Well I'd be a bad chevalier otherwise, wouldn't I?

[colorature]

you would
but youre wonderful

[policedefective]

Praise will get you everywhere, Diva-san.

[colorature]

are you really that easy goro

[policedefective]

I never said it was with me specifically either.

[But yes, he does enjoy it a lot.]

[colorature]

but it works right

[policedefective]

Of course. Praise will make others listen to you. I had that down to a near science back home.

[In part because he wanted praise back woops.]

[colorature]

todays your special day
i should praise you a lot then shouldnt i

[policedefective]

Only if you want to. Too much can spill over, after all, and cause it to seem fake.

[colorature]

goro
you know im not good at lying

[policedefective]

I do, but not everyone does. Think of it just as a life lesson for any future endeavors.

[colorature]

i will
anyway you said youre not busy
shall i come to you
or would you rather come here and get your present

[policedefective]

Considering my gracious host is organizing something, perhaps I can slip away for a bit while he continues to make preparations.

If you come here, he might drag you into it somehow.

[colorature]

ah i guess thats true...
well
come here then
the door is open so come right in

[policedefective]

Is your boyfriend there?

[colorature]

no hes out working
he wont be home for awhile

[policedefective]

Then I suppose I won't have to make a show of it.

[There will be a knock on the door a while later before Akechi waves at her.]

_{[Welcoming him in she gives him a rather large hug, nearly tackling him over in the process.]}

Happy Birthday-!

_{[At least he has decent balance. Don't mind what would be a rib crushing squeeze.]}

[policedefective]

[Ouf, he is glad that he has more strength before, because that hug could break ribs, he suspects.

That being said, it is nice to be this liked.]

Thank you.

[colorature]

Hehe...I've got something to give you.

_{[She pulls back then to disappear for a moment, only to come back with two small, lovely wrapped boxes. They're blue with white ribbons. The first one contains a box of decorated cake pops and the other something special that made her think of him.]}

Here.

[policedefective]

[He wasn't sure what Diva could give him at this point, considering. The colors, well he's used to them by now. Very Diva-ish. The cake pops are going to be shared with the others back home for sure, but the magnifying glass makes him smile before he laughs.]

Ahhh...something for my detective side, then? Very useful when searching for clues.

[colorature]

You think so?

_{[She seems rather proud of herself, hands clasped together happily as he smiles and laughs at the gifts. That's the reaction she was hoping for.]}

I saw it in a shop and it made me think of you.

[policedefective]

It's going to be dangerous, combined with my eyesight.

[It's funny, and it made Diva think of him. He'll definitely take it as a victory.]

I'll treasure it, thank you.

[colorature]

You're welcome!

_{[The smile sticks on her face as she watches him, happy that it seems she's succeeded in her choice.]}

There's also something else I've to offer you...if you want it.
