[BIRTHDAY STUFF]

[unfriendlygreen]

[ Ragnor has been keyed into the wards, which means a Gift Bag can appear in Nick's room. It comes with a handwritten note reading "I've been collecting things I thought you might like, I hope at least some land as intended. Happy Birthday, R.F." ]

[extent]

( maybe he feels like showing off a little, because nick's response comes in the form of a fire message a few hours later, in his usual messy scrawl: )

I'm taking this as permission to day drink.
Thanks for everything,
N x

PS. I'm going to paint one of the figures green

[unfriendlygreen]

[ he gets a fire message in return, written in super fancy cursive. ]

I was not aware you needed my permission to day drink.

This Changes Everything.

No drinking before breakfast.

[extent]

IF I CANT READ YOUR MESSAGE I DONT HAVE TO LISTEN TO ITS RULES
p.s. who eats breakfast
p.p.s. i'm out of paper

[unfriendlygreen]

[ a new notebook appears in the same spot the gift basket was. and ragnor is back to texting. ]

It's already spelled, but I expect you to be able to do it yourself by the next one.

[ a box of cookies appears too. ]

Breakfast.

[extent]

its my birthday dont give me more work
if ur still handing out presents send over expensive wine so i can eat these in the bath

(that is a joke stop sending me things but also i appreciate it but also stop)

[unfriendlygreen]

Last one, I promise.

[ a bottle of wine and one of those fancy charcuterie boards, followed by a second text ]

cy loves those. he's particularly obnoxious about the grapes.

[ he guesses if he turns the conversation back on himself then nick will be less prickly about accepting the present. ]

[extent]

ur an absolute nightmare i swear to god

( but he takes it still, so it can't be that bad. there is a bit of a delay between responses, because nick was very serious about eating the cookies in the bath, particularly when paired with wine. )

hows that whole situation going anyway?

[unfriendlygreen]

Without incident. I imagine I'll have to try being casually handcuffed around someone else eventually, it wouldn't be very helpful if I can only handle it when he's in the room.

[ he knows damn well that's not what nick's asking, but he's going for the less awkward conversation. ]

[extent]

not to be dismissive of what is absolutely very important stuff for u but like
100% not what i was asking about

[unfriendlygreen]

I KNOW. I WAS DODGING.

[extent]

[unfriendlygreen]

I DID PROVIDE NEW BAIT!

[extent]

[unfriendlygreen]

I like looking at them, actually. I just like him, it's not that serious.

[extent]

im pretty sure someone gave u some very gr8 advice along those exact lines actually
someone very smart + intelligent + fantastic at advice + totally handsome w a great personality

[unfriendlygreen]

You have known me long enough to be aware I do not Enjoy Things.

[extent]

the power is in ur hands
it's not the worst thing in the world u know, having a feeling

[unfriendlygreen]

it's new and i have no idea of what to do with it.

[extent]

u don't have to do anything with it
just have ur crush and have fun + like enjoy how it makes u feel or whatever u don't even have to tell him
it's that easy trust

[unfriendlygreen]

I told him I liked him as soon as I realized I did. I'm not a child.

[extent]

what like right away
u just told him?
thats so fucking weird

[unfriendlygreen]

I kissed him too.

[extent]

did u feel like u were gonna break out in hives?

[unfriendlygreen]

YES. Is that normal?
