Sallie's birthday.

[realmrsreynolds]

Today is Sallie's birthday, and she's not overly thrilled with that notion.

She'll live with it, though (like she does every year), and when she gets out of bed she finds that one of the Loompas has started making the birthday present deliveries earlier than usual - there is a potted mini-rosebush sitting on one of her kitchen countertops.

Dinner tomorrow? I know you must have a date tonight.
Happy birthday, Mother. Wo ai ni.

Sallie just laughs, sticking the card into one of the pockets of her robe as she starts to move around and make herself some morning coffee. Not a bad day's start.

Eventually Splinter stops being pleased with himself, and becomes fully absorbed in the story being played out before him.

That is...until something goes over his head. For the most part he's been following along well enough, but then he lost the thread of the story. Splinter leans over towards Sallie, and very quietly asks, "Where has the viceroy gone?"

Sallie just gives Splinter the most elated of smiles.

"Shh."
