[So, how many of you were used to Shizuo's hobo-chic look? Because that's gone, and now his look is pretty much back to how it originally was. Roots touched up, hair trimmed back to a more acceptable length, and being a bit bundled up makes him look practically presentable.

Currently though, he's more thoughtful than usual while walking out of his place.]

Anyone see... Ah, what was it again...? Minato? Minako, Makoto... Something like that. I haven't seen him around lately.

[You'd think if he was concerned, he'd remember Mikado's name a little better, but... Well, it's Shizuo. Other things are on his mind, too.]

Ah... I was also wondering. Do any of you count birthdays here?

...

[Well, it's not like he's the type to lie anyway. Trying wouldn't work either.]

Yeah. It's tomorrow.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Ah! And you didn't tell me earlier?! I shall have to scramble to organize your birthday party now!

[kingshizuchan]

[Dangit, Kisuke.]

I don't want a party.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Eh?! Why ever not?!

[kingshizuchan]

They're loud and annoying. It's not that I'm against them, but they're really not my kinda thing.

[Well, actually he just ended up having no one but his brother and (depending on the time) Shinra to attend them if there was one. People were just too afraid of him back then.]

[mere_shopkeeper]

What if it's a small one?

[kingshizuchan]

Do what you want, but no one's really gonna show up.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Eh?! But it'd look silly if the birthday boy doesn't show up, and I'd be forced to bring the cake to him instead.

_{[In other words, what if it's just him and you, Shizuo?]}

[kingshizuchan]

That'd be fine.

[He just doesn't want someone to go through the trouble of inviting a bunch of people when they probably won't show up.]

[mere_shopkeeper]

Wonderful~ Now I just have to hope I have enough flour left.

[kingshizuchan]

...

If you're that low, then don't worry about it.

[mere_shopkeeper]

Maa, maa~ What would be the point of saving it if I never used it?

[kingshizuchan]

And what if there's something you end up needing it for.

[He'd feel bad if that came about.]
