the twenty-fourth

[nonesodangerous]

...already? I still don't look feel any older. And I still don't think it counts.

At least Michael seems to have kept his mouth shut this year. Small mercies.

What am I doing? I don't have time for this. Security checks are meant to start at 0600.

Hey.

Happy birthday.

<3

[nonesodangerous]

Mikaela Banes, where have you been? I missed was starting to wonder if something had happened to you.

...ah, thank you.

[know_sacrifice]

Y'know, I think this might be the first time I've disappeared and it hasn't been because of something shitty happening. No, I've just been busy, Tieria, 'm sorry. Working and spending time with Daddy and Sam...

You're welcome. I'm really, really sorry, I don't have a present or anything for you, but if you can convince yourself it's all right to take a day off and come visit me sometime soon I'll take you out for cake, okay?

[nonesodangerous]

You don't really don't have to apologize, I didn't mean it like that. I am glad that it was just because you were busy that you were away, rather than something more sinister.

I don't expect anything from anyone, you know. Just hearing from you was a good surprise. I'll see what I can do, though.

You're not as smart as you think you are.

...but thank you, all the same.

[bare_my_fangs]

Sorry, babe. I've been kinda busy lately. Your birthday present is in your room though.

[nonesodangerous]

...what is it?

[bare_my_fangs]

Why don't you go take a look?

[nonesodangerous]

Because knowing you, it could be anything from a prostitute to a velociraptor, and I'd like to at least be prepared.

Happy birthday.

[nonesodangerous]

Thank you. It's yours next week, isn't it?

[jagan_glare]

That it is. Surprised you remembered.

[nonesodangerous]

It's hard to forget somebody as annoying as you.

Happy birthday, Mr. Erde! Do you have any special plans today?

[nonesodangerous]

Thank you, Mileina. I. I don't. There's no point in deviating from the schedule unnecessarily.

[areyoulovers]

I could ask my mama to make you a cake, if you'd like!

[nonesodangerous]

That will not be required - after all, she has plenty of work to do herself. I would not want to distract her from it.
