Um...

I suppose I should post this here. People having been saying I should be more confident in myself so...

I guess I wanted to let you know my birthday is coming up soon. So, I'm not too sure how to celebrate it here.

[Lyney is glad, because he is able to pat Freminet's shoulder and even give a reassuring squeeze that he hopes offers comfort and translates his gratitude towards his younger brother.]

I don't think you understand just how valued you are by us, both here and back at the House of the Hearth. Not only just because of your skills, but just for the sheer virtue of being you. I'm not lying when I say that I couldn't ask for a better younger brother than you, Freminet.

[Even if Freminet is overthinking, Lyney wants to be there to help banish those fears.]

I know sometimes you may not feel it, but trust me when I say you're doing everything and more. And even if we aren't there physically, we're always there in each other's hearts, right?

...You are right, we do keep the memories alive of those who aren't here.

[He should know. There have been quite a few people who have left the place since they arrived. He wasn't sure if he should be envious or not but he still had his family here. Regardless, he kept looking downward and gave a small sigh.]

....But you are too kind. I'm not sure if I could have asked for a better family myself.

And I share the sentiment, Freminet.

[Another squeeze to his shoulders, and if Freminet will allow it, a quick hug. If not, that's ok too.]

So! Do you have any other major plans for your birthday? If not, Lynette and I could treat you to dinner this evening for a birthday meal. I'm sure I can even convince Father to join us!

[scooba]

[With that, he shook his head]

No, I don't. If anything, I was planning on spending some time in the ocean just thinking to myself.

[Lyney hums, before nodding.]

Well, then how about this; you spend the afternoon diving, and then this evening we can treat you to a birthday dinner? Do you think you'd be up for that?

[scooba]

That sounds good.

[Pause]

....Thank you for everything. The present and always helping me back home.

[spectacleofphantasmagoria]

[Lyney smiles warmly at that, gently pulling Freminet in for another hug.]

You're very much welcome, Freminet. Happy birthday.
