“Hahah, wow! I almost forgot my birthday with how busy I’ve been!”
“Least you didn’t forget completely and had to have had your brother remind you two fuckin’ days later. But whatever. Anyway, you better listen up because I’m only gonna go ‘bout this once, so pay attention!”
“...Thank you for being born. Your life means a lot to me. I’ll be denyin’ it all I want after today--hell, even after this--but know that... that I hold you close in my list of trusted people. Of people I cherish. Don’t you fuckin’ go abusing that privilege or I’ll make sure to stick ya in a wooden onesie. Happy birthday, muirnin.”
