[there's a short pause after the feed clicks on before a voice can be heard; when she does begin to speak, her voice sounds thoughtful, almost sentimental.]

I didn't think I would grow older while I was still here. That is, we grow older each day, but I trust you all catch my meaning regardless. It's a strange thing, to gain a year so far from home.

[a pause.]

I don't wish for a celebration or any gifts, but one thing I would enjoy is to hear stories. Legends or fables from your world, or experiences that you yourself have had. I find this sort of thing fascinating, truly. I would be happy to reciprocate as well.

Regardless, thank you all for your time.

[she opens her mouth to respond but pauses, frowning.

After a moment more she shakes her head]

I - think it did, but I honestly did not pay it much attention. It . . . stopped being much of a concern.

[bloodbiter]

Is everything alright?

[noprophecies]

[she shakes her head]

I am fine, it is just not something I've ever been asked before.

[bloodbiter]

I see.

[glancing towards the bottle of scotch]

I hope that didn't cost too much. The wine, too... I ought to do something to repay you.

[noprophecies]

It is not necessary, dear. It was my treat.

[bloodbiter]

Necessary or not, I insist.

[noprophecies]

I insist that you don't insist.

[bloodbiter]

I'm afraid that I insisted first.

[noprophecies]

And I said it is not necessary.

[bloodbiter]

It is my birthday, is it not?

[noprophecies]

Yes, and?

[bloodbiter]

Shouldn't my wishes take precedence?

[noprophecies]

Not this one, no.
