So, it's September already, which means my birthday is coming up!

I mean, it's technically February back home, but I'm not gonna complain about celebrating my birthday early. Besides, that seems like way too complicated math to try and figure out what it should be.

[It actually is not that complicated. It's the 28th of February where he's from. C'mon Jojo...]

[But then again, this is the guy who struggled at determining the age of someone who was a baby 50 years ago...]

Anyway, I'm gonna be nineteen on the 27th. Just to give you guys the heads up. You know. [He grins.] In case you wanna get me something.

[Joseph braces himself even if he refuses to actually flinch, but then Ino's patting him on the head and... Joseph frowns.]

How come you don't ever do things like this to other people?

[ino]

How do you know I don't?

[nextlineis]

[He gives her a look because, okay. He's stupid. But he's not that stupid.]

Call it a lucky guess.

[ino]

[ She puts her hands on her hips ]

You're the only one who's annoying enough to justify that type of behavior. If Naruto were here, he'd have it ten times worse.

[nextlineis]

Then I wish he was here to drive you nuts.

[ino]

I haven't seen anyone from my world in years, so chances aren't high. Looks like you're stuck with the job.

[nextlineis]

This is bullshit. I want it known that I don't like it.

[Actually that second statement is bullshit. Joseph likes attention, negative or otherwise.]

[ino]

[ Draws a single tear down her face. Sure you don't, Jojo, sure you don't. ]

[nextlineis]

[He makes a face and shakes his head.]

Go back to your ship.

[ino]

[ Well, if there was one way to guarantee her NOT doing that ... ]

Oh? Now you think you can order me around, too?

[nextlineis]

You're the captain, aren't you? You're supposed to be on your ship in case your crew needs you.

[ino]

You think I can't take care of things from wherever I am?

[nextlineis]

[A long pause.]

There's no right way to answer that, is there?

[ino]

The answer is yes, I can absolutely do that, so there's no need to worry about it.

[nextlineis]

...Sure, we can go with that.

[He starts to grin.]

[ino]

We'd better.

[ Or else ... Bad things. ]

[nextlineis]

So are you done threatening to kick my ass or should I keep five feet between us at all times?
