No, ah-- Two weeks from now. Not--

[Wait, didn't he just say that? Is he walking into some kind of trap here where he's confirming it so Tsuru has an excuse to... do something like this? Or whatever else people do for birthdays?]

I-It's fine. Really.

(Just roll with it, Raidou,)

I'll have to prepare a surprise for next time. (Yes.) My... how old will you be, Raidou-kun?

[the_fourteenth]

Eighteen, technically, but... well, I missed six months of being seventeen, which it why I don't really think it counts. It was June in the Capital, and December when I arrived here.

[Should he move his birthday to October now? How does this work?]

[cranekin]

Time complicates things when you travel, doesn't it...

(He hums to himself, thinking about how the missions back home can take literal lifetimes but they always return back home to only a short time having past.)

Well, your time is what you make of it. You're as old as you feel in this case.

[the_fourteenth]

[He scoffs quietly at that, amused.]

If that's the case, I definitely don't have an answer.

[spoken as a teenager who's only gotten to be anything resembling a teenager in the last few months.]

[cranekin]

(He's just gonna pat him on the back... maybe a little too hard.)

You can figure it out as you go, Raidou-kun. There's plenty of time.
