[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.]

[Blushing. Again.] I-I would never try to rank gifts from people I like, but I'm certain this is among the best this year.

[starofchaos]

There is no need for that. But thank you. I'm glad that you like it.

[unknownrival]

It's a shame I really don't know when to get you gifts in return.

[Christmas: not appropriate.]

[starofchaos]

Unfortunately, I have no birthdate of my own. Or rather, I have no knowledge of what it might be. It does not matter.

[unknownrival]

That leaves me short of days in which to force presents upon you.

[starofchaos]

[A low laugh.]

Then perhaps you should select a day with which to do so, if it matters so much to you?

[unknownrival]

I will get you when you least expect it.

[starofchaos]

...my, that sounds almost like a threat, Ryudo-san. Should I be alarmed?

[unknownrival]

If you think that my gifts are dangerous.

[starofchaos]

About as dangerous as a declawed kitten. Like yourself.

[unknownrival]

I think you can handle that much.

[starofchaos]

I should hope so! It would be quite calamitous if I could not.

[unknownrival]

I would be a tad disappointed in you.

[starofchaos]

Really, I would be far more disappointed in myself.

[unknownrival]

Thankfully that's not the case.

[starofchaos]

Far from it. Very far indeed.

[unknownrival]

How fortunate.
