[listen The Traumas happened in October of last year and he's trying not to imply or address anything of it but also he finds the kaomoji to be just the most delightful thing about text communication in the 2020's.]
As I'm sure you're aware, Waver's birthday falls in the month of October. Of course I doubt he will say anything of it, but I believe if he won't be the one to celebrate it as it should than his loved ones must be the ones to help him along that route, wouldn't you say?
I wouldn't have known myself had it not been for that skeleton fellow. The time I spent with him prior to coming here were entirely in the dead of winter near the turn of the new year.
[And skeleton-san really should KNOCK but that's besides the point also dia didn't see him because a certain bon forgor where she threw the darts for his birthday. either way they're still family being cut from the same cloth of stupid.]
It is an important day, there should be a large celebration with everyone he knows in a pre-prepared venue of course!
[Exhibit A. Ritsuka please remind your father I mean Diarmuid that chill is a good thing to have and that your mother I mean Waver will have a fucking heart attack at a large venue.]
If Kaisou hasn't exploded by next year Ritsuka will at least cooperate if people insist on throwing her a party, she knew futility when she saw it okay.
Maybe something like... You could take him out to some fancy dinner. Like make it really super fancy thing so that he thinks that's what you were planning all along, you know?
And then when you get home there's a ton of presents and his friends to surprise him!
It might still give the poor man a heart attack, but only a little one!
Exactly! Plus even if it's only friends there, if other people wanna send gifts they can still do that, you know?
And it can still be a surprise because even if he knows you're planning something then taking him to dinner might seem like that was it. So he won't be expecting the rest.
What about her own role in all this? It's fine she just kind of lumped herself in with the 'friends' part of it.
Perhaps, but would it not be nicer for him to spend the time with us all together? We needn't discuss the state of things happening, only appreciate one another's company.
[He knows you, Ritsuka. He knows you'll want to talk about current events or otherwise work and he knows Waver will to. Have you considered just having a fun time with your dads as a treat, ma'am?]
She'd assumed it would just be a date, Waver and the person he loved most in the world, and of course Ritsuka wouldn't dream of getting in the way of that. But Diarmuid probably knew him better than anyone, and if he said so...
Like, I wouldn't be getting in your guys' way or anything?
Besides wasn't spending fun time with them exactly what all those various times she'd come over for dinner and such for? This was supposed to be Waver's special day.
Surely you don't think you'd ever be "getting in the way" of either of us? That will never be true. Your presence will always be welcomed in our lives, and I can speak with confidence on Waver's behalf that that will never stop being true.
If that has yet to be made clear, then it is a failure on my part. If you simply needed the reminder, then I will remind you as many times as it takes. You're important to us in all occasions. Your presence is and always will be a shining light in our lives.
[diarmuid ua duibhne? using flowery extra words to convey something that could be said in less because he simply is unable to stop sparkling and stumping someone close to him because of it? say it ain't so!
get absolutely cherished you fucking moron.]
Truly it fills me with great joy knowing you'll join us, and protest though he will Waver will meet you with just as much joy.
I will work on arrangements as discreetly as I can and when the details are solidified I'll inform you immediately.
That was so unfair making her so flustered and confused was cheating. Or at least it ought to be!!
right
I mean
is there anything I can help with
Though, now that she thought of it, if Diarmuid really took her advice and set up dinner at some really fancy place, she needed to find something appropriate to wear, didn't she?

As if she were one to talk, but shh this was about Waver right now.
you're totally right though, we should plan a party for him, right? do you already have some ideas?
We're just going to skim over the fact that 'loved ones' sure sounds a lot like family? Okay then.no subject

Something something it takes one to know one.
I bet pretty much everyone on the app would come if it was for him yeah. Though he might pass out or something from shock at so many people...
Granted she's kind of amused by that mental image because of course she is but.

Oh. Right, of course, I... hadn't considered that. Something smaller then with just a few people.
[He loves how many people love Waver but he also doesn't want the man to explode.]

I think that's a wonderful idea. Certainly less likely to be overwhelming but no less something he'll be glad to see.

You mean you didn't intend to join us for dinner?

Please give her a moment she honestly had not thought of this.
I mean I figured you'd want to do something with just the two of you?
