[ She can't help but laugh a little bit in a way that could only be described as something only a villain can do. Ah, she missed this banter too much. She loves him so much and seeing his expression like that. ]

Mm, yeah, that's fine. You owe me a birthday present and a Christmas one, okay? So don't forget that, either. I'm finally eighteen, so that makes me older than you, huh.

[ It seems that she just wants to be spoiled, just a little bit. She knows it's selfish, but she's always been like that. And it's made even more obvious as she grabs his hands in her own. Of course, she's very much aware that doing this will count as moonlacing, but hey, it's to her benefit, so win-win. ]

We can go to Caihong, then. Or maybe spend some time at the arcade where I'll absolutely kick your ass in all the games.

[ But then he asks her if she's celebrated with anyone and for a moment, her expression falters for a second before she shakes it off. ]

Yeah, I did. With a few people. Speaking of which, you should stay with us. You haven't found a place to stay yet, right? I'm sure my roommate would be OK with you staying with us. . . ah, but there's only two rooms and I'm taking one while he's taking the other. But you can sleep with me, if you want. I don't mind.
