"Da! Daaad!" With no further warning, the kid hurls himself at Azelle, grinning practically ear to ear. "Happy birthday! I made a card!" Indeed, he has; it is waved about one-handedly for emphasis, and - is that glitter? It's definitely glitter. The card is effectively doused in the stuff; upon inspection, it's clear that the deliverer is ALSO covered in as much glitter as one would expect from the creation and handling of such a card.

      ⇉

                 Azelle has about half a second to prepare himself before his kid barrels into him.  He can’t be mad in the slightest – Arthur is grinning and happy, which would be a fine enough birthday present with the… Card.   Card??  That’s purportedly what it is, but all Azelle sees is a thin cut of solid glitter…  

                 Arthur is almost just as covered.  Azelle’s clothes will be too.  He loves his son, but how did he manage that??

                 ❝ Thank you!! ❞ he says, voice devoid of any cue that Azelle might find his current position less than pleasant.  ❝ Let’s see… ❞

                 One arm is wrapped around Arthur in a loose hug.  His other hand gently plucks the card from Arthur’s hand, and opens it.  It’s a little… damp from paste.  His thumb sticks to the inside. 

                 Even if it’s completely covered in glitter and glue, it’s a very cute card, almost as cute as the one who gave it to him.  Azelle refolds the card and pulls Arthur into a tighter hug, using his non-glued hand to ruffle Arthur’s sparkling hair.

                 ❝ I love it!!  I love you, too.  How’d you get so sparkly?? ❞

"Greetings Lord Azelle! I heard it was your birthday so here." Rinea gifted him with a pair of gloves that was red with gold trimmings to match his outfit. "It can get cold in the winter and I noticed you did not have any gloves to protect your hands so I had these made for you. It's not much but I hope you like it."

      ⇉

                 Among the wealthy, commissioned gifts for small occasions weren’t unusual, but Azelle still thought they were a little more special than just buying something that had already been made.  The gloves are lovely, and they match the rest of his ensemble nicely.  They’re special.

                 He puts them on immediately, beaming.

                 ❝ Thank you!!  These are nice, I’m pretty sensitive to the cold… 

                 ❝ Velthomer is a desert oasis, so it doesn’t get the same kind of cold that it does here…  Gloves are kind of dangerous for fire mages, but as long as I’m not needed, these will be really comfortable!!  Thank you so much!!❞

"Happy Birthday Azelle!" (from lilina uvu)

      ⇉

                 They know of his birthday in Askr??  Azelle pauses.  If they know when he was born, what else do they know??  How long will it be before they start asking more personal questions or even just knowing things about him and it all turns to –

                 Relax.  It’s your birthday.

                 ❝ Ah, thank you, Lady Lilina!!  I hope you have a good day as well!! ❞
