August 8th

[So it's Laslow's birthday.

Yay.

He finds a park in Edge and just sort of. Flops on the nearest bench after work at a nearby club where he dances. There's still some kids playing, but they're far enough that Laslow can stare into the middle distance and not be considered a creep]

Some birthday.

[Yuffie shrugs.]

No reason really. I was in the area and you seemed.... [Her tone drags out the word.] Not happy.

[flirtatioustea]

Well, I am. Is that why you frightened me?

[thegreatninja]

I didn't think it'd actually scare you.

[Her tone is flat before breaking into a grin.]

The look on your face was pretty cute though.

[flirtatioustea]

[...oh. She's flirting?

Laslow smiles a little. He promised Keaton he wouldn't, and he won't, but still]

If panic and terror is cute, I'm afraid to find out what you think is handsome.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie laughs.]

Why not smile a little more for me and we'll find out?

[flirtatioustea]

Ah, I'm sorry miss, but I'm taken.

[Technically true, given what he promised Keaton.]

[thegreatninja]

[Rolls her eyes.]

Is that a reason not to smile?

[Yuffie flirts but never seriously. It's just fun and this guys is bordering between fun and boring. If she wants someone to take things literally she'd go bug Vinney.]

[flirtatioustea]

No, but it is a reason to warn you that your flirting won't go anywhere.

[thegreatninja]

Awww, aren't you sweet.

[He certainly thinks highly of himself, which is something Yuffie can related too.]

I'm too cute for you anyway.

[flirtatioustea]

[He chuckles]

Too young, certainly.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie raises an eyebrow.]

Oh? How old are you?

[He looks as if he's about her age.]

[flirtatioustea]

Twenty-five as of today.

[Thank you, time travel shenanigans]

[thegreatninja]

SO as of today you're six years older than me. As of this November you'll only be five. That isn't much of a difference.

[Wait.]

It's your birthday?

[flirtatioustea]

[He nods]

Assuming this world has the same calendar as mine, yes.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie can already tell that he's the type of person who over thinks everything.]

You think way to much, you know that?

[flirtatioustea]

That's the first time I've ever been told that.

[thegreatninja]

Maybe to your face.

[flirtatioustea]

Trust me, there are few things people won't say to my face.

[thegreatninja]

Tell yourself whatever makes you happy.

[Yuffie stands and waves a hand at him.]

Well, I'm bored.

[So she's gonna head out.]
