"Note to self: Peppercorn steak for Kashiki."
"Around ten days ago was Archivist Avenfold's birthday. The thing I've learned about Human birthdays is that the occasion is either quite a big deal to them, or they make an even bigger deal about how they don't wish to make a big deal of it. It's also apparently considered appropriate etiquette to inquire a Human woman's age only secondhand. I have not known many Sylvari to commemorate the date of their emergence, as it's often a day as much of sorrow in the loss of one's deep immersion in the Dream as it is one of joy at the start of a new adventure. Furthermore, in the collective connection we are all being born every day, constantly, as each turning of the world a new part of ourselves opens its eyes.
We would be holding parties every single day, I believe is my point. It would really get in the way of getting anything done."
