It feels a little weird to come of age so far from home. Hey, if anyone's listening- do birthdays make you feel awkward here, or is it just another year for you?

I'm not sure whether or not it's something to celebrate, but... still, it can be exciting, right?


[Contrary to the usual tradition of most people, Suki is in the Avatar kitchen today, trying to... make herself a cake. Or rather, a cake she can share with the family at dinner. She wants to know how to cook for her man, after all, and now that she's had a couple of cooking sessions with more experienced bakers, she thought it would be fun to try.

...Someone KATARA HALP should probably supervise, though, before she does something irreversibly unpleasant.]

It sounds as though I should be wishing you a happy birthday! I'm sorry you can't be home to celebrate it, but congratulations on coming of age!

[blessedbyfarore]

Is it your birthday today? It's mine really soon, I think! Have you had a good day?

[voice]

[kyoshi]

Oh, thank you! It's a bit strange, though, I thought I'd feel more like an adult when this happened.

[kyoshi]

I did! It was very relaxing. And I hope you have a great birthday as well, when it happens!

Are you not sure about the date, though?

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

How old are you now, if it's all right to ask?

[voice]

[kyoshi]

I'm sixteen today.

[That morning, Sokka had already wished her a happy birthday (with some birthday hugging, kissing and whatever else that followed), before taking off for the day. He had THINGS TO PREPARE just for her, after all. So later as it presses on later in the day, he'll see her voice message and decide this is convenient, because he was about to contact her anyway.]

Of course it can be exciting, Suki.

[blessedbyfarore]

Thanks! And I don't know... we normally just picked a day and did something then. I know it was my birthday a few weeks before I got here, anyway.

[voice]

[alabastajewel]

Oh, then we're the same age!

And I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Vivi. It's very nice to meet you!

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

It didn't feel weird for you?

[voice]

[kyoshi]

It's nice to meet you, as well! I'm Suki. [Yaaaaay more girls around her age. Poor thing needs to be more social.]

[kyoshi]

Just picked a day...? [Doesn't that get confusing?]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday!

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well... the first time it kind of did, yeah. [And he honestly was too busy last time to dwell on it.]

[blessedbyfarore]

Uh huh. I know it's right in the beginning of summer! And I know when my last one was, anyway.

[kyoshi]

Summer birthdays are great, I think. It's much warmer than having it any other time!

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

That's right... you've been here a lot longer than me. [Well at least he's not too much older than she is. And come to think of it, this year was-] ...You've had bad luck with birthdays, haven't you. [Stupid Malnosso.]

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

Thanks, Winry!

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I have something for you! Where should I drop it off?

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

You do? You didn't have to do that! [ffff that was unexpected, did Sokka tell her?]

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

We're friends, aren't we?

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

Well, I can't say no to that. [It's nice to hear, though.] Would you like to come over? Or we could meet somewhere, if you wanted.

[Voice]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I'll just come over.

[Voice]

[kyoshi]

[CURIOUSLY THIS DOES NOT CONCERN HER]

Alright, I'll wait here for you, then.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... the first one wasn't too bad. Just uh, really weird.

[Because honestly, Toph went all out. She even wore a dress for him.]
