♨ 1 Apple Pie + Eighteen Apples and Cinnamon | Action/Voice ♨

[Back dated to the 11th.

Four. Four birthdays in Luceti. Honestly none of them have ever been very exciting, but maybe it's better that way. Calling attention to age, especially now that she's 20, is a little of a scary thought. Instead she'll act like it's a normal day for most of it. Taking her dog for a walk in the late morning, spending time in the smithy, and even grocery shopping a bit. Eventually sometime in the afternoon, before dinner, she'll ask the village a question:]

A question for everyone: How do you feel about growing older here? Whether you already have or not. Is it scary to think about?
[Families? Relationships? Are they even a good idea? Despite the fact those are things she wants.]

Did you have anything planned? [Ran Fan would like to do something. Even if it's just something small.]

voice;

[installing]

No? I don't usually have birthday parties.

[Mostly because she's either kidnapped or other people are to busy for a surprise party. It's not like she minds though.]

voice;

[oftheyin]

Oh, um, not a party, but just... anything?

voice;

[installing]

Not really. Haruhi or Ed might try something, but I don't know if it'll be anything big.

voice;

[oftheyin]

I would like to do something for you. If that is alright. [Like cook her dinner or something.]

voice;

[installing]

Oh, uh- Sure! If you want to! Thanks, Ran Fan.

voice;

[oftheyin]

Thank you.

Is there, um, any food you like? I can try to make it. [If not, you're getting as close to a traditional Xing meal as Ran Fan can make.]

voice;

[installing]

I do, but I want you to try and make me the tastiest Xing Style dish you know. I'm pretty interested in what kind of food they make over there.

[And if it's anything like Haruhi's cooking.]

voice;

[oftheyin]

If that is what you want. I will happily make you a Xingese dish for dinner.

voice;

[installing]

Thanks! I've really been wanting to try one.

voice;

[oftheyin]

Then tonight, I will make your dinner for your birthday. [Which is good enough for her.] I can make you my favorite dish, along with my grandfather's. [Ling just likes to eat... and eat... and eat.]

voice;

[installing]

Don't make too much. I'll feel bad if I don't finish it all.

voice;

[oftheyin]

Oh... I'll try. [She's so used to making a lot for Ling.] I'll go get the ingredients now then.

voice;

[installing]

Great! And then we can eat together.

voice;

[oftheyin]

I will see you later tonight then.
