[Good late morning, Trench. Have a REALLY excited Usagi (what else is new) who is finishing up wrapping something with a giant pink bow. She waves to the camera.]

HEY EVERYONE!

[She grins wide and big, fang-free for those who might be aware of what she's been going through the past few months.]

Do you know what today is?... Don't say Sunday.

NO! TODAY IS MAKOTO KINO'S BIRTHDAY!

YES! That's right! The amazingly beautiful, strong, talented, protective, best cook in all of Trench and I WILL fight you on that if you try to argue with me otherwise Makoto Kino has her birthday today!

So don't hesitate to wish her a happy birthday!

And for those of you who DO want to get her a gift... not that she expects one because she's Makoto and she's super humble like that, but if you want to get her something! Then she likes any and all cooking supplies, anything with pink roses on them, or hey pink roses themselves, or potted plants, and tigers!

I guess this is technically my 18th birthday since it's my second birthday here. But I wouldn't mind if you wanted to bake me a birthday cake.

Considering this isn't Kazakhstan, you still aren't legal drinking age.

[Which begged the question... was there a legal drinking age in this place? Being nearly sixty, he hadn't even thought about it.]

Do I look the sort that knows how to bake cakes?

[thunderingcourage]

It wouldn't be back home either.

Baking doesn't have anything to do with how you look. Besides you already surprised me once on the beach. Who knows what other talents you're hiding.

Drinking age is probably 20 or 21.

Fair point. What kind of cake do you even like?

[thunderingcourage]

Twenty, so I guess I have two more years. But I don't really think anyone cares about that here, or if there's anywhere to buy it.

[Makoto hadn't really checked, but then again when she'd gotten the same effect from a plate of cinnamon rolls or anything non-toxic, there wasn't a need to.]

Nothing too heavy, strawberry is one of my favorites when it comes to cake. Though usually, I prefer a cherry pie.

There's always someone somewhere that makes alcohol. It's a human vice, and every single culture had made it at least once.

[At least she knew what intoxication was like. Sadly, he didn't get that effect anymore.]

Ugh, strawberry, really? You have to dye the cake to keep it a pink colour because strawberry discolours. [So, he does know how to bake. And better than he would ever let on.] Birthday pie. You just can't help but be demanding.

[thunderingcourage]

Yeah, but it's not quite as much as with red velvet. And something like strawberry angel food cake doesn't really need any.

[So he did know how to bake! Wait was he actually going to make a pie instead?]

If it's a problem you don't have to worry about it. I can bake it myself if Usagi will let me.

Red velvet has cocoa in it, requiring a dye job. So you want to eat egg white cake... make up your mind.

No, shut up. It's your birthday.

[He was going to say it was payment for seeing her naked, but it was a bit too public and he knew she had body image issues.]

[thunderingcourage]

Alright, in that case, I'd be happy with either the pie or strawberry cake if you can.

[She was a little surprised, but had he added the last part she would have just died on the spot.]

Fine. When is your 'party'? I'll tell you if it's possible to have it done by then.

[thunderingcourage]

It's not really a party but Rei, Mina, and the others will be here around five or so.

[no_reload]

It might be fashionably late.

But it will be there.

[Reaper will be dropping off a cherry pie and a strawberry cake.]

[thunderingcourage]

[Wow, it really was happening!?! She was kind of shocked.]

Thank you! If you want you can have some of it with us.

[no_reload]

[Reaper snorted and shook his head.]

Considering the last them the lot of you and myself interacted it was to level threats at each other, it's better you celebrate without contentiousness.

[thunderingcourage]

That is a pretty good point. I'm not sure the others would be able to relax.

But I'll make sure that you get something too as a thank you.

[no_reload]

So I'll take a rain check on any parties.

[He shook his head as he stepped away from the door.]

I don't need anything. Though, if you're such a baker yourself, I expect critics.

[thunderingcourage]

Alright, I'll let you know what I think.

[no_reload]

Good.

[With that, he turned to walk away.]

I'll need my dishes back when you're finished.
