if we had money to spare we might try to buy a cake or a small present for whoever's it was. wasn't always easy though.

[bratherine]

aye?

( Yeah, she is definitely reconsidering how lucky she's been in the face the number of people here who seem to have seen some shit when it comes to birthdays. )

what kind of cake?

[shrieking_violet]

well i always wanted chocolate when it was available.

[bratherine]

( Kate doesn't care for chocolate, really, but that phrasing is curious enough to make her ask; )

it wasn't always?

( That's very different from home. And here, tbh. )

[shrieking_violet]

it's popular enough that they tried to keep some in stock but frankly i think they always cut it close just to make us compete over it

let me guess: this place is nicer than your homeworld?

[shrieking_violet]

what is that a common theme? i'd rather be with the people i care about but i've got a lot more freedom here at least.

[bratherine]

heard it once or twice.

( And, if she hasn't, she's heard stories from a few people which makes her think it's true for them, too. )

[shrieking_violet]

well back home i was a prisoner. from the time i was a baby. and raised to fight actual dragons for a society that hated me for existing.

so it's not hard to do better.

( blink

blink blink

sometimes you ask a question, get an answer, and really wish you hadn't asked the question in the first place.

what the fuck. )

congrats
that's the most messed up shit i've heard here

[shrieking_violet]

yay. do i win a prize?

[bratherine]

sure
you wanna drink

[shrieking_violet]

apparently sixteen is too young for that by some standards but if that's not a problem

[bratherine]

don't think they care much here

( Well, some people might but it's not like she or Shin have been pulled up for it yet. )

[shrieking_violet]

then i'm down.
