Hiking with my grandfather went very well. Despite his age, we were able to make good time climbing one of the smaller mountains in the range. It started raining toward the end of our hike; the bath afterward was much appreciated.

After speaking with him, I feel that I have reached some stable ground for myself too.

My mother is cross that I am unwilling to trade shifts to get my birthday off as well. At my age, is that really necessary? I do not even like cake.

What about a nice birthday pie?

[tezukamarilyn]

Birthday fruit salad?

[notafossil]

With or without marshmallows?

[tezukamarilyn]

Without.

Yogurt is okay. Nuts as well.

[notafossil]

Any fruits you don't want in it?

[tezukamarilyn]

I can eat all fruit.

[notafossil]

Seiichi and I will see what's in season, then.

[theprodigalbuchou]

I find I don't trust people who do not enjoy a slice of cake from time to time...

[tezukamarilyn]

I can eat cake. I don't enjoy it.

[theprodigalbuchou]

And I said enjoy, not eat.

[tezukamarilyn]

If you like, I can bring home a cake for you and Genichirou to enjoy for me.

[theprodigalbuchou]

And that would defeat the purpose. No, you enjoy your fruit salad, Kunimitsu.

[tezukamarilyn]

If my fruit salad will cause distress, I do not want it.

I am working anyway.

[theprodigalbuchou]

Don't be silly. How can a fruit salad cause distress?

[tezukamarilyn]

Fruit salad is causing you to question your trust in others. Just to be safe, we can have cake as well.

[theprodigalbuchou]

Originally I was joking.

[tezukamarilyn]

Aa.

[theprodigalbuchou]

Yes.

[lepeintredusade]

Your grandfather is as impressive as always.

And stable ground you say? ^_^ Care to elaborate?

Well, Tezuka. Birthdays are special days no matter what age you are. Typically they are days people endeavour to save from such things as work so that they might spend the day with family, friends and loved ones to celebrate the day of that person's birth and their life. ^_^ Of course she was cross with you! You do not need to eat cake to enjoy a special day with those special people in your life, do you?

[tezukamarilyn]

Yes.

I said what I meant.

It is very difficult to take time off of work. If it is an important day for me, then should I not be able to schedule festivities for whenever I please? ...I suppose I will visit her next week.

[lepeintredusade]

You're being difficult. I know what you said, I... Oh, nevermind.

[tezukamarilyn]

I apologize for being difficult.
