I didn't lie yesterday. I make it a point not to lie in general. It's an awful thing. The only thing that makes it worse is having a nose for birds to sit on or to hang the wash out to dry.

And now it is October! Can you believe it? It's quite an eventful month. There's Halloween of

Of all the things you could fail to mention until now, Susan.

Time flies, Caspian. Can you pass the milk?

[Cracking two eggs.]

[treadingdawn]

[Passing the milk to her.]

How old will you be now?

[Two possible numbers and he doesn't want to presume.]

[lionesssejant]

[Careful pouring.]

Here, I'll be sixteen. That's an important birthday.

[Stir, stir, stir.]

[treadingdawn]

[Peering over but not interfering in her work. Kitchen respect.]

Is it? What do people in your world do to celebrate it?

In person, who needs filters.

[lionesssejant]

[Needs more flour! Pouring, pouring.]

It's celebrated like other birthdays only... a little more. I won't be just a girl much longer.

What do you mean?

[Orz, this woman-talk.]

[Now it is starting to look like dough! More sugar for flavor.]

I'm growing up. Sixteen marks a girls ending of childhood and the start of becoming a woman. It's very important.

Now, where did the cookie cutters go?

[treadingdawn]

Oh.

[Never had sisters so this seems awkward to him! Nevertheless, Caspian must ask... while he hands the cookie cutters over.]

What would you like for your birthday?

In person, who needs filters.

[lionesssejant]

Thank you.

[Sets them beside the cutting board as she lays out the dough.]

Hm. I'd love to have a record player, or maybe a few new outfits. Mmm.

[She stops and smiles at him.]

I'm sure you know what I'd like, Caspian.

[treadingdawn]

[Wait what? He looks at Susan, a bit confused, a bit unsure. He's a boy after all.]

And it should be a surprise, shouldn't it?

[Hah good save right?]

In person, who needs filters.

[lionesssejant]

[And the dough is all flat. Perfect.]

I'd like to be surprised.

[Susan hands the Telmarine a cookie cutter.]

Here, you can help now.

[treadingdawn]

[Wanting to sample some but not willing to ask. Yet.]

I will keep that in mind. It will be a special day for you.

[Cookie cutter pressing!]

In person, who needs filters.

[lionesssejant]

[Pressing, pressing those cutters!]

Thank you. I really would like that.

[Not quite as pro as Su, he's much better with a pan and an open fire.]

When I turned sixteen I received a falcon.

[lionesssejant]

[Stamps a few shapes in the dough and tries not to be too aware that he may be taking pointers.]

As a pet? What was its name?
