#8 [Voice]

So I've been keeping track since Christmas, yeah? Keeping an eye on the calendar.

And... well. It's the second of Febuary. If anyone's interested, that's my birthday.

So I suppose that makes me eighteen, weird time loops aside. Yeah, that's right, I'm officially grown-up now. Aren't I the special one?

Happy birthday, Pat! I'm pretty terrible for gift-giving, but I should probably give you your thermos back, at least. [ Chuckling. ]

[rialta_fianaise]

[Smiles] Thanks!

How are you doing?

[ There's a quiet but definite joy in his voice. ]

Better, thank you - much better. And that's in no little part thanks to you!

[rialta_fianaise]

That's brilliant! [Grin] I'm so glad to hear it.

...Listen, Vanyel. Xiao Long Nu's putting me together a birthday meal. D'you want to come?

[twicebonded]

I'd love to! It's been too long since I've gone to any sort of celebration, really, birthday dinner or no. When should I be there?

[rialta_fianaise]

Um... Xiao Long Nu and I are meeting at the store in a couple of hours, if you want to come?

HTML FAIL AGAIN; RETRY

Sure - I'll be there. [ A moment later, as if from a little farther away, a whistled tune that stops abruptly, as though he remembers something. ]

I hope you realize that you'll be getting a gift whether you want one or not, by the way!

[Laughs] You really don't have to. But thanks.
