Maybe we can set up some Home Alone-style traps around your space, just in case.
And I'm so grateful for all the things you do for me! I just wish there was more that I could do for you that doesn't involve helping you out when you (God forbid!) are feeling under the weather. Let's do that dinner soon! I can do my best impression of my mom going "EAT! EAT! YOU LOOK TOO SKINNY!"
We should put up a sign saying anyone who gets caught in the trap is the legal property of the Travelling Lantern Theatre Troupe. That's how we caught most of our actors anyway!
Yes!! It's been SO long since someone tried to fatten me up! And I hear your birthday's not too far off...
Now ain't I older than you? And I personally REFUSE to feel elderly until I'm at LEAST 50, and there's a little over a year left until I gotta face down that number!!
Oh I'm CERTAIN you could find them if you looked close enough. My secret is mostly being a blond.
If you really don't want to do even THINK about your birthday then I can BANISH it from my mind completely. But I love a chance to celebrate!! Even better if I get to celebrate YOU.
Are you kidding me? You seem like you might be immortal!
Gosh, that's really nice, thank you! And I'll make sure to celebrate yours when it comes, too! We gotta make a big deal of it!
Sorry, I always get a little Existential Crisis-mode with every passing birthday. I wake up going "I've done nothing with my life!" and then have to remind myself that that is not, in fact, true.
Maybe I am, and there's no way to check and find my birth certificate or high school yearbook to know for sure!! (But my older sister started going gray in her twenties and she would bury me ALIVE if she knew that!!)
[...] To be honest, my last two birthdays haven't been all that [...] great. So I would TRULY love a big ol' celebration for my last pre-fiftieth birthday!
If you need me to remind you of how much you've done with your life and how happy at LEAST a couple folks are that you're here no matter what age you are, I would be thrilled to provide that service. Mostly free of charge, even!
It's just all that light and goodness shining through!
I'm sorry to hear that, but all the more reason we should do something big! Should I be talking to your troupe friends about helping out or would that be stepping on their creative lil toes?
"Mostly", eh? You drive a hard bargain. Seriously though, thank you for everything. You make me feel a little less like I'm just out here waiting to drop dead from overwork/lack of sleep/nutrients/etc.
And here I thought I'd have to start using peroxide eventually if I wanted to be California handsome.
Oh I think they'd love it!! I think Evening is still a little peeved I didn't mention my birthday while we were freezing half to death in the mountains so don't let her intensity scare you off!!
I might charge a smooch or a snuggle here or there. But mostly I'm just happy to be here at the same time as you, reminding you there's still some life left to live.
[...] I wanna tell you something but I'm lightly afraid it'll scare you off.
The key for MOST theater kids is just to give us attention. Also her birthday is Christmas Eve, so she might actually appreciate something that acknowledges the trouble of having a December birthday and always getting those dreaded combined or holiday-themed presents.
I think I could die today and have only a few regrets. But most of them would be about wanting to see your face one more time, so it's really downright kind of you to come on over and check on Edgar's bite. We can't have our star under the weather or anything!!

I would love that, thank you! As long as I'm not making you pull an all nighter or anything... I don't want to be a bother!
DM 12/3
There's not a CHANCE of you being a bother to me.
DM 12/3
Have I told you how much I appreciate you lately? 'Cause you're simply the best. Better than all the rest.
DM 12/3
Maybe you have and I just like hearing it from you. Because then I can turn it around and tell you how much I like doing things for you.

Then I gotta! It's practically my duty! And oh God, don't remind me, I already feel elderly.

You were occupied! But now we can make up for it! (Also I need to bug you about her, but we'll circle back to that.)
Me too. You're one of the best things that's happened to me these past couple of years, and there's nothing you could do to scare me off!
DM 12/3
Don't say I didn't warn ya!!
[...] I love you. I keep telling myself I shouldn't let my heart get so far ahead of my brain, but every time we say goodbye I want to tell you that.
DM 12/3
[...] Really? 'Cause I thought maybe I was just being impulsive or something (as I've been known to do!). I love you, too.
DM 12/3
If you're being impulsive, then I guess that makes us a couple of impulsive old idiots in love.
[...] I want to see you. I wonder if I can convince someone here it's time for a run up to Prescott for some reason.
DM 12/3
Look, we're not guaranteed to be here for a good time or a long time, and the last thing I'd want is to regret anything left unsaid.
Oh? What's that? Edgar's bite is looking kinda gross again? I'd better come check it out!

DM 12/3
No, definitely not. This isn't about wanting to look at your beautiful smile in person, no sirree!
