Somewhere around 2/28 to 3/1

I would like everyone to join me in wishing a very happy birthday to Liminal Space's best six-and-a-half year old, Takashi Shirogane!

Happy birthday, dude. If I could make things, I'd make you a cake.

[tookashirototheknee]

Yup. Exactly.

[rustyhonesty]

Uh... what?

[Guess who has no idea what a Leap Year is.]

[vrepit_no]

[Faintly]

Fine... I'm. Fine. Uh. Thanks? I think???

[tookashirototheknee]

What?

[The picture of innocence, this boy.]

[reallymean]

...Do all humans get that tall that quickly?

[There's muzzy puzzlement in Allura's mental voice. This must be some sort of human joke.]

You're welcome to use the kitchen in the Castle, if you'd like. There should be...food.

[Of some sort. She's just going to go back to sleep now and hope nothing burns down.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Sorry, Shiro, he's still kind of amused.]]

At least they're only one day a year. And well meaning, as jokes go.

[vrepit_no]

Both not long enough and far, far too long, troublemaker.

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, right. You wouldn't know Leap Year. The way the calendar works back at home, every four years we have to add a day to the year, because of how the earth orbits the sun. Shiro was born on that day, so technically, he only has a birthday every four years.

[vrepit_no]

Oh. You think they'll stop today. That's. That's kind of you.

[tookashirototheknee]

Oh, er, no. Shiro was born on Leap Day, which is a day that's added to Earth's calendar every four years, because Earth's orbit is just a tiny bit longer than the calendar allows.

So technically, Shiro's birthday is only once every four years.

[triggerhappytraitor]

It comes up that often?

[vrepit_no]

[softly, like he's not meaning to broadcast this one either]

You've got to be kidding me...

private, double protected

[claudiometer]

Dude, I'm not pursuing anything and also you're way too taken for my tastes, but I'm not blind. You're welcome.

And seriously, happy birthday.

[claudiometer]

Definitely gotta take your word on that one, then.

[vrepit_no]

...Twenty six. I'm twenty six. It's a weird thing to keep the calendar in line, it doesn't actually mean anything except that people get to make jokes every year.

[vrepit_no]

[Oh dear sweet stars and planets. Gentle. Yeah.]

...Go back to sleep, Princess. We'll explain when you wake up.

[tookashirototheknee]

No? I mean... am I not allowed to think my fiance's hot?

[He probably should have privated that....]

[starshaper]

[ is he ready for something greedy and more teasing to follow that? ]

So, are you going to have six cakes with twenty layers on them? Twenty cakes with six layers on them? Twenty six or twenty nine cakes with two layers on them? Half of the layers can be one thing and the other half is something else?

[vrepit_no]

I am delegating every explanation to you, mister. This is your fault, you fix it. [Dry humor, honest.]

[tookashirototheknee]

Hey, you give me a network, I'm going to make shitposts.

... am I sleeping on Pidge's floor tonight?

[tookashirototheknee]

Hey, at least this explanation is something I'm good at!

[loyalrebel]

....you must count time very differently in the future.

[verdeleonessa]

Your what?

[vrepit_no]

Uh...? I. Really don't know, to be honest. I am the last person who should go anywhere near a kitchen with intent to cook.

[verdeleonessa]

Technically, he's six and half.
