Winter in July. I reckon there's something comforting about a bit of routine or familiarity here for all the mad things that happen. Sort of like how I'm almost positive we'll have summer around Christmas and definitely mistletoe again—that was my first curse, of course, and it's happened every year since.

Though I'm never sure how to handle birthdays here. I mean, with people who aren't around anymore. It feels a bit weird to ignore them altogether because it isn't just another day back home, so why should it be here? Then again, you don't just go around throwing parties for an empty chair, either.

I used to visit the Hall of the Missing, but that's a bit depressing, don't you think?

I've gone a few years without it coming to this, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. I'd like to make a trade and I've heard you're the one to speak to about it.

Life is far too fleeting to waste on boring conversation, I wholeheartedly concur.

[rubbing his hands together]

So. When's the inevitable party-planning pow-wow gonna go down?

How does the seventeenth sound? Right between our birthdays. Just loads of food and great music and friends.

Already marked it on the calendar. This. Will be. Awesome.

You're getting quite excited over the birthday of a girl you've just met.

[IT IS ENDEARING.]

[zipperbent]

Oh, please. I feel like I've known you a lot longer than that, Ginny.

[HE'S COOL WITH ENDEARING.]

[She pauses and cocks her head, a bewildered and amused smile tugging at her lips.]

What makes you say that?

[um. he has the distinct impression he maybe ought to blush a little bit. so he does!]

We- share a lot of the same interests and we're both of us easy to talk to and you're a fan of Pabu which always earns points. Some friendships don't need a lot of cultivating, you know? They're just...sort of there.

[She colours, too, but it's with a laugh as she leans back. Obviously flattered and pleased.]

Well. Good to know I'm not crazy, then. Sometimes I wonder if we haven't met here before and I just forgot. But then again, I reckon I'd remember Pabu, right?

[BEING FRIENDS WITH PRETTY GIRLS SURE IS TOUGH.]

Pabu is the most memorable fire ferret around.

--I'm a little miffed you don't think I'm memorable, too, though.

Of course you are. Don't be ridiculous. Like I'd forget a bloke who can earthbend any time soon.
