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.]

[Booker shakes his head as he swallows down the rest of his glass: No. He hadn't. He thinks they might've just missed each other as far as reading the post she made and scrambling together a present for her. But as it is, he probably wouldn't have touched the bottle if she'd got him one. This one, however, is not a gift from her and therefore he doesn't have to feel like he doesn't deserve it.]

That's a good look on you.

[Making the joke feels like pulling teeth but he thinks it'll make Elizabeth happy to hear it. Their conversations always ranged between sarcasm and things that tore their insides up; he wanted to keep it lighter.

Pouring himself another glass probably wasn't the smartest thing to do though.]

[At first, he isn't so keen to leave his stool. He's more afraid of how he'll only be reminded of what he'd taken away from both of them, verses just having a nice day with Elizabeth.

But when she tells him - reminds him - that this is the first time she's ever spent a birthday outside without nothing but Songbird for company...the guilt is more productive than he ever thought it could be. It at least makes him forget about himself and focus on her. Which is all he's ever happy doing. Really, it's a bit shameful that it takes her asking very timidly to spend time with him that makes him want to stop drinking. The glass rests full.]


Really? [It sounds too hopeful and he backpedals quickly.]

I ain't much fun you know.

[He's pretty sure she knows. But he just wants to remind her. Just in case.]
