Your birthday?

[Beat.]

Spending such an event here however... ...You have my condolences.

[noluckduck]

... Wow, man. That was pretty much the most eloquent reply I got.

Uh, thanks.

[noluckduck]

Yeah, ya get it. 'Snice that at least some people do.

[originalnumber]

Others were not so understanding I take?

[originalnumber]

Aah-

A-Alright. [Hohhhhh. Making him feel embarrassed you are..!]
