"Do you not like presents on your birthday?" Niki asks (yes, still stage whispering). "If you do not I can always put it in a different wrapping and you can pretend it is a housewarming present instead."

He glances down at his empty hand as if realising suddenly that there's no drink in it, Sunjata's suggestion of another Blue Torcher landing very easily indeed. "I thought I did have one," he says, peering back up at the demigod curled over the seat of the couch close enough to topple onto him at any moment, or so it seems. He's too focused on the cloud manta at that point, though, to realise it.
"Do you think it is stalking me?" His eyes narrow at that. "I heard they are meant to be placid creatures. What does this one want? And how will you take care of it?"
