[A Belated Birthday] [Video]

[darklycharming]

[Gellert is standing outside and there is darkness all around him, apart from the candle he is holding which illuminates his face.]


So it seems that I have missed my birthday.... At least according to the community in general. Peculiar how time is different all over.

Well, this may call for a belated display of colour then.


[He grins and points his wand toward the sky. Soon there are magical bursts of fireworks lighting it up.]

[darklycharming]

Thank you, Fraulein.

[heavenlyhome]

Did you happen to do anything special?

[darklycharming]

Not especially.

But a much more pleasant a day away from my guardian aunt.

[heavenlyhome]

It is good to take time for yourself, especially on your special day.

[darklycharming]

I've spent many a day like that.

[heavenlyhome]

Do you prefer your solitude?

[darklycharming]

Sometimes it is good to be alone.

[heavenlyhome]

And at other times, with others. Yes, that is true.

[darklycharming]

Yes, but my birthday as a child was a time of solitude because my guardian aunt was especially disagreeable on that day.

[heavenlyhome]

I'm sorry to hear that. If you are ever inclined to take a change of pace and spend it with your friends, there are many people here that would be glad to see you, I am sure.

[darklycharming]

We can get together any time. It doesn't have to be on a certain day, surely?

[heavenlyhome]

Certainly. But it is nice to have an excuse to make things special. It can add extra meaning to the festivities.

[darklycharming]

I shall have to remember that.

When is it your birthday, Fraulein?

[heavenlyhome]

At the beginning of February.

[darklycharming]

We should do something special then.

[heavenlyhome]

Oh, no, that is not necessary.

[darklycharming]

Even more reason to do it then.

You are very sweet, Fraulein.

[heavenlyhome]

Ah, then, if you insist...
