012th Meatbun ☼ Voice / Action

[the_brightest_sun]

[The message is sent in the morning after the kid wakes up and he's still lazing around the living room of the apartment.]

Ne, ne, today is April 9th, right? I didn't mess up with the calendar, did I? Everyone was talking we lost a day the last week and I couldn't remember so I went ahead and took off a sheet from the calendar, so today is the 9th, isn't it?

Ah, but if that's not it then it's the 8th? Then today is my birthday! Or it was yesterday, I don't know. But i doesn't matter because now I'm an adult!

[Goku laughs proudly. Yes, he's so much of an adult! Because now he's two years old, see? Now he has yearS, in plural, like all the adults do.]

Niisan said that all adults are irresponsible and don't need to sleep much so now that I'm now I can stay up late playing and drawing!!

[Such a mature mindset. Anyway, let him think if there's anything else he wants to say or ask. Ah, right.]

Ah! Before I forget! There's going to be a festival, right? This Saturday, the Starfish Festival, I think. Anyone knows if I can have an okonomiyaki stand? I could cut the okonomiyaki so it has a star shape! It will be delicious! And tons of fun, I love the festivals here, there aren't boring speeches like in Heavens. And there's no people who badmouths my friends, too...

By the way, anyone knows what's a "pedophile"? One of my friends was called that once, I'm sure it's something bad but I don't really get it.

[He will stop rambling at Luceti's ears for now. But before he leaves he spends a bit more of time making a pretty drawing-advertisment. Okay, the "pretty" part is subjective.

After that he will be at the okonomiyaki restaurant for anyone who wants to eat or pay a visit to him.]

I know, but you could cut yourself. It's best if we don't touch it at all.

[She retrieves the broom and pan after a moment, holding out the latter.]

Set this on the floor and I'll sweep the pieces into it, okay? And then we can get to your birthday treat.

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

Okay!

[Watch him perform the task of holding the pan on the floor with a very serious face and all his concentration. This is serious and important business after all.]

Like this?

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

[Goku, why so adorable? Rydia doesn't dare laugh, though, nodding with equal solemnity.]

Right.

[A few broad sweeps and she straightens.]

There, all done. Dump it in the trash, please?

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[He nods and does just that, still all concentrated and serious with the task at hand. You can't say he doesn't take this seriously.]

Is it safe now? I'm sorry I dropped it.

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

[She nods and smiles warmly at him.]

It's fine, Goku. Accidents happen. Besides, now it's cheesecake time.

[Beckoning him to join her after he's done with the glass, she divides the treat and serves him a slice.]

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[No need to tell him twice. The kid is climbing to the chair in a matter of seconds, ready to start eating.]

Can I start now?

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

Of course! Dig in.

[And she cuts a slice for herself.]

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[The poor cake never stood a chance. Watch him devour it in two bites.]

This cake is delicious, Rydia-neesan!!

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

[She laughs, as his appetite reminds her of Ceodore's.]

More?

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[Pretty sure he has more appetite than Ceodore. Goku looks sheepishly.]

Can I have more?

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

Yes, you can! One more slice, coming up.

[She'll try to stop him from having too much, though, not wanting to give the poor kid a stomach-ache for a birthday gift.]

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[With his stomach that would require four cakes most probably. Goku just smiles and cheers.]

Thank you, Rydia-neesan! This is a great gift! I love it!

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

[And that smile just makes her melt. What a cute kid.]

You're very welcome, Goku. I'll have to surprise you with more creations, even when it's not your birthday.

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

You made this then? Can I learn to make a cake too?

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

Of course! If I can do it, so can you.

[She's not the most domestic person ever, by any stretch, but plenty of time on her hands has helped her gain a few new skills.]

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

Will you teach me? I want to make one for my niisan when it's his birthday.

[Action]

[mistlegacy]

I think we can manage that. When is his birthday?

[Action]

[the_brightest_sun]

[Good question. Pity he doesn't know, still he will try to remember it because maybe he was told and just forgot it.]
