Hello. There are a few new books available at Petals & Pages to read. I hope to continue expanding its stock.

I am also curious about peoples' opinions on something. There have been more than a few posts regarding birthdays-- do you find them important? Is it important you know someone else's? I feel as though there are many takes on this.

Thank you.

My birthday happened during a certain monster spider invasion, now that you mention it. I'm still not over it! I was robbed! Of course I'd want everyone to know it was my special day, but I missed my chance foreeever.

[This was not quite the question now was it.]

[pinkmin]

[Not quite, but this answered it pretty well regardless.]

There is still time to let people know what day it is, I think. You could tell me it right now, and then I will know for this year, if we are still here.

Were belated festivities not an option?

[begguiling]

I was sick right after the barrier broke, like a lot of people. And then it was already Christmas! I can't compete with Christmas. You see the position I'm in? Anyway, it's October 27th! That's Lasohm here.

[pinkmin]

I understand. [Holiday birthdays, man.] But I will write it down, so I will not forget.

Even if it is late, would you like a birthday hug?

[begguiling]

Of course I do! I'd never turn down either a hug from you or a birthday anything. So that's a yes times two!

How about you? Birthday hug?

[He's not sure when her birthday is, or if that's the reason she made this post. Maybe, maybe not. But seeing as his birthday was almost four months ago, the odds of hers being closer to this date than his own is are pretty good, really.]

[pinkmin]

I would enjoy an exchange of birthday hugs, I think.

[begguiling]

Me too! Are you at Petals & Pages?

[pinkmin]

Yes, I am.

I'm on my way~!

[And so he is. It isn't very long before the door to the little book . . . shop? place? swings open and Magolor pushes inside, peering around for Vianca.]

Helloooo, where's the birthday girl? The birthday boy is looking for her!

[pinkmin]

[One late birthday boy seeking one early birthday girl to stabilize the birthday time continuum. There she was!]

Hello, birthday boy.

[begguiling]

[He zooms over to give her a nice big hug, shoving up against her and resting his hands on her back.]

Say, when is your birthday, anyway? Is it soon? Why else would you be asking about them, right?

[pinkmin]

[This hug is fast and furious, surprise making Vianca spin a little on her heel with him as she made a soft, surprised squeak. Let's hold on tight!]

The-- ooo-- The 14th, if Nalom lines up the same.

[begguiling]

[Hold on tight! He just keeps holding on, in fact, clinging there casually and blinking up at her.]

The 14th . . . so, Valentine's Day! At least on some planets. Mine's a few days before Halloween, if you've heard of that one.

[pinkmin]

[The spin was done, but the hug persisted.]

Oh, yes, we have both of those. It seems like Halloween time is an unfortunate time for birthdays.

[begguiling]

Any holiday is a little bit of a pain . . . but if Halloween means creepy things are going to happen here right on my birthday every year, I protest! It's completely distracting from what's important!

[HIS SPECIAL DAY . . . !]

[pinkmin]

[His special day!! She nodded thoughtfully.]

Maybe we can all agree on a different observance day for Magolor day.

[begguiling]

Like Sunday!

[EVERY SUNDAY?!]

[pinkmin]

[Every? Sunday??]

A Sunday could work.

[begguiling]

Mmhmm, but why limit myself to one?

[He waves his hand, still holding onto her with the other one.]
