It's Edgar's birthday.

[edgar_roni]

Why thank you, Mun. And what a lovely day it is, no? The wind is right, the air is warm, and the ladies are out and about. It truly is quite the happy birthday...

[He smirks thoughtfully and rubs the pads of his index and thumb together.]

Also, do note Sabin and I are not much older than you. I am not old -- I don't feel it, anyway -- and I certainly don't see it as debilitating. You ought to look at things differently. Youth is the gift of nature, but age? It's a work of art.

[aria_di_celes]

It's good to see that you're in such good spirits.

[Not everyone ages so gracefully.]

You'll need it when some of the others remember what day it is.

[ Particularly a certain hyperactive young artist.]

[edgar_roni]

[Oh, what's this? Celes being kind to him? It must be -- oh, yes, yes it is.]

I am, now that you're here.

[Grin.]

Why wouldn't I be in such a mood?

[Don't jinx it, Celes.]

[aria_di_celes]

[It only happens once a year.]

Well, not all men of your maturity handle it quite so well. It's admirable really.

[You probably thought you'd be getting this kind of thing from Locke, but it's hard to resist giving him a hard time.]

[edgar_roni]

[Oh, you get a pass Celes. If this was between him and Locke, they'd have gotten into blows by now. Or, at the very least, calling each other lech and thief and bringing up every embarrassing detail possible.]

Admirable you say?

[lockpick]

Find any grey hairs yet?

[...Yes, Locke, depending on the icon, you are one to talk.]

[edgar_roni]

Only blond, my friend. Mayhaps you ought to check the items you've pilfered from the castle.

[Smart-ass.]

[lockpick]

[Pilfered? Such slander. Just what do you take him for?]

But senile already, such a shame! I'll have to remind you that I have done no such thing.

[Today.]

[edgar_roni]

[A thief, if you really wanna know.]

Today.

[Senile? No. Just wiser.]

[ethereal_earth]

Happy birthday, Edgar.

[edgar_roni]

Why thank you, Terra dear. This old soul appreciates you.

[Unlike a thieving couple that shall remain nameless...]

[ethereal_earth]

You're not that old.

[Terra is always nice, even if you still confuse the hell out of her, Edgar.]

[rainbowbrush]

Hahahaha! You're old!

[You knew it was coming, Edgar.]

[edgar_roni]

And you're still a child.

[He knew it was coming, yes, and it doesn't soften the blow.]

[rainbowbrush]

I am not! I keep telling you, I'm eleven! Don't be so mean and crotchety just because you're jealous of my youthful beauty and promise!

[warring_triad]

Y'know, that's one thing I never understood. You goody-goods cling to life like ticks and yet celebrate each year when you're one year closer to death.

You people are just deluding yourself. You should just give up and embrace oblivion~!

[edgar_roni]

You sound surprised, Palazzo. You don't value life or your time spent with others -- of course you'd never understand.

[Delusions or no, Edgar far prefers the simple pleasures of life and love more than the alternative.]

[sabin_rene]

I doubt being old will stop you from being friendly with the ladies.

[edgar_roni]

Oh, no. Never.

[He laughs because, well, it's true. Edgar'd be old and in the gray and still flirting with and complimenting women left and right.]

You'll be right there with me.

[Remember, you might be the younger one, but it's still your birthday too.]

[sabin_rene]

[He never did care much for birthdays. >:P]

I know.

[But at least he'll be like his master.]

[andrarrrgynous]

So how old are you anyway?

[edgar_roni]

Wouldn't you like to know.

[Really, Faris. Really? He's almost insulted.]

[andrarrrgynous]

[Insulted that she doesn't know already, or that she'd ask?]

Come on, I think I deserve t' know.

[desertdaggers]

Must be the pauldrons dragging your shoulders down, then. [grinning]

I'm a touch late, I suppose, but happy birthday anyway.

[edgar_roni]

They are not heavy.

[Edgar almost snorts indignantly but refrains, as he's trying to give off some hauteur here.]

But thank you, Hawk.

[desertdaggers]

Ahhh, you just don't notice, since you've worn them so long!

You're welcome. Planning anything special, or have you already done it?
