I can't believe I nearly forgot that today is my birthday! I'd say it's amazing that I'd made it this far in Avoria but...I haven't even been here for over a year yet. In some ways, I'm kind of glad that there's no huge parties and no one's making a big deal over it. They've never been my favourite thing in the world.

Let's just hope it stays that

...You're Don, right?

[tech_geek_don]

...Mm? Oh, Leo! Yeah, it's me, bro. Even when we're human, you're good at spotting us.

[valiant_leader]

Well... There's this package that says "To: Don, From: Leo", and you just said it's your birthday, and you kinda look like how he'd look and everything.

So, uh... Happy Birthday, I... guess. It wasn't even close to your birthday before I came here...

[tech_geek_don]

You...got me something? Thanks, Leo! I'll come over and get it. Don't worry... Those kinds of things happen all the time here. You...get used to it.

[valiant_leader]

It has my name in From, and the wrapping paper looks all neat, so I know Raph didn't do it. So, yeah!

Hold on, let me try to... He's got a strong grip even in his sleep!

[tech_geek_don]

-ded of cute and laughter on the other end- Yeah, Raph's not the best at wrapping, is he?

Raph...let the poor kid go... Sure you don't want any help? I'm not that far away.

[valiant_leader]

I'd feel lucky if I got anything that was wrapped at all from him!

*trying to slip out carefully from his brother's grasp* Almost... aaaaalmost... *eh, just shoves him |D* Got it!

[tech_geek_don]

So would I. Maybe one day he'll learn to be patient and wrap things carefully.

Okay! Head out and take a right, go past one door and you'll find an open one. I'll be here and I've got ice cream if you want it.

[valiant_leader]

Ice cream... okay! *takes the package and has to steady himself a little since it's heavy, and tiptoes out of the room so that he won't wake Raph up more, then looks from side to side before he takes a right, goes past one door, and peeks around the open one* Don?

[tech_geek_don]

-looks out from the kitchen and grins, going over and getting down on one knee to get on eye level with his brother- Hey, Leo! I was just getting the ice cream in the kitchen.

[valiant_leader]

*brightens up at that, yet doesn't try to show it* It should be for yourself, Don! I mean, it's your birthday, not mine. *holds out the gift* Oh, here!

[tech_geek_don]

-smiles lightly and takes the gift gently, running a hand over the top of it as he looks down at it then back up to his brother- There's plenty for the both of us and I'm sure Mikey won't mind sharing. -holds out a hand- Besides, I think that sharing things like that on your birthday makes it that much better.

[valiant_leader]

*watches his movements curiously, then blinks back up at his brother* I guess... But shouldn't we wait until Raph and Mikey get here? I could try and wake Raph up!

[tech_geek_don]

Raph can be a real bear when he's woke up, though. -chuckles lightly- And Mikey's still at work. It'll be a while before they show up. I can open this while we're indulging ourselves.

[valiant_leader]

*imagines Raph as a Raphie-bear, giggling lightly at the image of the human roaring realistically and chasing after people for waking him up* Heh heh... Oh, wait, huh? *tries to think of what Don said again... what was it-oh!* Good, good! I want to see what I got for you!

[tech_geek_don]

-laughs a little, nodding as he stands up slowly, holding out his hand for his brother to take- Come on, then. I'm not sure what kind of ice cream you'll want since we've got so many different flavours. Mikey makes sure of that.
