nineteenth [accidental video]

[perpetualfrown]

[Ren could be seen with his back to the communicator, bundled in a scarf and a long sleeved shirt that was just a liiiiiittle too big for him (it nearly reaches his knees, okay) with holes near the bottom and patches on the sleeves, but at least it was sleeves. He was tending to a very lovely looking lotus flower that was floating neatly in it's

Are you giving the flower to someone?

[He jumped at the sudden voice and spun around, looks to communicator. Wha.. how long was that on?!

Clears his throat and walks over, picking it up.]

..No, it was the plant I found in my room though. I didn't realize it was a lotus plant until the last few days when the flower started to come up.

[a soft snicker as Zuko realizes you didn't know it was on, and then a wave when the comm is picked up]

Yeah. I didn't realize mine was a pepper plant until just the other day either.

So whose birthday is it?

[Light grunt from that snicker he hears wafting over the network.]

A pepper plant? That one should be useful at least.

.. Mine was on the first of the month.

How did you manage a lotus plant in this type of place...? Was it a special birthday wish?

[video]

[perpetualfrown]

[Well, at least he isn't surprised anymore.]

No, it was the plant everyone received over the holidays. They all seem to be different plants though, and mine happened to be a lotus. [Does he sound just a little awkward talking about it, why yes he does.]

[icyconformist]

That's odd. I'm surprised you managed to get it to grow.

Given enough water to float in and keeping it away from frost is all it needs. They're hardier than they look, or at least this variety is.

[tenkai_soul]

... Very nice.

[perpetualfrown]

.. It is. I'm curious if these were gifts from the scientists, or from someone else.

[tenkai_soul]

It's hard to tell any more.

[perpetualfrown]

It would be surprisingly kind of the scientists, though I'm sure the majority of people would prefer being sent home.

[twotails9lives]

Did you get the blanket?

[perpetualfrown]

[Slightly surprised look. There was a blanket he didn't know the gift giver of.]

Yes, I did. You were my secret santa, I presume?

[twotails9lives]

Uh-huh!

That's good!

[perpetualfrown]

.. Thank you, it's quite warm.

[yakyubaka]

Ah? It's your birthday today?

[perpetualfrown]

Not today, but back on the first of the month.

[yakyubaka]

Oh! Haha, then happy late birthday!

[perpetualfrown]

.. Thank you.
