[010 ☿] Birthday Cruise

[waterfell]

It's been a pleasant day, Mizuno Ami's birthday, and the summer heat has gentled to a cool autumn evening. As night falls, a golden sun sinks into the sea and the water shimmers in its fading light as a luxurious cruise ship makes its unhurried way down the Sumida River

[It had taken time to find her, but here she is. Sora doesn't remember birthdays all that well--his own hasn't been celebrated since he was four or five--so he's not entirely dressed for the occasion. He instead wears his normal outfit, and looks awkward among all the robots.]

H-Hey, Ami! What's going on?

[He'll be scooting right in t stand next to where she sits, seeming nervous. Crowds aren't something he enjoys, really, even if most of them aren't real.]

[waterfell]

Sora! [She's surprised - pleased, but surprised - to see anyone else here.]

This is a celebration. Why not join it? [A nod towards the robot sitting beside her, and it gets up to offer its place to Sora.]

A... Celebration?

[Though he will sit, rather awkwardly, where she indicates. He's not used to this--to crowds. It's disconcerting to him, but he'll quietly deal.]

[waterfell]

It's a birthday party. [Which may explain why she looks like a cat who's been handed a double portion of cream.]

...A... Birthday party...

[...Give him a few minutes while it registers. He hasn't celebrated his own in a few years.]

...Oh! Happy birthday, Ami!

[waterfell]

Thank you. When is yours? [It's a question she probably wouldn't bother with, with someone else. But Sora's different.]
