☆ one. ( amber / action )

amber.

[ On the amber feed today, there seems to be a rather petite little girl, casually wearing her magical girl outfit that is practically trademarked for her. In the background seems to be Chime's shop, which she seems to reveal with a rather pleasant, yet timid smile. ]

[ Gil-kun's ]

[ It makes no sense to her, but she'll help out as much as she can. Besides, this way she can repay her debt towards him. But before she's able to turn it off— ]

Hi there, everyone, Ruby-san here! ☆ Most of you probably don't think that today's a very important day because you guys don't have calendars or silly things like that, but do not underestimate the power of the Kaleidostick ☆

You see, by the power of Love, Magic, and Justice -- along with some Magical Ruby fortunetelling, I have found out that today is Illya-san's birthday!

[ Ruby's fortunetelling is always on point, so she's never wrong. But at those words, there seems to come a yelp of surprise from Illya's end-- ]

[ The small Kaleidostick just laughs at Illya's panic as it gets a closeup, swinging cheerfully. ]

Ehe, don't underestimate the power of Ruby-san's fortunetelling. So, in order to celebrate Illya-san's birthday, please help out as much as you can ☆

[ Is Ruby telling the truth...? It is a mystery. ]

action.

[ After all is said and done, Illya decides to go foraging for food. Only to find out that there's a huge bug in the way, trying to take the food from the food altar. This time, Illya has no plans on running away. She's not going to run away this time instead firing right in front of it (without hitting the berries) to attempt to make it shoo away. ]

Feuer!

[ YES, WE GONNA SHOOT THIS BEETLE AWAY or kill it because we're not gonna let you get your way. Feel free to either A) assist B) get shot if the beetle dodges... ]

Your friend's item? [ She has been considering the flour so she can surprise Shirou with a new ingredient, but Illyasviel seems to require assistance. She doesn't suspect it's something that belongs to Gilgamesh because she said he wasn't her friend.

Her expression is one of surprise at that announcement. Though birthdays aren't celebrated the same in her time, unless they are the year of the rite of passage to adulthood, they lack significance. ]

Today is your birthday? How old are you, Illyasviel?

Well, it'd be weird if I just called him an acquaintance for something like this, right..?

[ Well, she's advertising. She got Ruby's help on what to say (a little) and decided to move Gil from "not really a friend" status to "somewhat of a friend" status. ]

That's what Ruby said, and Ruby's usually never wrong... But it's really weird, since I had my birthday pretty recently before this. [ Since 2wei / 3rei kind of takes place in July. ] But I guess I'd be turning twelve?

I see. You must be speaking about Gilgamesh. [She grimaces to bring him up, suddenly understanding. She also realizes she's indebted to him, but unless he calls his right to a debt, she will not give him any favors.]

Perhaps, but if you had your birthday recently, you should count your days onwards from that date? [Then it means she is only a few months older? She is no authority about this. It has never been a field of interest.]

Mm. [ She nods, rubbing the nape of her neck. ]

I just thought that it would only be right to get back the bottle, since it does belong to him...

[ Folding her arms, she manages to think. ] I guess... Would it work that way?

Does he need it for something of importance? [ Gilgamesh will argue that everything belongs to him. Maybe losing something will be good for his hoarding behavior. ]

What is your preference?

Well, he just wants it back because it is his... But it seems Ruby wants to use it?

[ She shrugs. ] I don't have a preference. But if I'm twelve, I guess I'm getting closer to being an adult.

[ That's a good thing. Right? ]

Ruby wishes to use it? [ What for? It is a staff, why would a magical wand require a potion of youth. ]

Do not hurry in wishing to grow up, Illyasviel. You should enjoy these years.

... Apparently. [ She's not sure as for what, but that's A Thing that Ruby told her. ]

Mm, I guess I should, shouldn't I?

You should try to appreciate the simplicity of childhood.

If only my life were that simple... [ IT'S NOT. She's in a war (sort of) back at home, so. ]

Hm. It could be simple in this world, Illyasviel.

... Maybe. I hope it's that simple.

Leave your concerns to me. You should enjoy your time with Shirou, instead.

Well, you should enjoy yourself with us too, Saber-san! Then I can have twice the fun!

