[Issei is taking down the month of February's page in his calendar. On the next page, the date of March 3rd has 'BIRTHDAY' written in blue, circled, and with sparkles around it.

Issei stares at it for a few moments, then goes to get a black marker. Scowling, he blacks out the entire square.]

As though that were any cause for celebration. Khh, happy birthday to me.

So you seem to get it, it's harder putting it to practice.

[unknownrival]

A lot harder, really.

I'm very sorry for the things I've said and done. I'm not sure if I can fix them... but I'll try.

[chuanifrinn]

Hn...you shouldn't be sorry, but you should find it in yourself to say what's on your mind sometimes.

I challenge you to give it a try, especially if you really want him around for your birthday.

What's the worst that could happen, you could always say it was my dumb idea?

[unknownrival]

Thank you, but I think I'll keep to myself.

[chuanifrinn]

You can only inspire change through a will to act, even if you're afraid of getting hurt. Nothing changes unless someone does something.

[unknownrival]

I will do something. But I don't think that now is the time.

[chuanifrinn]

Picking your battles or letting wounds fester...it's kind of a double edge sword.

[unknownrival]

Sorry. I've decided there won't be a party and that's that.

[chuanifrinn]

That's your call, I was only curious as to why.

[unknownrival]

Fair enough.

How are you, then?

[chuanifrinn]

Oh, I'd say a little better than I was a few days ago, though odds are I'm still on Diarmuid's shit-list.

[unknownrival]

I think your reaction, while dramatic, was understandable.

[chuanifrinn]

Well dramatic is one word, out of my control is probably a better way to put it.

[unknownrival]

That's also fair to say. ...Still, are you okay after all that?

[chuanifrinn]

Me? Oh yeah, my rebound rate is incredible actually. I still want to kill that bastard-face master of Saber's, but that's just because I can't stand a coward. Otherwise I'm back to mellow.

[unknownrival]

You're not exactly the only one.

[chuanifrinn]

Yeah, I'm sure there's a long line.

[unknownrival]

You're near the front, though.

[chuanifrinn]

I guess it would depend on the speed of those who are competing with me.

[unknownrival]

Who can beat the Lancer class in speed?

[chuanifrinn]

In a sprint? No one. A rider could overtake me in the endurance department...but I don't think that'll be a problem.

[unknownrival]

That's about what I thought.

[chuanifrinn]

It's tough competition. I sometimes wonder if I could have been summoned as a Rider.

[unknownrival]

What would you ride?

[chuanifrinn]

Oh, I had a chariot, named for my charioteer, Láeg and two horses named Liath Macha and Dub Sainglend.

I had all kinds of famous weaponry too so I think the potential is endless.
