I can do that! [ She demonstrates by giving him a mock right hook to the arm. Hold onto that steering wheel, Majima. ] Same rules apply, right? No aiming for the face!
[ She has some honor in her fist fighting... mostly because bruised arms and legs can be hidden but missing teeth and bleeding noses is when teachers get called in. ]
[ Emphatically, N O. Nothing ruins the appetite faster than math lessons, in her opinion. ]
I just rounded up, alright? Old people's ages all run into each other anyways and you forget 'cause you don't celebrate birthdays properly. When's your birthday? What flavor cake are you getting? How're you going to fit all those candles on there?
My brithday's none of your business. There's no cake involved, that's for sure.
[so fine, i guess, she's right, adults don't celebrate right and thats FINE with him because there's nothing to celebrate, anyway womanlaughingaloneswithsalad.emote]
[but she looks?? sad??? she's the one who was saying old people don't celebrate right and he was just confirming. this isn't sad??? he didn't think so?]
[ That's not something she ever thinks of denying, but just because her primary motivation is cake, doesn't mean she doesn't want to celebrate Majima's birthday either. ]
Birthday cake is the best flavor cake! I can't beat you up knowing you've never had birthday cake! It's too sad! Your existence is too sad! What sort of life is it without birthday cake?
[he doesn't know why he suddenly feels defensive or why this girl suddenly cares so much about his stupid birthday. Back at the orphanage they'd tried not to make a huge deal out of anyone's birthday since some kids they didn't know for sure about. There was always cake but it stopped mattering after awhile.]
[ That's the sort of pathetic existence Mafuyu is ignorant about and wishes for nobody. Especially somebody who has had birthday cake before and has forgotten the joy of it to the point of being able to say something blasphemous like "It's not a big deal."
She might be trying to strangle him right now with his own seat belt. ]
It's a big deal! There's sprinkles!! YOU GET YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON A CAKE WITH RED ICING!!!
The fact that you're just accepting defeat like that ticks me off!
[ Good thing they stopped, because Mafuyu's all but trying to stand in her seat, sitting up so fast that the seat belt catches and keeps her bound, half turned and with one knee on the seat. ]
[ And she's fully prepared to, pounding her fists on her knees and shouting at the top of her lungs about birthdays because of course. ]
Birthdays are special! People come together to be with you, they light a cake on fire just for you, and they give you things they bought while thinking of you! It's the one day, just for you, 'cause you're special to them! Appreciate that a little! Maybe that's how it is for you on all the other days of the year, but it's important to me because not every day is like that!
