[There's almost a protest when he mentions cooking and cleaning being 'unseemly,' even though she knows it to be true even in the culture of her kind, though usually at the insistence of those who the nobles were supposed to be looking out for. Though it didn't have much to do with that, so much that she would like to be able to do those things on her own someday, without having to ask for help.

At least Frey was able to appreciate it, but there was something else he had brought up that was a much more pressing issue.] Really? So is she your girlfriend or something?

[Oh, he doesn't consider it unseemly himself- Others, however, would. Which is the story of his life in some ways.

Though his face takes on a red tinge as he protests the false assumption.] No! She's... we've grown up with each other since we were children!

[... Freyjadour, you are not helping your case in the slightest. People who end up marrying usually grew up together! ... Or at least that was the case in her culture.]

So why not? That's usually what happens between people who get married.

...She's my bodyguard. And my best friend. And... [dsgf Kaori stop it. You and Lymsleia lately, really..... The focus on his lack of a lovelife was making him a bit uncomfortable.]

Can we drop this?

[She can sense that discomfort loud and clear, and what almost sounds like pleading? So as a favor she will drop it just this once, but before she does there has to be something she has to know first, ignoring the slight annoyance that someone else out there could possibly usurp her duty to protect Frey.]

Why?

....Because people keep mentioning her in such a way.

It is awkward. [Sighing a bit.]

Try the cake?

[Awkward it may be, she's going to bring it up again someday. Just not now because Frey has very generously provided her with a delicious-smelling cake, and it is high time she tried it.

So that she does, and it's pretty obvious by the way her eyes widen and she takes another bite that she's really enjoying the taste. Honestly Frey, you spoil her too much and it's unfair now that she's thinking about it.]

[How is it unfair? He enjoys it- has always enjoyed seeing people happy.... call him silly, but he took enjoyment out of making people smile, and the cake was just as much a 'thank you' as it was a celebration. He'll serve himself a slice, smiling slightly and waiting for her to finish chewing before asking.]

Good?

Mm-hmm! [In fact, she'll go ahead and take another bite of it, very much glad that she could taste it properly and that she was feeling better today at all. How long had Frey been planning for this?]

Did anyone ask any weird questions while you were making it?

[A little while, really. It had taken him a bit to find a good cake recipe to try, and while he'd planned to do more..... Well.]

Not really... I made sure to work on it while people were out to make sure it stayed intact. [Because hungry teens. Hungry teens everywhere.]

[Hungry teens in which the majority were male – it made for an interesting experience whenever there were conflicts in the household, which occasionally made her uncomfortable. Not that it really bothered her that much, she sometimes liked the lively energy associated with living with everyone.]

You worked so hard but I didn't make anything... [And she hadn't even remembered, which made it all the more worse.]

....Huh? [He's a tiny bit confused why she's saying something like that, but he has an idea. It really has been a long time.]

It is nothing to worry about. I wanted to. [He liked doing things like this... small, simple things.]

[Even if Frey liked to do these things for people – and it was that kindness that she loved most about him – it did not do much to ease her guilt for it. But she's not going to bring it up more that she has to.]

I wanna do something for you too, Freyjadour... [Because he might not realize it, he's made her life in Luceti so much better with his friendship.]

....You don't have to, but if you want to you can. [He didn't really expect anything of her in response to this, but he wouldn't say she couldn't if she truly wanted to.]

'Kay! [She'll make it her personal project now, and even though her lack of sight will undoubtedly hinder what she can do, she does have determination.]

Actually, if it's March... isn't it almost going to be another year since you've been here?

It will be next month, yes.

[Two years here.... It was hard to imagine, he had been here longer then the entirety of the war that had only just ended.

A lot of time had passed, for him... for everyone.

Except in all that time.. there was something he felt was missing.... What was.....]

.....now that I think of it...

Did I somehow miss your birthday, Kaori?

My birthday? [There's definitely surprise in her voice, mostly because her own birthday just hadn't seemed to be very special after so many years of being unable to celebrate, as far as she knew. It didn't mean that she didn't realize their importance, she just couldn't see why hers mattered.]

I don't think so... It's in June? [Except she couldn't really remember last June, courtesy of the Malnosso.]

June....? Do you know what day?

[That was only three months from now....It gave him enough time to plan something.]

It's the ninth... My brother was born almost the end of the eighth, so I was born on the ninth. [She had already been taken by that time last year, and the injuries she had sustained from the draft in the jungle had made it so that her birthday was the last thing on her mind.]

I'll be sixteen? Huh...

....sixteen? That is quite the important age.

[huh.... yes, he could do something with this.]

Is it? I thought fifteen was more important. [Because that was the age when you had to marry and start a family, wasn't it?]

Oh? Is it?

In my country it is 16.

... But that seems kind of old? [She doesn't feel it's appropriate to say that most people don't live past twenty right now, there wasn't any need to bring down their spirits with that knowledge today.]

Well, I guess it is only a years difference....

Maybe... [And as she continues to chew on her slice thoughtfully, there's the vague sense of wonder... Would now be a good time to try to get him know better? It would fit the occasion wouldn't it?]

Say, Freyjadour? Could you... tell me a little bit more? About your home? [Things she didn't overhear the times she had woken up to him having nightmares, beyond what he had shared about the war that took place in his home.]
