Day 160 - [Video]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas appears on the screen, looking unsure of himself for a moment before taking a breath.]

Um... I wanted to apologize to a couple people for last week. I said some stupid things and- it was probably really frustrating.

I've been thinking about having some things of my own, and... I think the last day of summer would be good for a birthday. It still seems weird to just pick, but- I guess I've gotta turn 16 sometime.

[He pauses, looking like he has something else he wants to say, but his cheeks pink a bit and he just turns off the feed.]

Hell yeah you can! Takes a bit of work to do it in a home kitchen, but I'd never back down from a cooking challenge!

[coolerthansora]

You're- gonna make me a cake?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Well... yeah. I mean... I wanna. And you can't have a party without cake. I mean unless you did somethin' last week that means I shouldn't... but even if you did, I missed it anyway, so as far as I know we're still friends, right?

video;

[coolerthansora]

Y-yeah, we're still friends.

I just... I've never had a birthday before. I didn't think people would wanna do that much for it.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Well... yeah. I mean I didn't even really have normal birthdays and we still did a whole lot for 'em at the abbey. And hey if this is technically your first real one, then we gotta go all out!

video;

[coolerthansora]

All out?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Big party, huge cake, lotsa presents, lotsa food, all your friends there... yehknow, the whole big party experience!

video;

[coolerthansora]

I don't know about big, but... I guess I do want all my friends there. I hope Sora wakes up soon...

video;

[keepsthefire]

[Well that deflates him]

He's out, too... ?

video;

[coolerthansora]

Yeah. [Roxas blinks.]

Who else is...?

video;

[keepsthefire]

I was. I just woke up on Wednesday...

video;

[coolerthansora]

Oh. I- just thought you were sick.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Bad timing... everything kinda piled on top of me at once and, well...

[he rubs the back of his neck a bit, not really wanting to get in to what Yukio did. Enough people were already pissed at him for how he treated his big brother.]

video;

[coolerthansora]

It does seem like you've had it rough lately.

But- your brother's here now, right? [...yeah, Roxas doesn't realize that contributed to the bad news.]

video;

[keepsthefire]

Kinda, yeah...

[Even if it did, Rin is still glad he's here. Even if he does have to deal with the fact that Yukio is slowly being corrupted by his own demon genes eventually...]

Yeah, he is. 'bout damn time.

[Tiny attempt at a joke there.]

video;

[coolerthansora]

Were you glad to see him?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Yeah! I almost knocked him through the kitchen door I hugged him so hard.

video;

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas grins a little.]

Well, that's one thing.

video;

[keepsthefire]

He surprised me! I was workin' the Charity Day alone so I didn't even know he was there until he showed up at the club. Even wound up helpin' me in the kitchen so we could catch up while I worked.

video;

[coolerthansora]

He cooks, too?

video;

[keepsthefire]

Eh, not really. He leaves it to me. But that doesn't mean he can't cut an onion or two, yehknow? He just wanted to help since I was so backed up and he'd just gotten there.

video;

[coolerthansora]

I guess he's not so stiff once you get to know him.

video;

[keepsthefire]

... you talked to him?

video;

[coolerthansora]

When he got here. I thought he'd wanna know you were here.

video;

[keepsthefire]

Oh. Well, thanks for that. Sorry if he was an ass to you.
