I'm experimenting. [ he is only eating sweets to stimulate his brain. what's so wrong with that? ] Not that it's any of your business.

[ but on that note, he quiets for a moment before he responds with a lopsided shrug, his tone indifferent. ]

Thanks. You didn't have to go through all the trouble. It isn't a day I celebrate. [ —anymore. not since suguru left. not since he figured it was about time he gave up the fun lil charade of acting like someone normal and not who he is — who he's meant to be. ]

[gorb]

Whatever.

( To both statements. He doesn't really know why he went to all the effort, only there's so little of normality he can cling to. )

I'm surprised you didn't tell your duchess. Wait, do they even do birthdays?

[rikugan]

Why would I tell her? [ it'd just be a hassle. ]

Did you go around telling the fae your birthday?

[gorb]

I don't have a patroness, idiot.

( Also as charming as he has been he's still mostly moody. )

[rikugan]

Just because she's my patroness doesn't mean I have to tell her everything about myself. We're on a mission, remember?

[ he only needed to connect with her enough for her to take him under her noble wing. ]

[gorb]

And if she gave you gifts we could pawn them later for resources.

( He shrugs, not quite caring that it sounds shrewd. )

I'd milk it more if I were you.

[rikugan]

That's what I've been doing. [ a dismissive wave of his hand. ]

But enough about her. [ they have something more important to discuss. ] You've noticed them too, haven't you? [ there have been some pretty suspicious fae around. ] I don't think they're with Castor, but they can't be from here. [ he has been keeping an Eye™ on them, that's for sure. ]

From what I can tell, they're on a mission too.

[gorb]

Some of them aren't very good at it.

( A mutter, he's had a fair few run-ins with those strange fae himself. He hasn't been very level headed about it either. Gojo doesn't need to know that. )

Do you think theirs might jeopardise ours?
