[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.]

I am glad to hear that.

[unknownrival]

You're wonderful.

[croibhristeoir]

You are far too kind.

[unknownrival]

I'm honest.

[croibhristeoir]

A quality I am unspeakably grateful for.

[unknownrival]

You deserve nothing less.

[croibhristeoir]

...thank you.

[unknownrival]

Of course.

[croibhristeoir]

Issei...are you happy?

[unknownrival]

Of course. It's good to see all my friends together.

[croibhristeoir]

Good.

[A faint smile.]

I'm glad to hear that.

[unknownrival]

And I have a wonderful boyfriend who I care for very deeply.

[croibhristeoir]

...you really are far too kind to me.

[unknownrival]

With someone like that who cares for me as much, how could I not be happy?

[croibhristeoir]

I suppose I do not really know.

[unknownrival]

The only thing troubling me is that I cannot make my beloved as happy as he makes me.

[croibhristeoir]

...I'm sorry, Issei. I do not know how to change that.

[unknownrival]

I wish I did.

[croibhristeoir]

...come here?

[You get a birthday hug.]

[unknownrival]

[Birthday hugs are wonderful.]

[croibhristeoir]

I didn't mean to upset you. I do care for you a great deal.

[unknownrival]

I'm so happy that you do. I'm blessed.

[croibhristeoir]

I'm honored you think me as important as all that.

[unknownrival]

You're important to me. That's enough.

[croibhristeoir]

And you are important to me as well.
