Log:

[There was no denying that the last few weeks had been hectic. Between what happened in Goldenrod and then the scramble to get out of the city, there hadn't been any time to do much of anything besides catch their breath. Adding house repairs to that and Lightning had barely been able to get this to go right.

But she'd managed. She'd managed and everything was set, right down to the small cake waiting in the fridge until dinner had passed. And no, she hadn't tried to cook dinner herself. She'd ordered takeout.]


Hope? Can you come here a minute?

[Here being the kitchen, but there was something else she had in mind. Hopefully he hadn't yet spotted the gift wandering about outside.]

It's looking pretty good to me so far. Wish I had the roof half as nice.

[Shingles are the single most boring, deceptively-simple things ever, he's quite decided on this. The more he looks at them, the more he's determined they can't possibly be on straight.

But even so he's smiling, because that's work and today's about the best and biggest Shotabro ever. He pauses near Lightning, so hopefully the birthday boy won't hear him]


He still sore?

[He surely wasn't the first to notice, but the stiff movements and recoil from hugs are kind of obvious]

[Hope squints at both of them-- he cant hear them or read lips, obviously, but he'd have to be blind to not know that they're talking. It makes him a little suspicious, even though he wont actually be doing anything about it.]

The roof will have to stay the way it is for now, unfortunately. It's less important than insulating the loft.

[And... well. Patching up the roof also contributed to his sunburn.]

Yeah, you guys are right...

[And Ven's content to let the subject go for now, shoes clunking until they reached the sand. And then of course they effectively sank, as usual, but he paid that no mind.

Instead, once they're near Hope, he just beams up at him. Sure, they're very close in height now, but Hope continues to have an edge on him]


So what's it like being a whole year older?

[After all, Hope's gotten ahead of most folks here]

It may be my birthday, but that doesn't automatically make me feel older than yesterday.

[Sheesh, you little Disney baby.] The only change is that I have to remember to put my age down differently.
