[The feed clicks on that Sunday with a thoughtful looking Syre, a cup of juice on the table beside her.]

I've a question for you all, if it would not trouble you to ask. [Here she is silent a moment, taking a sip of her drink before continuing.] And do pardon the interruptions -- I've only just risen from my sleep, you see.

Anyway, back to my point... I have been wondering for a while about the concept of time here in Luceti. I notice that the hours here are not nearly as short, but there are also not as many of them in a day.

What I mean to say is... how exactly does time differ in this world from my own? Because, if the date on this journal is to be believed, today marks the anniversary of my coming into existence.

[Another pause, another sip of her juice, and then she continues again.] To be plain, it would be my birthday today.

... I suppose this means I'll need to make the proper arrangements for some sort of celebration, even if it is for myself.

[And with that (and a faint, amused smile), she shuts off the feed.]

[Not too long after that post, Syre is out and about in the village, bag in hand as she's perusing the shops. A few pastries here, some vegetables there -- she's going to be celebrating with a bit of dinner tonight.]

[Later on, she'll be at the library, looking around for a few cookbooks -- because what are ingredients without something to put them into? She's not going for anything horribly fancy, but if something catches her eye, she'll be copying it down.]

I'm sure I will. [Syre smiles, brings her spoon to her lips and tastes it...]

[...before beginning to empty the bowl with slow spoonfuls that steadily increase in frequency that it's a miracle she hasn't just picked up the bowl and swallowed it entirely.]

[She certainly seems to be enjoying herself!]

[ Helios smiles as he eats, trying not to stare or otherwise make things awkward. ] You like it then? I-I probably should have added a bit more salt...

[ But it was still very delicious, the meat nice and tender so that it almost melted in his mouth. It was just like how his mother used to make it. He'll sigh contentedly as he leans back in his seat. ] I haven't had stew in ages.

[Syre looks up as though to say something, but then realizes that she's still got a mouthful of stew. So, after a quick swallow and wiping her mouth with a napkin, she'll reply.]

Oh Gods, it is amazing. Really, Helios, you don't give yourself enough credit!

[And just to prove her point, she's (finally) going to just pick up her bowl and empty it of its contents all at once. She's in her house, manners can take the backseat for once.]

[ Helios' face goes red at the compliment. He smiles and sheepishly nods his head. ] O-Oh, no, it-it's nothing really. I-I've made this so many t-times before. Stew is, um, terribly easy to make after all.

[ Helios laughs a little and mimics the action. Because why not? ] But I'm very happy that you liked it.

[Syre peers over the edge of the bowl with playfully narrowed eyes, putting the now-empty dish down before speaking.] One of these days, I'm going to hear you accept a compliment without fuss. One day!

[She laughs warmly.]

[ Helios hunches and laughs at that. He puts his own bowl down and smiles. One day Syre, one day. Helios is not a modest man. His face might color slightly at the playful, harmless, threat. ] Would you like seconds? I made plenty.

[It takes all of her self control to not shout 'YES!' at the offer. Instead, she gently nudges her bowl over to him, smiling unabashedly.]

Yes, please!
