Since I didn't really die, and it's your birthday, I'll let you slide for today.

...Happy birthday to me.

[He says the last bit, then blows out the candle by lifting the bottom of that bag mask a little.]

Just in time too. Tonight is important and I put a lot of effort into getting to this point.

Want to cut the cake? I'll even share a piece with you.

[Greed eyes him wearily.]

It's not gonna shoot lightning at me? Or anything like that, right?

[inthenertz]

No, though I think I know a spell I have to learn in the future now.

[Pulls out the carving knife and...

... turns it around, offering Greed the handle.]

[Frey doesn't even like Black mage. Actually, he kind of hates him. But he's also a huge sucker and a veritable font of concern for people who don't deserve it. So after purposefully ignoring him for about 20 minutes, he's giving up and taking a seat at the table.]

I'm probably going to regret asking this.... but....

Is something wrong?

Wrong? Not yet.

So far it's a good start to the day.

Re: A

Do I seem subdued? Good.

Re: B

[inthenertz]

[He's actually greeting people!

Usually waving and actually calling them by name when he can.]

Re: B

[gezellighe]

[. . . it's still suspicious.]

Where are you going?

[inthenertz]

Holland...

I'm just walking, no real destination until work.

[Mart is walking from school, backpack in hand. BM in front of him is a rather unhappy sight.

Mart'll try to walk past the mage.]

Re: B.

[inthenertz]

[He passes by without stopping the violent shark boy.

Just waving to him as they pass.]

Mart...

[jaws5sonofjaws]

The fuck d'you want, scumbag.

[inthenertz]

Nothing.

[Not stopping for small talk. Just waving and walking on with no real destination.

No bad jokes, or terrible come backs. No threats or references to his mother.]

[He'll wave... but then pause. ... wasn't this the guy who...]

B

[inthenertz]

[Got shot in the face? Yeah.

If he remembers, he doesn't seem to be holding a grudge.

Just saying to himself while waving.]

Hol Horse...

Re: B

[emperor_cowboy]

[He paused at his name.]

Hmm... oh yeah you're... heh.

B

[inthenertz]

Yeah, I'm something else.

[Maybe he didn't hear Hol right or maybe he is trying to be witty.]