[ Enjoy herself, really? ]

That is very thoughtful and generous of you to say, Illyasviel.

Well, it'd be unfair that you wouldn't be able to enjoy yourself, Saber-san.

[She doesn't know how, but she recalls the time sightseeing with Irisviel and her date with Rin and Shirou. Like that she means?]

I will consider your words.

[ Gil seems to have found his way to Chime's shop as well, the view from his Amber not too different from Illya's. Indeed, he's just standing a few inches away from her. ]

Yup! I'm not sure how one of my things found their way here, but since it is, I definitely want it back, so if any of you would be so kind as to lend me your stones?

[ His bright smile is blinding, even through the Amber. The Charisma of a king is not to be underestimated. ]

And it's your birthday, onee-san? I didn't know that. Do you want cake? [ It's the same one that had appeared when they fixed the sword. Gil had hidden a big chunk of the leftovers in the Gate of Babylon. It'd spoil in the summer heat otherwise, anyway. ]

Ruby-san said it is, so I guess...? I don't know if I should count it, since it was July back home. [ Second Magic bullshit makes no sense. ]

I don't really want cake, though. I think I'd get sick eating too much.

[ Gil strides into view on Illya's Amber, poking his head over her shoulder on tiptoes. ]

We'll trust Ruby-san's judgement, then. I don't really pay attention to the date. [ Heroic Spirits were timeless, after all. ] Happy birthday, onee-san! No reason not to take every opportunity to celebrate!

[ He waves his hand and... confetti fires out of the Gate like a cannon. It may or may not be real gold flakes. (It is.) ]

There isn't a calendar, soooo... [ S H R U G ]

But I guess we can celebrate.

I feel like it was only a couple of weeks, but apparently time moved quickly here in the tree, so the first batch of wine should be ready! We can have a banquet!

[ Also sushi.

Gil just wanted an excuse to find someone to make good food, really. ]

But first I want my potion back.

Oh, right-- we did do that, didn't we? Maybe I should have told the others.

Eeh? Feel free to, but we're only sharing your half of the wine. It's your birthday, and you're not drinking it, right?

It's okay, as long as I get to share my half. Besides, I'm not old enough to drink it, and I think Shirou-san would probably get mad at me if I did.

I'm younger than you, and I drink anyway! [ shota sparkle, activate!

Gil actually just thinks a drunk Illya would be hilarious. ]

But you're a Heroic Spirit... [ YOU DON'T FUCKING COUNT ]

Technically I was allowed to when I was properly alive too. [ Because who's going to question the crown prince? ] And we're not in Japan so Japanese laws don't apply!

[ Not that Gilgamesh cares much for Japanese laws. ]

But if you say so, onee-san. It's your stuff, you get to choose what you want to do with it!

I know they don't apply, but still... but I'm sure people will enjoy it!

Oh? Whatchu gonna do for me if I help out, kiddo?

[He'll get to the birthday part later.]

... I don't know, is there something specific you want? [ Illya asks the important questions. ]

Well....

[Rubbing his chin for a moment.]

....if I agree to help, you haveta call me Nagi-sensei.

Nagi-sensei...? [ Does he have a teacher fetish? ]

Why?

'cause you're gonna accept my magic combat tutelage. Got it?

R-Really? [ That's definitely a surprise. That's actually a good surprise. ]

You know what they say! The student doesn't choose the teacher, the teacher chooses the student! Besides, I'll have another favor to ask anyway.

Well... in that case, I wouldn't mind, Nagi-sensei. Besides, I probably need to practice a little more.

[ She laughs hollowly as she rubs the nape of her neck awkwardly. ]

You're gonna learn how to kick ass before you're done. I hope you enjoy punchin' things.

Well, I guess I could learn how to punch things. [ Since she doesn't really know how to do that. ]

I don't guess that you're gonna learn. You are gonna. That's how it works, kiddo.

I guess it does! So... when do we start, Nagi-sensei?

Whenever you're not doin' this thing? Seems like common sense.

... So tomorrow it is. Since I need to gather people for this and then apparently Ruby-san wants to celebrate my supposed birthday.

If it floats your boat, kid, good enough.
