[ There is the sound of a party horn. ]

[ That's it. That's the entry. Aren't you glad you clicked? ]

Oh... shit. Sorry, I - didn't realize this was supposed to be a birthday thing. I was just being facetious.

[AWK LAUGH]

Hey, happy birthday, though!

[profanation]

[ He chuckled, clearly not offended in the slightest. ]]

That's all right. I was being a little facetious myself!

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

[axemeaquestion]

No problem. Not a birthday guy?

[Since they're both being a little facetious, here.]

[profanation]

Ah, not particularly. You start to lose track after a while... but who am I to stop when presented with a party horn?

[axemeaquestion]

I think I understand. I dreaded the last few - still sorta dreading the next one - but you can't really deny party horns and birthday margaritas, can you?

Can I ask how old?

[Her tone implies he can say no, if he wants.]

[profanation]

You know, I used to keep this a secret! But I suppose it doesn't matter anymore.

[ He scratched his cheek and hummed, as if in deep thought. ]

I'll be two thousand and sixty nine today.

[axemeaquestion]

... Huh.

[huh.]

I'm PRETTY sure you're shitting me, but I also met a hundred-year-old guy who looks my age.

[profanation]

I'm not, as you said, 'shitting you'. There are others older than I here!
