[Lust thought about sending individual thank yous, but that seemed like a great deal of work. And she's noticed that it's common to draw attention to these sorts of things. So she decides to simply make a general address.]

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the kind...birthday acknowledgements.

[She really isn't sure what else to call the gifts and cards and words. It's all been a bit overwhelming.]

I'd forgotten it had come around again. It's only my second one.

I suppose I should get used to celebrating it. Or at least make an effort to remember the date next year.

Ah, you got your cake? I hope it's good! Scar said you like chocolate, so that's what I went with. Sorry I couldn't be there in person, I'm taking a break from traveling for a while.

[a_sin_for_him]

I did, thank you. It's very good.

That's quite alright, I don't blame you. Travel takes its toll.

[soundmind]

Yeah, and with that whole...turning into Pokemon thing and people leaving, I just had enough.

[...]

Ah, I know if Scar finds out he's going to ask, so just to let him know--yes, my friend came back with me, I'm not alone.

[a_sin_for_him]

That was an unfortunate week. I do appreciate my human body all the more, though.

I'll let him know, he'll be glad to hear it.

[soundmind]

Mm, I don't want him to worry, and he told me you two got a cottage together recently so I think it's safe to say you'd know if he's around first.

[Maka don't tease your homuncumom.]

I'd like to visit you both there sometime, if you're not busy. I can introduce you to Ken, too, since Scar already met him.

[a_sin_for_him]

Something like that. I rent a place in Violet. We aren't there right now, though.

Who's Ken?

[soundmind]

It's okay, I won't be traveling for a while anyway, even with my Alakazam.

[Her Alakazam being incredibly grouchy notwithstanding anyway.]

Kaneki Ken, he's someone I met back in February. He's the one that gave me the idea to form the book club. [That is super important to her.]

[a_sin_for_him]

I see.

I don't think I know this Ken....

[soundmind]

Then, I'll definitely have to introduce you, won't I?

I've been hoping to have another book club meeting when things get settled down, you two can meet each other properly there.

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes, you will.

I'd like to meet this young man.

[soundmind]

He's very kind and gentle, I think you'll like him.

[If she doesn't it's whatever, friends can't all get along with each other.]

He can be a little nervous, though. Meeting Scar the first time might have scared him.

[a_sin_for_him]

Meeting Scar for the first time frightens most people, he's a large and imposing man.

[soundmind]

Oh, he didn't scare me.

[...]

Well, he had just gotten whacked in the head during a storm and was refusing help, but that's beside the point.

[a_sin_for_him]

That's Scar.

[soundmind]

Hehe, yeah, it is. Wouldn't be Scar if he didn't act like a stubborn old dad.

[Man was the word Maka intended to use, but dad came out instead.

Oh well, it fits too.]

[a_sin_for_him]

I find it endearing.

At times.
