[RL - birthday party.]

[unknownrival]

[Anyone who's one of Issei's friends (that does not include you, Greed) received a handwritten invitation to Issei's temple on March 3rd. They were invited over to dinner and then to schmoozing afterwards.

Dinner was remarkably delicious for something prepared by monks, and the party is now in the 'random conversation in the largest room available' segment. There's also a cake on one of the tables.

Issei will be coming to chat up every guest, or they can talk amongst themselves.]

[unknownrival]

Thank you very much. You'll spoil me.

[starofchaos]

Today is the day where humans prefer to be spoiled, is it not?

[unknownrival]

So it is. Very well, I won't argue with that today.

[starofchaos]

I should certainly hope so. It is my honor to have this opportunity to spoil you.

[unknownrival]

[His honor, really? Issei's not pursuing that avenue of flattery.]

How have you been?

[starofchaos]

Quite well indeed. [As if he would say otherwise even if it were so.]

Things are surprisingly peaceful at home.

[unknownrival]

I'm happy to hear that. It's good to have a chance to relax.

[starofchaos]

[He's been making ~plans~.]

More than. Are you enjoying your books?

[unknownrival]

They're amazing! You have such a magnificent collection, I don't know how you managed to leave your libraries alone long enough to visit.

[starofchaos]

Hmhmhm~ Don't forget, that I have all the time in the world.

[Unlike humans, who live such short lives, Louis has lived through the lives and deaths of several worlds. It is not that he has run out of interest for the books; far from it. He's simply learned patience on a level that humans may never reach.]

[unknownrival]

Well, I still think that it's fantastic.

[starofchaos]

I'm glad that you think so. It does please me to see someone in this age who still relishes in the written word.

[unknownrival]

You have certainly found one. I've been treating your books with great care, don't worry.

[starofchaos]

I trust you with them. After all, it would take an ungrateful fool to damage something given from me. And you are no such thing.

[unknownrival]

I am honored by this trust.

[starofchaos]

There are not many that I would trust with my books. Just let me know when you wish to visit them again and I will happily oblige.

[unknownrival]

You spoil me, again.

[starofchaos]

For you? It is little inconvenience.

[unknownrival]

That again. What have you been eating this time?

[starofchaos]

Come now, Ryudo-san. You are not so unpleasant a person that it would take a curse to make me like you.

[unknownrival]

Are you sure?

[starofchaos]

Positive. Believe me, I am untainted by curses this time.

[unknownrival]

Well then. I'm happy to hear that, of course.

[starofchaos]

I should certainly hope so. Well, then. Did you wish to open that now or to leave it for later?

[unknownrival]

If I open it in your presence, I can ooh and aah appropriately.
