Good morning, Luceti! I'm twenty-one today!

[And clearly, she's just a little font of joy because of it.]

This is the first birthday I've had outside of my tower at home. I know Eugene had a rave, but what has everyone else done for their birthdays while they've been here? Or, I suppose if you haven't had a birthday here, what did you typically do?

[Elizabeth doesn't take the day off, even though it's her birthday. She's happy being out and about, enjoying the day and being in the village. She goes to the grocery store, pokes around the item shop and clothing shop a little, picks up some of Booker's preferred whiskey at Good Spirits... she's even running errands she really doesn't have to run. And while she loves the library, today she chooses to read for a bit outdoors--because otherwise she'd spend all day inside. It's a good day to be alive, and that's how Elizabeth is viewing it, and she's going to spend it out in the world. For the first time.]

I'm ready now! Come on, let's go! Let's go right now!

[After, dropping her book back in her bag and picking it up, Elizabeth easily takes Jack's hand and pulls him into motion towards the battle dome. Very excited, yes, but she isn't about to pull Jack's arm out of his socket.]

Woah-!

[Even if it's not excessive force, it's still more that Jack's expecting, especially considering that Ranni seems to have caught onto the game fairly quickly and is also cheerfully pulling him down the lane that leads both to his house and the battle dome. He grins, trotting along behind the two, more or less keeping up.]

I'll have to drop Ranni off at home, but that should be it.

[tearmeanewone]

Ohh, she'll be so disappointed. I can see it in your eyes already Ranni. [She grins at the dog, the dog grins back, clearly there isn't much disappointment going on in either girl.]

Bellying up to Max or Gene for a nice, warm nap? Oh, it breaks her heart.

[The dog really isn't breed standard in colour or temperament, obviously, but Jack hardly minds having a fuzzy ambassador of cheer and goodwill. Maybe another day he'll take her trotting around the simulation he has planned out, but for the moment, Elizabeth deserves to take centre stage.

They reach the house without issue and he unlocks the door, leaning in just enough to shoo Ranni inside and hang up her leash on the hook by the door before re-locking the two man locks and taking them back down the path.]

So. Never a birthday surprise. Not even a gift you weren't really expecting.

It's hard to be surprised when every day is kept generally the same on purpose. [Elizabeth smiles sadly, folds her hands behind her back and tries to shrug it off.] And most of my gifts, when he brought them, were the same as always. Books, paint, clothes...
