Hey there, Cedric! _[Wave.] So today is a very special day. I hope you haven't forgotten it!

_{[Even if it's understandable if he did, but shh, Flora's smiling anyway. She's also holding a pink, heart-shaped (so many hearts) guitar and gives it a strum.]}

This one goes out to a very special wizard!

_{[And then she starts to play the Happy Birthday song, while happily singing along.

She might have added a few riffs here and there, though.

And a very long rock finish.]}

Happy Birthday, Cedric! It might not be what you had in mind for it, but I still wish you all the best, today, on your Sorta-Birthday!

[Cedric stares at the screen in shock for a few moments. He'd forgotten their conversation about this. But he remembers soon enough, smiling along. That's when he clicks on for a response, looking at the screen happily.]

Wow, Flora that's...incredible. I can't believe you remembered! Thank you.

_{[Flora moves her guitar around so it rests flat against her back before she winks, still smiling.]}

Of course I did! We picked the day together, didn't we? And thank you, you're a marvelous audience.

I suppose other things have been on my mind. Thanks for reminding me. I think I ought to do something for the occasion, right?

Not a problem! And if you want to talk about anything, I'm here to listen, but if you have the time, doing something for yourself might be really fun, too.

I think I should. It's just...well, it's hard when the one thing I really want to do is only possible in the simulation room.

But that's better than nothing.

Do you mean flying or that game--Quidditch?

Just flying. I love that so much.

I've been grounded before, but I can't imagine it lasting for a while. I'm sorry, Cedric.

I might find a way up again someday. But even if I don't things could be worse, yeah?

I suppose you're right about that. But, hey, are you at all busy today?

No, not really. I haven't had things to do in a while, and the apartment's empty. Roommates keep leaving, and the new people assigned here are trying to get moved with their friends.

So there's plenty of space.

Would you mind some company, then? I have a little something for you.

Not at all. There's plenty of room.

Wonderful! I'll be right over. What's the apartment number?

103. It's just me at the moment.

[until the spaceship blows it up the next day]

_{[Best post date birthday present.]}

I'll be right there!

Great!

[Switch to log so we can use it for AC this month? I can get it.]

See you soon!

_{[Certainly! I'll be back later, anyway. Class just finished, lmao. /STUDIOUS]}

It's up whenever you have time. No rush!

but the link still works

Ricco.

Uh. So, rhetorical question. What would you do if you kissed your best friend and they kissed you back?

Just. Rhetorically.

That's funny, I don't remember us kissing.

[Okay, unfunny joke. He chuckles awkwardly and moves on.]

Well...rhetorically, do you want it to be a good sign?

( Well played. He gets a laugh, for that, and some of the tension in her voice is broken with it. )

Cute.

( A little huff, and she's struggling to mull it over. ) Well, yeah. I think. It's a good sign, right? I mean, as a rule.

( no she has no idea )

Yeah, I think it is too.

But you should talk to them. I know that's far easier said than done, and there's a lot to worry about. But even if they don't like you that way...they're not your best friend for no reason. I don't think they'll say you can't be friends anymore.

'Course you do.

( She's nodding as she listens, and of course he can't see that, but-- )

Okay. That makes sense. ( Gold star, Cedric. ) I just don't usually make out with really really good friends. Like, usually they're someone I like, obviously, but not my best mate.

( As if she needs to justify this. )

Best friends fall in love all the time.

I did with mine. Quick kiss after a Quidditch match.

Hey, hold up. Love - that's a big word.

( Steady on there, buddy. She might have used that word in a more general, vague sort of... sense, describing it to someone else, but that was different. )

Did her team win or yours?

( Okay maybe she thinks his romantic ideals are kind of adorable )

Hers. She used her charm against me and I slipped.

But that was absolutely the last time. It's different when you're dating---win and you get to tease a little, as long as you treat the losing team with grace and maturity.

I've prepared a few of her favourite dinners in my time.

Ah. Yeah. Charms a killer, ain't it?

( Maybe they're talking about different charms - this related to quidditch, after all. ) I'll see if I can get the hang of that, then. I might be a bit too smug.

Are you suggesting I cook?

( Amused, more than anything, not even shooting to sound playfully offended. )

It's one way to charm a date. But I don't know your date. Maybe they like painting, or athletics, or walks along the wreckage of the city.

You might know them.

( Just muttered, because she knows for a fact that Cedric knows Stephanie, but she's not sure if she wants to be quite that... explicit, yet. Hmm. )

Huh. Okay. So, basically you're telling me to be sensible and not make a big deal out of it.

( Go figure. )

Exactly. I know you're smart, Ellie. You'll be fine.

And if you're not, I'll be here with a hug and some biscuits.

That's because you're the best bloke in this city, Ricco.

( Seriously. Has she told him how great he is? Because he really is. )

Thanks. I'll uh, do my best, I guess.

I hope it goes spectacularly.

I can always count on you. I'll let you know.

( stop being such a good friend she isn't sure how to cope. )
