[it takes him an extra several minutes to respond, on account of him double-checking the ship's calendar. and also counting.]

where are you getting that?

Text

[child_of_bhaal]

From the standard passage of time. I keep a calendar.

[theboogieman]

[he needs to see this so-called "calendar".]

[child_of_bhaal]

Here.

[She sends him a picture of her calendar. Her very real, actual calendar. XP.]

[theboogieman]

[oh. he thinks he sees the problem.]

they don't use a 365 calendar where you're from?

Text

[child_of_bhaal]

360 days. You have 5 days just hanging there on your year? Doesn't that throw off your dates? Like solstices?

i don't know. that's just how it is. that's how long it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. one full rotation is a year.

pretty sure that's what everyone here uses.

[minutes later, he sends another message:]

I forgot we have this thing where sometimes February is one extra day long.

yours makes more sense.

[child_of_bhaal]

So that's why the earth holidays aren't being celebrated on the same days as last year. Now it makes sense.

This is going to be a mess for me next year.

Anyway, what should I get him? Something he won't just roll his eye at.

i'll draw you a calendar.

he rolls his eye at everything. overcompensating.

parchment, really nice pens? old books but I don't think he likes fiction. puzzle things. blunt force trauma weapons.

hard to shop for.
