The morning had crumbled away, leaving behind the noon’s delight. As it were, not even Eruna’s special day could break her from her late sleeping habits. Though, one could argue she was up a bit earlier than was normal for her.
Tempted to give the door another knock, to prod the gentleman onward, he’d opened the door just in time to miss the beat. Lowering her fist slowly, she’d cheered, “Sora!”
Eyes gleaming, she was happy to see the face of who she considered to be a f r i e n d.
His tone the same as she’d last remembered, though she hesitated not to approach or speak to him. She’d just accepted this as his personality, and with a smile unwavering, she’d regarded his words. What did she want of him? - A sort of joke could probably be made here, but she wouldn’t so much as voice it. Dropping her scarf, it settled around her neck to reveal her signature smile.
“Today’s my birthday!!”
“We can go out and do anything! You can even buy me a gift! I’ll be there with you as a reference, so if you don’t know if I’ll like something, just ask! By then I can examine it’s price and quality, and give it an acceptable rating! ~”
In the end, it was partially a j o k e. Oh no, not the whole thing- a gift was still very much welcomed; but she would readily accept any gift he was willing to give her if any.
“I’ve nominated you as my playmate of the day! Are you honored? Too happy for words!?” Seeing as how Eruna considered an invitation from a cute girl an honor, and deemed herself as no less, how could the young man not feel blessed?
She’d had no idea she shared her birthday with the male; not yet, anyways. But maybe this day could be great for the both of them. The sunny weather, crisp fall air, and multi-colored leaves weren’t against them- and so, what could go wrong? Eruna was positive that they could have a good time- and even more positive that he could at least have a slightly better time than he would if he were home alone.
The day’s gears were winding in their favor. With excitement coursing through every vein, she’d awaited a reply. As long as he agreed to leaving the house- or at least, to spending time with her, their day could be enjoyable-
So long as the gears keep turning.
