I know this is probably a bit of a stupid question, but I'm actually mildly curious. And you know what they say: 'curiosity killed the cat'.

So, my birthday is tomorrow and I'm turning eighteen, finally. . . To be honest, birthdays aren't as big of a deal, which is why I want to know if there's anything special that people do for their eighteenth? Or just birthdays in general.

I'm interested in how other worlds celebrate, after all.

Thanks in advance!

No, thanks for coming. And thanks. I live with someone else, but he's not here at the moment, and it shouldn't be an issue if he does come back.

[ She sound rather appreciative and it shows in her light tone and even how she seems to smile at Haru. ]

Anyway, it's not that big of a place, but feel free to put them on the table next to the couch.

[gracile]

Hmm-hmm, all right then! [She enters, taking off her shoes and padding over to the indicated table.] I'm a little jealous that you have a roommate... I live by myself and it can be a little lonely sometimes!

[And a boy, too? How bold, Inaba.

She sets the bag on the table.] There's some fresh bread in there, and some homegrown vegetables, and some tea! I figured it was a safer gift than coffee.

[dereban]

I understand that a lot, actually. Since I didn't have a roommate for a while.

[ But she honestly doesn't care much about gender since she's been in a boy's body before, not to mention it isn't as if they're staying in the same room together. ]

And thanks, I appreciate it. I'm not much of a chef, but maybe I can use some of these in curry?

[gracile]

I think they'd be quite good in curry! They're not exactly the same as the vegetables we have back home, but they're quite tasty nonetheless.

[She straightens up, clapping her hands in front of her.] Have you had many others over today to celebrate your big day?

[dereban]

Haha, yeah. Guess I'd have to experiment a little bit.

[ She laughs sheepishly before shaking her head. ] Nah, not too many people, honestly. Not that I'm necessarily displeased.

[gracile]

Well, whatever you wind up doing, please let me know! I'd be delighted to learn more about how this place's veggies go in food.

[Haru rocks from her heel to toe.] So...

...what else would you like to do? I'm sorry, I'm not entirely used to celebrating a friend's birthday.
