[sup, it's a rabbit you probably haven't seen hide or hare hair of for awhile. she's looking a bit broody today, sitting by herself in some kind of chromatically-decorated boba tea shop. wonder why!!]

What's the point of turning 20 when you can't even celebrate it with the people you care about? [she twitches her ear, taking a long sip from an oversized straw.] At least my birthday fell on the day after Triple Moon, huh?

Less chance of me running into a Sanguis with uncontrollable bloodlust.

[aka "I can't make vague attempts at stumbling into the path of a hungry carnivore"

SORRY SHE'S BEING!! MOODY.....]

Though I guess it's normal for old people to treat their birthday like a normal day.

[Tanjiro drops his device first, and then picks it up and forcibly sets it down to kind of yell at it.]

Haru-san!!! Happy birthday!! I didn't know, I'm sorry! Can I make you something?

[hopticulture]

[WHY SO LOUD OMG she has large ears she can HEAR.]

I didn't expect anyone to know my birthday since I didn't tell anyone! You don't have to make me anything. Now that I'm 20 it's just a day like any other.

[zutsuki]

[Because this is something to be loud about!!! Though he does hunker down and get quieter, huddling around his device instead.]

Age doesn't matter, though! You're still allowed to celebrate.

[hopticulture]

It does just feel like any other day, honestly...especially because I'm pretty alone here now.

[SORRY SHE IS JUST DIGGING HERSELF AN EMOTIONAL HOLE it's what she does for comfort.]

I'm no longer a teenager so I can put silly things like that behind me.

[zutsuki]

[He puffs his cheeks up.]

Haru-san?

[hopticulture]

Ye~es?

[zutsuki]

Would it be okay for me to come visit you? [He's gonna hug you, Haru.]

[hopticulture]

Hmm...not if you're coming over because you feel sorry for me.

[zutsuki]

[He puts his elbows on his desk and his chin in his hands, shaking his head slowly.]

What if I'm coming over because I wanna celebrate getting to know your birthday? We don't have to celebrate the birthday itself, but I'm glad I know. 21 is a significant age, right? This way I know for next year.

[brawlcreed]

Twenty is old now?

[hopticulture]

It's the oldest I've ever been.

[brawlcreed]

Makes sense. I'll be twenty-one next month, but I never though of that as "old". Not when I've got such energetic friends who are much older than me.

[hopticulture]

[don't mind her she's being hyperbolic and a bit of a brat....]

Not being a teenager anymore is definitely old.

[hopticulture]

Is it? I know in other countries it is... [shhh making things up about furry world shh] but 20 just means I'm just more officially an adult.

You can come over to visit if you'd like, but if it is because you do feel sorry for me I'll be mad. Wanting to celebrate getting to know my birthday sounds a bit of stretch.

[zutsuki]

[He puffs his cheeks out again.]

It's not! I know it sounds weird. Maybe I also just wanna see you. [Let the friendship incarnate love you, Haru.]

[hopticulture]

[IT'S HER party BIRTHDAY SHE CAN CRY IF SHE WANTS TO.]

You could have just put it that way!

[brawlcreed]

Welcome to being old, then.

[zutsuki]

I'm also happy to know your birthday though!

[omg it’s her birthday??? was that why Louis- ??? wait!!!]

Haru!. You’re not old at all, what are you saying?! That’s still perfectly marriageable age!

[hopticulture]

[her cheeks puff out a bit and her ear twitches.

she rests her chin on her hand, leaning against the table.]

Who says I want to get married anyway.

[lumberlady]

Eh- You don’t?

I mean, wait-

[Every now and then... the 1620 comes out...]

I’m not saying you have to, just- You totally could! So you’re not old at all!

Hm, I wouldn't necessarily say that old people are the only ones who treat their birthday as just another day. It has more to do with personal feelings.

Of course having others there with you to celebrate also certainly helps.

[circumitus]

People seem to care a lot about their birthdays around here.

[Says the near-centenarian who's never properly celebrated a birthday in her life(s).]

[zunge]

You make it sound like 20 is unspeakably old.

Oh, just wait until you get into your 30's. You'll love for them to be normal days.
