Video; UN: seeingtheworld

[schoolingfish]

[When the video comes up, it shows Reaper and Luca on the cold and frozen beach together. Whoever's filming them is standing back and very low to the ground, seeming almost like they're trying to stay out of sight. Luca is bundled up just in case, even though he's wearing Fern's sun pendant which keeps him warm, and is starting to do some stretches.]

You know...I know I've seen people on the network call you a monster before, but I think they're wrong. I think you're actually really nice. You're teaching me how to defend myself, and you helped me get around all those traps when people were hunting vilebloods, and when you lived in the house with us you cooked food for us every day!

[He shifts positions and goes into another warm up stretch.]

I think they're just scared because you look scary. Like how people are with sea monsters back ho--

[With one of the stretches, he turns his body enough to spot the individual broadcasting this.]

Camilla? What are you doing?!

You don't endure birthday cakes, you enjoy them! I would say Bizcocho Dominicano as it's my favorite, but it's also pretty hard to make. I'd just go with a Devil's Food cake if you're serious about it!

So...in a few weeks, when I turn sixteen?

If I can find the ingredients, you'll get your Bizcocho Dominicano. And if it fails, Devil's Food Cake it is.

That sounds about right.

[imaglyphwitch]

Are you sure? I hear it's pretty hard to bake even if you DO find the ingredients.

[Luz is quietly holding out hope of course].

I'll be waiting then!

It can be difficult, and it's a lot of planning. It can't be any worse than fighting a war.

[He will produce. Reaper is determined that way, especially since she put in the effort to get him a cake.

He's going to put the story in a birthday card for maximum awkwardness.]

[imaglyphwitch]

Nope. Nope, I'd definitely say fighting a war is more involved.

[You could mess up a cake, and worst thing that could happen is you have to make it over. Couldn't really do that with a war.

Ha! You fool! That will be the most epic birthday card ever]!

[no_reload]

Depends on the cake and the decorations...

[But she was correct. War was far worse.]

[imaglyphwitch]

Well, it's just me! I'm not expecting a Quinceanera or anything!
