23. [ video ]

[ It's our good friend Haro-cam! Although this time it's on purpose, as Mileina has something to show the community. She's doing something at a table in the mess hall; Linda (probably looking more like her big sister than her mother) has her back to the camera, cleaning up a counter that's had an enthusiastic pre-teen's cooking exploits explode all over it ]

I know he's not the sort of person to announce it himself, so I wanted to make sure that everyone knew it was Mr. Erde's birthday! Because I'm sure that even though it's a very good day already, he would very much appreciate everyone's well-wishes! Oh, but don't worry if he doesn't overtly appreciate everyone's well-wishes, because I know he appreciates them in his heart.

In any case, I wanted to show everyone the present I made him, because it was my first time attempting anything at all like it!

[ and with that, she holds up a cookie. It's roughly like this, with purple hair and a somewhat angry expression drawn on in icing. Yes, she made Tieria cookies. ]

Do you think he'll like them? I hope he will!

I've had plenty of sleep. I simply didn't realize it had been an entire year since my last birthday.

[areyoulovers]

Well, I suppose that time does fly when--

[areyoulovers]

--Oh no! You weren't supposed to see your present yet! I wasn't expecting you to be keeping a close eye on the community!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Oh. Sorry.

I could pretend to forget and be surprised later, if that would help.

[areyoulovers]

No, that's all right! I was going to bring them down to your office in a few minutes in any case, but thank you for the thought! I suppose I just ended up surprising you over video as opposed to in person.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was very surprised. Admittedly, a large amount of the surprise was because I'd forgotten it was my birthday entirely, but this was certainly a pleasant way of being reminded.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, I'm glad! I was a little stuck on what to get you at first, but then I got this idea from one of my dramas and thought it was perfect! Do you not like to celebrate birthdays, though, Mr. Erde? I would expect you to forget dates when you're busy, but...

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It's just not something I'm particularly used to.

[areyoulovers]

Well, it's a good thing you have people to celebrate it now!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose it is.
