September 15th...oh, now that I think about it, today really is his birthday.
Ian quickly remembered that today was his own birthday, which is hard to believe, as he seems to have only mentioned it to Yisen Gard once, yet the latter remembered it so clearly.
The boy's friends in the Imperial Capital were pretty much all here—although it seemed like a large number, in essence, it was just Hua'an, Frost Butterfly, Mo Feng, and Yisen Gard, three Fae and one person.
They had prepared a table filled with an abundance of delicacies for Ian and decorated the house... quite festively.
Of course, in the culture of The Empire, purple is noble, red is war, and celebration and joy are represented by gold and amber, symbolizing unexpected fortune and rich spirits.
"Was it really necessary to go all out like this..."
