Does anyone want to get together in a few days at the tavern to have some drinks?

[There's a moment where Bobby looks a little bit contemplative, then he smiles, a little sheepish.]I mean, I know officially being twenty-one isn't really that big of a deal here, but I was kind of looking forward to it back home. I'd like to do something sort of

I'll definitely join you! I hadn't realized we were so close in age...

[Not that she'd had a guess but still. Only months apart!]

[mister_10_below]

Wicked! I'll love having you there. And really? When's your birthday?

[brynkitten]

Oh!

[That's right. The party she never told really anyone the real purpose for.]

Back in September, actually. I'm a few months older than you it seems. Well, here.

[What year was he from again?]

[mister_10_below]

Oh!

[And now he feels bad, because he hadn't known. He would have - well, probably all he could do was make her another sculpture, actually.]

We'll have to have a few drinks to toast in belated celebration or something, then!

[And then he grimaces slightly.]

Yeah, time is - weird, here. I'm not sure if it aligns up with back home, but I'm kind of trying not to think about that too much.

[brynkitten]

[She offers him a broad smile and shakes her head.]

There was already a celebration, actually, and this is your birthday. And, well, I suppose the way time works doesn't matter so much here. Technically how old you are doesn't change based on what year you happy to be in or not be in, in this sort of situation.

...

I think.

[He pauses for a moment, then puts together that the bonfire party was around that time. Okay, he feels a little better, now, though he still hadn't told her happy birthday, or anything.]

How about just one toast?

[Bobby considers that for a moment, then nods.]

That makes sense. Well, as much sense as that kind of stuff can make. It's what I'm going to go with, anyway.

[brynkitten]

[She pauses to consider, then gives him stern look.]

Okay, but only between you and me and only because it's your birthday. Mine was months ago, okay?

[mister_10_below]

[He attempts to give a solemn nod in response to that look, but a little bit of a smile slips through.]

All right. Just you and me, one drink. It'll be a really quiet birthday toast. I'll whisper it.

[brynkitten]

[A smile breaks upon her face, despite herself, and she chuckles.]

Okay then. One whispered toast. I'll allow it.

[mister_10_below]

[Oh, good, Bryn is smiling, that means he doesn't have to try and be serious anymore. Bobby grins back.]

One whispered toast coming up.

[brynkitten]

[Of course she is. That stern look had been, at best, for show. Bobby was hard to even pretend to be mad at.]

I look forward to it.
