Chapter 2.14: July 23, 2017, to July 24, 2017
"I'm still angry with you for not answering."
"You wound me, my princess. I told you; my phone's dysfunctional. I should be angry with you for calling me just before midnight instead of sleeping."
"I didn't want you to miss my birthday, even if you seemed determined to."
"Eru, I already explained to you that I'm having problems with communicating and all."
"Yeah, I know. Sorry. I know it's not your fault. It's just hard, all right?"
"Happy birthday, Eru."
"You already greeted me. Besides, it's barely my birthday anymore."
"Happy birthday, anyway. Does a birthday lose its magic after it's passed?"
"I suppose not. Treat every day like it's magical, yeah?"
"By all means. How was dinner? I'm sorry I couldn't have been there."
"All right. It was a bit too fancy and uptight for my tastes."
"Was the food at least good?"
"I think it was supposed to be, but I couldn't tell. It was pretty tasteless, and, honestly, that one sushi restaurant we tried was better. But the server did give me his number."
"If I could return to shred him to bits with my katana, I would. Do me a favor and do it for me?"
"No!"
"Are you planning on cheating on me, then?"
"Of course not, Kenny! I threw away his number. What do you take me for?"
"A completely loyal, faithful—"
"Rhetorical, Kenny. It was a rhetorical question. You're an author; you should know that."
"If you say so. Isn't it late now? You should probably get some sleep, Avatar."
"I prefer 'princess' over that nickname, thank you very much."
"You do realize that she is, indeed, a princess, yeah?"
"Fine, fine. And, yeah, I'm really tired now. But I want to talk to you."
"No, Eru. You need to rest, my princess. I'll be here the next time you need me."
"Will you really? I don't think you can save me from wherever you are right now."
"I'll always save you, as long as you need me."
"All right. I'm going to sleep now. Love you, Kenny."
"I love you, Eru."
"By the way…did I tell…you about the birthday card I…got from Leo…"
"G'night, Eru."
