"I-Itsuki-san. Here-" genya knows he's not the most skilled, nor is he the most talented when it comes to, well, anything. he stands awkwardly, shuffling as tabi dig into the dirt. the problem with him is that not only does he lack any particular skills, but he's incredibly horrible with talking to any girl - at all - ever. his ears burn as red as his face with extreme embarrassment as he grumbles under his breath, holding out a small, flat box that is definitely wrapped with precise corners. considering that she managed to make him something for his birthday, it's only fair he gives back. Itsuki has always been kind to him - a good friend. that doesn't mean he isn't any less embarrassed about presenting a hand-made gift instead of something he could have bought. honestly, he isn't sure what to get anyone these days. he's only ever had little sisters - and truth be told, they just liked when he played games with them. "I, uh...heard it was your birthday and all. S-so I made you something - I asked Kanroji-san for some help - I almost died. Here." he pushes the box forward and clears his throat, crossing his arms as broad shoulders hunch, trying to make him seem small. having friends is strange and new - and happening to him with surprising abundance. the influx of people who know his name is a little overwhelming, but he's learning to deal with it. "It's mochi," he blurts out, deep voice wobbling slightly, "I, uh - I made some. Sorry about the paper having cat prints - they wouldn't leave me alone while I was wrapping, so ... I guess it's from all of us. So, uh - you know - happy birthday, Itsuki-san." ( i am so sorry this is late, but he is here ! genya is delivering a birthday gift ! :D )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ITSUKI!!! 🎉🎈

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, your big sister (Yup, you read that right!) already held a great deal of PRIDE and ADMIRATION for you, @starchxsn. And well, a great deal of WORRY too, when it came down to it... After all, despite the path that he had so steadfastly chosen for himself, it only made sense that all those around him would be rooting for him. While also prayed for his safe return each and every time. And the young village leader was certainly one of those folks.

"GENYA BRO! It's so good ta see ya~!"

And despite his flustered, awkward state then, Itsuki was already flashing the boy a bright, welcoming grin. Her brown gaze twinkling with mirth and amusement, as it only grew brighter upon realising just why he was here today. Ah, who had he found this out from? Either way, it was an all around WONDERFUL SURPRISE, and Goddess knows just how incredibly GRATEFUL she was that he had taken the trouble to come visit her on her special day!

Her eyes had widened sightly over how he had 'nearly died', just because he had decided to seek some aid when it came to figuring out a gift for her. Hearing that absolutely tickled her, as she quietly raised a hand to cover her mouth. It would take everything in her not to even giggle then (Though, it was only because of how SWEET and ADORABLE you are, bro! She wasn't laughing at you, oh please don't think that!), as she slowly lowered it back down and offered him another warm smile. Looking back down then to the box that he was now handing to her, she was about to say something-- before he had beat her to it by telling her just what was inside.

Honestly, the ACCIDENTAL CAT PRINTS were a nice little touch to the overall gift itself. And this time, she could not stifle back her giggle in time. As she couldn't help but imagine the poor boy exasperatedly trying to fend the adorable fellas off as he tried to wrap the mochi up for her. It also just reminded her how animals themselves seemed fond of the boy, and could see that he really was a sweetheart past that rather fierce (Well, sometimes) exterior of his.

"Awwww, bro~!" She would chirrup, just a little too teasingly. Just a little too playfully. But more importantly, just so darn fondly. As she reached out to give him a BIG OL' HUG. Not knowing (Or maybe she did) that it would only make things worst for the already red-faced dear.

"Yer just-a BIG OL' SWEETHEART, ain't cha? Thank you so much fer this! An' please tell them kitties thank you fer me too!"
