fistsofjustice]

I'll cut you a piece, then!

[small_comfort]

Thank you~!

Do you think I should get something for Shiki-san?

[fistsofjustice]

If you want to! I don't think he's expecting anything, though. o.o

. . . He seemed to forget he had it. ^^;

[small_comfort]

Oh well. A lot of people do that.
I'll bring... some drinks from the store!

[fistsofjustice]

Really? o.o

And that sounds good! ^^

[small_comfort]

Of course!
...Well, in Soul Society they do. I mean, it gets so hard to keep track of the years after a while, and most people don't really know them for sure in the first place, so...
Maybe it is kind of weird...

[fistsofjustice]

Do you know how old you are, Hanatarou-san? o.o

[small_comfort]

No, not precisely.
My birthday is April first, but I don't know what year I was born.

[fistsofjustice]

Hm . . . I wonder if there's a way to find out?

[small_comfort]

Like what?

[fistsofjustice]

I don't know. o.o Doesn't Soul Society have any records? Or maybe someone who's known you for a long time?
