Dear White Dragon Kija,
There is no greater birthday surprise than receiving such when it isn't one's birthday at all. If your gift weren't so thoughtful and lovely, I'd be mortified at the fact that you seem to know my birthday as well as my measurements, but thankfully you're only right about one of those things. I'd be pretty amazed, too, now that I think of it. Do you have a hidden talent?
You have truly made my day! Please accept my gratitude and know that I will return the favour one day.
Are you really that shocked that you tried to guess my birthday and got it wrong? Your chances were one in a... [ how many days are there in a year again? ] --your chances were low.
--I'm kidding! I-- ah. You made it weird. [ And now she said it... ]
Heh... thank you. It's... you're really kind, you know that? We barely know each other and this is the most thoughtful not-birthday present I've ever gotten. Real birthdays included! Wow, that sounds depressing. -- Ignore that last bit! Hee!
You're welcome ... [ But why does all that sound kind of sad?? It makes him wonder how her other birthdays must have been like. And before he can stop himself ... ] What were your other birthdays like?
[ His stupid mouth goes ahead and asks her. ]
You ... you do not have to answer if this is prying too much! [ He doesn't want to bring up any sad memories!!! ]
Well - I had my theories, I thought maybe she hated me, or just had some thing about germs 'cause of the gloves, then when our parents passed away, I figured she just had a lot to deal with her eventual coronation. Of course, I would've helped her, but--
[ ok, slow down, speedy ]
--a-anyway, the real reason was that magic is an unknown thing in our country. Elsa grew up thinking she was dangerous...
[ Anna wonders how Elsa would feel about her powers here sometimes. ]

Please do not think much of it. Even if we have not known each other for very long, an occasion as special as your birthday deserves

The compliment was sincere! It looks beautiful on you! [ He's trying to make things right and now this just feels weirder and weirder. ]

... Why? Who was behind that door?

no subject
Date: 2016-09-20 01:03 pm (UTC)--But that's all in the past now! What about you, Kija? Did you ever feel... y'know... different?
