Thirty Seventh Star

[heavenfang]

Hmm... it was my birthday yesterday. I must have forgotten.

Twenty years old... I hardly look older than 16. I guess it will take some time before I begin physically aging again.

It's been odd, getting back into the thick of things. It seems as if I can easily find places I'm needed again, at least.

Still need that new hand, tough.

Hey, Kazuki, what's for dinner tonight?

Happy birthday.

I guess I shouldn't have said anything.

[recreant]

You don't want to be wished happy birthday? Sorry.

[voice.]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It's not that. I just... don't really celebrate anymore.

[voice.]

[recreant]

Why not? You should take little virtues when you can get them.

[voice.]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I have my reasons.

[voice.]

[recreant]

I'm sure you do.

[voice.]

Besides... I have reasons to be happy without caring about some number that's supposed to represent how old I am.

[voice.]

[recreant]

I certainly hope so. Otherwise, you'd be very lonely.

Except now, thanks to my big mouth, they're all trying to throw me a part.

[voice.]

[recreant]

Well. You should've known better. [ There's a smile in his voice. ]

Hindsight is always perfect.

[voice.]

[recreant]

Freaking 20/20.

[voice.]

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Besides, I don't think it's possible to get the gift I really want.

[voice.]

[recreant]

True of us all.

I mean... would it KILL them to send me some fish to catch?

[voice.]

[recreant]

...

[ Laughs slightly. ] Probably not. But that doesn't mean they want to.

This is the longest I've gone without fishing. Seriously.
