Hey, no need to take it *that far! I'm just regular ol' me.

... [sylvain, meanwhile, breaks into a big grin. it's not often Felix Hugo Fraldarius relinquishes.] Thanks, Fe. Make that *three meat skewers! I'll steal one of his Highness's.

consider it a belated day of devotion gift!

Oh shit. Really? Well, okay... I'll await your gift with bated breath!

Special day for a special boy!

A very special and very big boy!

A fourth might be hard to get ahold of, but I'll do my best for you!

Annie... this gift of yours doesn't happen to involve any sort of explosion, right? Magical or otherwise?

[nice try! sylvain was expecting that, and stands fast. he grabs ahold of felix's hands, still pushing against his chest.] Who's my little birthday boy?

... Annie, *no. Remember last time?

[ah ah... sylvain's got a firm hold on them, annoyingly wide smile on his face.] What was that?

Okay, okay. [he lets go.] Since it's your birthday I'll let you go without having to say the magic words.

How will it be different, Annie. Why will it be different this time.

Wha—-Fe, come on, really? On your *birthday?! Hey, don't leave!

... Okay. That sounds awesome, and I believe in you. We'll just have a bucket of water nearby, just in case.
