Day 439 - [Accidental Video]

[coolerthansora]

[The feed opens on a bathtub.

Thankfully this isn't actually Roxas taking a bath. He's wearing swimtrunks, thank you very much, and the chocobos are with him. They're getting big enough now that all three of them nesting in his hair is probably no longer a possibility, and he's taken it upon himself to teach them how to swim.

The red chick seems to want no part of this and is watching from the safety of his shoulder. Roxas has his hands just under the water, beneath the yellow chick as it flounders around, and before too long he has to scoop it up so it can take a rest. The blue one meanwhile has this down already and is swimming placidly around the tub.]

...you're really good at this, Isa.

[... WHERE DID THAT EVEN COME FROM. He goes wide eyed for a beat.]

Well... it's not like it's really important.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas glances up.]

Sure it is. We've gotta celebrate.

[flared]

Celebrate? Ah– Heh... I don't think that's really necessary.

[coolerthansora]

It is to me.

[flared]

[... Shift shift]

Maybe we can.

[Emphasis on MAYBE.]

[coolerthansora]

...

Y'know, if you don't tell me, I'm just gonna pick a day, throw you a big party, and- tell everyone you're turning 30.

[flared]

Thir-- I'm not that old!

[Dude, not cool. He might be flustering a little... just a little.]

[coolerthansora]

How should I know? You never told me how old you are either.

[Complete face of innocence, really. Oh hey, Sunset seems ready to test the water... gingerly picking his feet up to try floating a little.]

[flared]

Well, I can tell you that I'm not thirty.

[So there.]

[coolerthansora]

Twenty-nine?

[Keeping his eyes on Sunset, and trying not to smirk.]

[flared]

[Glare]

No.

[coolerthansora]

You're really gonna make me guess?

1/2

[flared]

No. I mean-- [Sigh] --It doesn't even matter.

[flared]

[...]

... 27.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas looks up and smiles at him.]

That wasn't so hard.

[flared]

[HEAD SCRATCH]

Yeah, yeah. Just don't go spreading it around the place.

[coolerthansora]

What's wrong with it?

[flared]

You know. I just like to keep it a surprise.

[coolerthansora]

Since when is how old you are a surprise?

Unless it's really different from how you look.

[flared]

I just like keeping people guessing, I guess.

What is age anyway? It's just a number.

[Kanye shrug]

[coolerthansora]

Well, I think it's something, especially here. Every year we get is- special.

[Ah, Sunset is floundering after some attempts to swim instead of just float around. Roxas gently catches him up out of the water.]

[flared]

[He just watches as Roxas keeps Sunset busy and Isa cheeps as if amused, still floating around like a pro.]

Well, we'll see about that. Just don't go throwin' any parties and stuff.

[... Why did he bring it up]

[coolerthansora]

And what day am I not supposed to throw a party?

[He's going to get it out of you eventually, bestie.]

[flared]

[Oh no he sees what you're trying to do here. Axel leaps down from the counter then turns to face the door.]

Any day.

[coolerthansora]

Oh, come on. Why's it such a big secret?
