[TEXT]

Greetings, everyone! I am so glad that the worst of our troubles are over. Now that we are free to talk and walk without fear, I was curious about something, and perhaps we can use this as a chance to bond even closer!

How does your country, nation, or homeland celebrate birthdays? Mine has recently passed, so I was quite curious to know how others did it, in all places and social types.

Well, in my world birthdays are treated fondly. Living isn't something everyone can say they have much experience in-- doubly upon joining the military. Men would often be taken out for drinks by friends or family, the rich would have cakes and sweets for dinner while lower class families would take the night to have their stored meats over say soup. October 14th.. today I would have been turning 37.[That's really old for a Scouting Legion commander, lets be real. He doesn't want to be to public about it, no party, feels old.]

Hold on, are you saying it is your birthday today?

Happy Birthday! Merriest of celebrations! Shall I treat you for cakes and sweets, or would you prefer stored meat soup?

Well it is almost over, there would be no need..

[How flattering, however Erwin has long since given up on the idea of enjoy his birthday or getting older..]

... However if I were to pick.. I've been told the sweets of this world are far beyond what my expectations could fathom, I'm curious.

Then that is what you shall have. I will buy them as soon as possible and give them to you wrapped up in bows and paper, as tradition goes!

You're very kind

[That feels like.. so much. How old was this girl? Erwin feels so far out of his comfort zone right now, even if her gesture was completely harmless.]

However, you would never have to do such a thing for me. Our birthdays matter little in a place like this. [... That seems a little harsh for a young girl to hear, or at least he can only assume she's young.]

What about your own birthday, is it coming up? Perhaps save that money to celebrate with yourself and friends.

My birthday has already passed a few days ago. But I would rather celebrate someone else's than my own. Even if they matter little as they say, we should take every opportunity to indulge in something joyful. Besides, it's not just a matter of age. It's a celebration for the very fact you exist!

[He looks for a name before replying, the massage calms her name as Soina so it is what Erwin will use.]

Happy Bithdary, Sonia-- and oldly enough you have the right idea. If are Birthday's as so close why not combine the celebration? Surely, everyone can enjoy the birth of two individuals not just one?

[At least combining them wouldn't make things feel so awkward.]

What a splendid idea. Then how about this? I shall get you your sweets, and in turn, you get me a present. A simple exchange for our mutual celebration.

Humm.. very well. What is your most common intrest?

[He's never shopped for a teenage girl.. let alone would be if he wasn't extremely bored with what this world has to offer.]
