practicality

I hope it was at least a little enjoyable. It got a bit rowdy toward the end there.

Oh good, I'm so glad. I was a little worried that it might have gotten a bit loud. It was a great deal of fun, though! You know, it took some creative researching techniques to find out some of your favorite desserts. I tried to secret some away in non-descript containers in the fridge, so there may yet be some left tomorrow.

I think I warned him about that? I'm not sure. Things got a little fuzzy past a certain point. Wherever did he find such good liquor? I'll have to ask him later.

Have you decided where you'll hang the chime?

I don't think he stole it, but...just trust me on this one.

And it's not like my birthday is any more important. I'd like to get you something, at least.

And your birthday is important to me - is there a reason you won't tell me?

It's not an inconvenience, Sheska. And better late than never, I suppose?

W-well, I didn't really think about it? I-I mean, I was so excited about celebrating for you, and finding the chimes, and I don't really celebrate my own birthday... I just sort of forgot after a certain point.

That's really not... There already was a party! I don't need one - I enjoyed myself very much!

I didn't
It wasn't

I'd be happy to. I'm not certain what would be appropriate. I haven't done this before.

Well, not since I was very young. I haven't really had a reason to. If I was working, I took the day off to relax, but I didn't usually have the money to go out. And when I was a child we lived in the country, so Mother would cook my favorite meal for supper and we'd have a special dessert, but that was a long time ago.

To be honest, I hadn't really thought about it... Someone on the bus the other day suggested a category called "Greek"? I'm not certain what all it entails. I haven't had a chance for research on the topic. Have you heard of it before?

Friday will work quite nicely, thank you. Just let me know the dress code in advance?

It'll be an experiment, then! If you find some place you're a little more certain of, I certainly won't mind.
