[ it's clear from the view behind him that nico is currently sitting somewhere very high up. for those familiar with it ( and still awake, since it's nearly midnight ), they might notice he's on the roof of the communal housing. indeed, he's sitting on the edge, swinging his legs back and forth as he looks up at the stars above. for a few seconds, he's silent. were it not for the fact that the video is recording and being held up, one might think the device somehow turned on itself. but no, it's intentional, and eventually nico sighs. ]

I think I prefer the stars from home. At least they were recognizable. The constellations... I've been far away from home before _{if you could call it "home"}. But at least I knew where I was and how to get back by looking at the night sky. I know almost all the stories. The myths. Most are real, you know.

[ a shake of his head and nico seems to stare off into the distance. a small chiming of his device signals the hour: midnight. nico's brows furrow as a response. ]

I wonder where I could get some blue birthday cake.

( ooc: slams this down and skedaddles to bed. nico's birthday was the 16th and i'm late, but i wanted to get this up. tag backs will come tomorrow. )

[ gives a little nod to letha, the corners of his lips quirking. ]

Yeah. I think I will. It's... well, it's been a long time since I've had a birthday.

[burntbridges]

Well, happy birthday.

[She gives him a bright smile - she'll be peppy enough for the two of them.]

I know it must be terrible to be away from home at a time like this, but... if you need anything to cheer you up, I'm happy to provide.

[deathkid]

Um... thanks.

[ he can't quite bring himself to smile back, but he does nod again. ]

That'd be cool, I guess. I've never really thought about it before, though. To be honest, I never really had a chance to think about the things I'd want like that.

i'm sorry this is super late

[burntbridges]

Well, we've got nothing holding us back in a place like this - I'm sure we can do anything you can think of. Like - eat ice cream or play with sparklers. Or... dig up skeletons and share stories with them.

[These are the kind of things Letha thinks of as fun birthday activities. All the same level of childish fun.]

same same tbh

[deathkid]

not entirely out of the realm of nico's interests, so... ]

That... Actually sounds kinda cool.
