dezember is well aware nothing he could give could possibly match up to the G R E A T N E S S of the day, a momentous anniversary, Rchimedes' birthday. but he does what he knows, and what juli, exasperated with his fretting, tells him to get on with. rchimedes is presented with a cake, complete with dezember's usual posturing. it's a nice cake, well made and laboriously decorated. "--Happy birthday, Lord Rchimedes ! We are thankful for you."
another birthday, another year has passed. too many have passed at this point for someone such as him who should be long dead ; at this point, one would think people would stop celebrating but... this is dezember. the demon who had done so much for the sake of his revival, his dedication was something worth commending... if rchimedes was the type to give it in a normal way.
he’s never been the normal type, always an eccentric in the most exhausting of ways. he contemplates not doing anything at all, acting completely normal in the face he can tell took time and effort -- but he doesn’t. something in his mind tells him otherwise, the remnants of a memory in the back of his mind flickering.
( shion, crea, a cake the two of them made together even though he forgot about his own birthday while burying himself in research. even on this day, some things never change considering the demon lord is wearing an old lab coat where he’s working on his latest project since his revival such a while ago. )
we are thankful for you!
... it’s been a while since he’s heard that from someone else.
said man sets his pen aside, standing to his feet with an amused scoff and a smile. ( surely humans would say it’s an expression far too warm for someone such as HIM. )
‘ thank you, dezember. i almost forgot my own birthday again, haha... let’s eat some together, hm? ’ of course, he’ll save some for cecily to give when she’s not looking.
