Octava Twenty Sixth - Early Evening

I’m touched… truly. Today is much like any other day in my many years with one exception… it happens to mark the anniversary of my birth. Normally, a simple song to myself is more than enough of a celebration for me (unless that is, I happen to be in a city that is hosting some grand event of its own… but of course, I’d attend those any other day of the year as well!). It has been enough for many, many years. Today, however my companions must have decided it wasn’t.

Jen actually managed to find a way to make a cake out of our trail rations and dwindling supplies (I have a sneaking suspicion that magic was employed here, but it’s the sentiment that matters), and I found myself on the receiving end of one of Kirin’s largest hugs yet. I must say that it may have even bruised me a bit, but again, it’s the thought that counts.

I will have to discover when their birthdays are so that I may repay the favor.
