[Miakis has spent her entire day getting things ready for Ken to have a nice birthday. She's prepared a cake, flowers, and even plans for dinner!

...Uh, hey~ Is it already time for you to spend the night here?

[bittermayfly]

[He acts like he doesn't know what day it is, but Nagi knows full well that Miakis was going to do something nice for Ken.]

Just thought I'd make dinner for once, since it's Ken's birthday today~... Have you eaten yet? I can make you a plate, too, if you want!

[bittermayfly]

[Aww, no trusting this smile? That's...probably for the best.]

I had lunch with Schuldig, but that's it. Do you need help carrying the bags?
