And I’m grateful you’d have the chance to live several lifetimes and find your way into my life.

[ Yeah yeah… She knows it’s his birthday, but she doesn’t want to conceal her gratitude. There’s something about him that she never would have expected and it’s lovely. ]

Thank you for letting me whisk you away for your birthday.

[ She adds a dramatic flair to the word whisk, laughing a bit. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Of course.

[ He smiles at her brightly, and finds himself very close to her. ]

If anyone could whisk me away, it's you.

[ She is physically very strong, after all. ]

[unsever]

Well, I am very persuasive.

[ She could also probably put him in a magical bubble and drag him along if she really wanted. But, she'd rather have his consent.

And then he's close by and any worries she'd had about him not being thrilled about her kind of hogging him melts away. ]

Any birthday wishes I can grant?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Couldn't wish for more.

[ He looks out at the stars for a bit, and back at Julia. ]

And if I did, it'd be that we could do this at home. At your home, in New York.

[ And she can't grant him that. He isn't expecting it. But these are the things he wants; he's a simple man and he couldn't be happier without several miracles happening. ]

[unsever]

[ There’d even be a chance he could meet the Baba Yaga if he came to the penthouse she shares with the others in New York. Quite an upgrade from her loft, even if the strings are somewhat terrifying. It really was the status quo these days back home. ]

Well, hopefully we’ll be able to do that someday. Or find a loophole to manage something similar here.

[ She remembered physically being able to walk through a memory when she’d first arrived. Something like that could mean a lot now that she has a reason to want it. ]

But until then, we’ll just have to keep being creative.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Honestly, it's alright if he has to meet the Baba Yaga, or really, anyone. He'd just like to be in New York again. ]

Yes. I'll just keep hoping for time with the people I care for, in the meantime.

[ And Julia's increasingly taking more and more of that time for him, as he grows to care for her more and more. ]

And.

Maybe for things to stay quiet.

[unsever]

I think spending time with the people you care about is going to be a lot easier to manage than things staying quiet. [ Because the second the ‘q’ word comes out, this place seems to like to get crazy. ]

I’ll take just the next few days being uneventful. Make sure you have a good, relaxing time.

[ Because while she didn’t know of anything on the horizon, the park was always hit or miss. And she had no plans of doing any swimming or going out and about into the woods looking for excitement or a fight. ]
