[man, Sayori knows exactly how to lure in a Dave: pique his admittedly very easy to pique curiosity. and also, it's not like he was gonna say no to her.]
[after glancing at his bracer, he slinks out of whatever dark corner he was chilling in (lbr, he gave up on sitting through class several loops ago), and wanders over to the shrines.]
Hey, Sa — [SUDDENLY, BIRTHDAY.]
[Dave looks genuinely shocked for a split second, for ... a number of reasons. one, he's surprised someone else was keeping track of the days — ever since he blew up on an appropriately themed slab of god tier, tracking seconds as they tick by has kind of come naturally to him — and two, at least partly due to one, he'd been entirely expecting to turn 18 without any fanfare at all.]
[not that he's all that used to much fanfare to begin with. but Dave's reaction here is likely awfully similar to the expression he wore the first time he opened up a box from John, only to find the pair of sunglasses that are now sitting on his face. that is to say — a very impressive smile is very blatantly, very easily, cracking through.]
You remembered. [he is going to treasure that card — it's going up on the wall of his room the second he gets a chance, the place where all the things from his friends that he loves go. well ... they either go on the wall or they get pickled.]
I, uh. [he looks very slightly bashful!!!] Thanks, Sayori. A sick rhyme's literally the best thing you could've given me.
IM STILL CRY
