Geez... it's already the 30th, huh? It's hard to believe...

I can't believe it's my birthday already. I wonder if Tony remembered? ...Or if he's even still around... [And as she says this her voice trails off sadly...and the feed clicks off.]

It is? Hmm, I didn't realize...

[AWKWARD PAUSE, no friends + no birthday = ???]

...Happy birthday?

[nailsareawesome]

[She toys with the edges of her sleeves as she sits on the edge of her bed.] ...Thanks, Ossie. Today's not really that special though.

I'm just getting old.

When's your birthday, Oswald? ...Do you have one?

[seekthebird]

...Hm. [He nods slightly. Oswald can't help but agree with that. He never really got the whole celebrating-your-birth thing, probably because most people hated his guts...]

Surely I do, but 'tis not something I could put a date on. [Abandoned as a baby and all that. He shrugs.]

1/2

[nailsareawesome]

I stopped caring after I turned 16 really... After that it's just... boring.

[She ran her hand through her hair with a sigh.] Then I'll have to treat every day with you as something special---

2/2

[nailsareawesome]

...since I don't know how long either of us will be here. [Her voice was soft, and she began to pick at her nails a bit to keep her eyes focused on anything but Oswald.]

[seekthebird]

[He stops when she says that, looking over at her from his side of the room.] Renee...

[He might have been a little embarrassed at that first part, but knowing that their time here was only temporary... he frowns sadly, looking off to the side.]

...'Twas fate that brought us here, and fate shall decide the day we part. We are both prisoners and guests in this world. Our coming and leaving 'twas never our decision.

But... if a crossroad of worlds such as Wonderland could exist, to travel between then need not be impossible.

[Around this point he starts working on polishing his Belderiver because this is definitely not embarrassing at all and she can totes visit his castle any time.]

[nailsareawesome]

...You know...when I first met you I really didn't expect to see you around that much. I didn't even think we were going to end up as friends...let alone roommates. [She glanced back at him then, offering him a smile.]

For a long time I thought you were going to kill me for throwing snow at you~ I know you thought it was fun too... [Maybe later.

...When the wounds healed.]

[seekthebird]

[Okay that DEFINITELY gets a bit of blush out of him. He polishes that sword fiercely.] 'Twas not my intention. It just happened. [EVERYTHING IS THE MANSION'S FAULT. EVERYTHINGGG.]

I quite nearly did. Had I not underestimated you, things might have ended differently between us. It was... different. [Not exactly his idea of fun, but... okay, maybe just a little. But he is still srs osknight.]

[nailsareawesome]

Well, when winter comes around again...we'll have to play around some more. [She stood and moved toward the closet, looking over the cute sporty clothes that appeared for her then...] ...You know...we should go for a walk.

Since it's so nice out now. [And you won't get frozen to your armor.]

[seekthebird]

...'Tis no different than the day before. The weather is always pleasant here. [walking what why, WHAT ARE YOU PLOTTING RENEE?]

[nailsareawesome]

[She decides to grab a nice, light jacket and throw it over her shoulders. It may be spring, but it was still a little cool in the evenings.] We were kept inside all winter! What difference does it make if the weather's the same as yesterday?

Do you not want to come?

[seekthebird]

[...He doesn't really have a reason to say no. The knight sighs, tossing aside the cloth.] I suppose. [But he's bringing his sword. Not even Renee could separate him from his oh wait that already happened UM. WELL he's not going anywhere without his sword. Shut up.

He gets up, standing over by the door to wait for her. Oswald doesn't need any silly coats. And he just wears the same thing every day.] As long as you don't plan to spend an hour picking an outfit.

[nailsareawesome]

Hey~ At least you'd look good if you walked around with me at my best~

[But no. Today is her day so she decides to just throw on the jacket and leave it at that. Make-up yes, but she was already wearing it. So that took no time!

...However when they had gone to go get food earlier...yeaaaah. It had taken a bit. She was honestly a little surprised that Oswald hadn't killed her yet in impatience. Renee walks over the the knight and flashes a smile before heading out the door.]
