[ Riku's in a different kitchen than usual tonight -- one that doesn't get as much traffic as the main one -- standing at the counter and leaning over a cookbook. She seems rather out of her element. Her hair's tied back in a ponytail and she's wearing an apron, for one thing. Said apron is also splattered with cake batter, and one side of her face is smudged with it. Whatever the batter was made for is nowhere in sight, having been thrown into the garbage; a fitting end for such a disaster.

There is, however, a number of bowls soaking in the sink, and a mixer that's waiting to be cleaned.

... Maybe she should just find someone to help. ]

[laughs.]

Want a hand, then? What are you making?

[dawnrise]

[makes a face.]

It started off as cake.

[seasides]

What for?

[has actually forgotten the fact that his birthday is soon.]

[dawnrise]

[how do you people do this?]

It's February.

[seasides]

[.....blinkblink. trying to think of the significance.]

[dawnrise]

[leans against the counter. wow, Kai.]

I'm getting married.

[seasides]

[:|]

My little girl's all grown up~.

[dawnrise]

[throws a dish towel at him.]

[seasides]

[ducks.]

What am I forgetting, Riku?

[dawnrise]

[frowns a little. this is weird.]

Birthdays.

[seasides]

[blinkblink- OH MY GOD FACEPALM.]

[dawnrise]

[it's about time.]

Remember now?

[seasides]

I've been sixteen since about August. I guess I kind of... forgot.

[drags that hand over his face. not mentioning the mess his memories are right now.]

So I'm assuming this is for the tiny one?

[dawnrise]

[wishes she knew when, but just nods. go on, tell and make her fuss some more.]

I was going to ask if you wanted one too, but I had to explain his birthday to him earlier.

[seasides]

[he's worked it out, but he's not telling that either.]

That sucks.

[dawnrise]

...yeah. But now he knows.

[and she has to make a caaake.]

[seasides]

Good.

[headtilt.]

So, want some help?

[dawnrise]

[... does the mess tell you anything, Kai? she still has chocolate on her face, for crying out loud.]

[seasides]

[yes, yes it does. heads on over, pointing at the spot the chocolate's on.]

Alright. What exactly are we making? Besides cake.

[dawnrise]

What do you mean?

[reaches up to feel her face-- oh wtf how long has that been there.]

[seasides]

What kind of cake are we making, Riku.

[dawnrise]

[oh. uh, slides the cookbook over so he can see it. strawberry!]

I was planning on this one.

[seasides]

[looks over the recipe and grins.]

Good choice.

[dawnrise]

[smirks a bit.]

You think so?

[seasides]

Yep.

[don't doubt me, I'm a Kai~.]
