[ It takes her a bit to come about, but its around the afternoon Mona shows up. With a box in her hands, and delighted face upon her expression. She gives the other a beaming sort of look, very proud of her efforts in conducting a Birthday cake she made herself! ]

Happy Birthday Harry! I am not really one for surprises, but I thought I would drop by and give you a small gift.

Oh wow, there is a gift for me. That’s really thoughtful of you, Mona.

(Harry carefully takes a boxes and begins to shake it a bit. Rose is squeaking in excitement to see what her master’s friend got him while Hedwig is showing pride and happiness for her friend.)

I wonder what is inside this box.

Now, now. Do not shake it so much. That is a cake, but here have this as well!.

[ Mona beams rather delighted, handing him another box from a bag she carried.]

Inside contains a neat lantern I have been learning to make. It's a light imbued with magic, all you need to do. Is imbued it with a magic of your own, but also instill a image of a place. Like here, and the Lantern or Light will always lead you right back here!

[ A prompted nod. ]

It is helpful for exploring the forests of Camelot! If it ever needs to be recharged, feel free to stop by my place. Otherwise there is a bag there too, but you musn't open it. It will open on its own, when the time comes!

Oh, there’s a cake inside all this time. Whoops, I didn’t saw that coming.

(He then puts the cake and its box down on the table before getting to open the box and see the lantern Mona has presented to him. The young man gazes it in awe as he picks it up.)

Oh wow, that’s really wonderful. Thank you so much.

[ Mona rightfully pouts, as if 'Hey how dare you!' ]

Of course, it would be impossible to over look your birthday especially knowing what I do thanks to it! Did you do anything else enjoyable on this date?

Giving Rose and Hedwig some play time and getting a nice birthday greeting from my co-workers.

(He has given her a playful kind smile.)

Are they doing well too? Things have seem to get a bit crazy outside as of late.

[ Mona reaches to give Hedwig a pay on the head. A welcoming gesture saying hello. ]

They’re holding up very well so far. I had left them in my hotel room in when everything went crazy in the Hall of Mirrors. There were as many people in the offensive as there were many in the defensive.

(He was still trying to get over from the mirror reflections incident in the Hall of Mirrors. The young man still has distrust towards Gwion for a few days so far, though he hasn’t showed it.)

You don't seem happy by the outcome did something else happen? [ Mona inquires, placing her jacket down upon the table. After giving Hedgwig the greeting she had. ]

Apparently, someone or something possessed King Arthur and the Mirror and the death mages had to exorcise the Mirror before things got really bad, and Arthur got badly hurt and had to recuperate for the time being. I just hope that he’ll be okay.

(He hates to admit it: Gwion did had a point about Arthur being in danger at the time, but she didn’t mention what was the cause of it. Maybe it has to do with the barriers Celliwig built to protect everyone from those raging spirits from the Summer Solstice.

At this time, he isn’t even sure just yet.)

Oh do not even remind me, the circumstances of that exchange have left me lost to the state of affairs all of Avalon will be in.

[ Mona lets out a huff, seemingly at odd with the situation they were all in. ]

We are so busy minding the politics of this realm, it feels as if we have not so much as touched the issues of saving our own worlds.

You definitely have a point: I wasn’t given that many answers about it either since last January when I asked in an AMA about what led to our worlds being frozen in time.

(Harry is also wondering about the situation about their worlds right now that the politics in Avalon make him wondering if everyone has gotten sidetracked on the reason they were all brought in here.)

There are times where I was wondering if we have progressed enough to free our worlds and restore time, although I didn’t mention this to anybody for a long time until now.

This really the kind of talk you want to have? Well considering I have read your stars, this is probably as regular thing for someone like you to handle on your birthday. Is it not?

[ Mona is a little amused, mild with concern. ]

It almost seems as if, we are meant to stay here for a long span of time. From speaking to others as well, it seems being reared or pulled from other universes. This is a regular occurence.

Same here: I guess that some things haven’t left me entirely, regardless of which world I’m in.

Yeah, I have a funny feeling that we’re all going to be here for a long run as well, until perhaps we can solve the frozen time problem: I just don’t know exactly for how long.

That and another part of me has been telling me that maybe it’s probably for the best that I need to get away from my world for a long while.

Hm.. You are not wrong about either statement.

[ Mona moves and opens up the box with the cake. She places it on the table and looks over to him. ]

I don't know if you are hungry but, I can't stop thinking about the cake I made.

Oh, that tastes rather delicious. I’m just as wanting to get a taste of the cake as well. I’m really intrigued to see what you have made.

(Rose squeaks to him if she can have cake, though Harry did had to tell that he isn’t sure if cakes are good for Pygmy Puffs at the moment. Hedwig softly hoots in agreement to have a look at the cake as well.)

I got a bit excited, fruit is in the cake. So worse comes to worse, your friends can pick at the inside and avoid the fruit creme around it!

[ Mona enjoyed using fruits when she could, they were a delicacy and a great easy way to make a dish taste better. ]

Sweet! That’s really nice of you, Mona. Did you hear that, Rose, Hedwig? My friend is offering you to take some of the inside of the cake while avoiding the creme in there. Is that okay for you?

(Rose happily chirps and squeaks in excitement while Hedwig happily hoots, pleased as punch that they could get parts of the cake they can eat safely.)

[ Mona giggles softly, ]

I am not about to bring food and not let everyone have some of it! That would be far too cruel a fate to bestow to anyone.

[ As such she goes to fixing up a plate of fruits from some of the cake. Places it into a bowl, to wash the creme off of it. Offering it on the table so the two could eat the fruits happily. She turns to harry and cuts them both a slice of their own. Immediately diving to eat a bite. ]

Gosh! I did such a good job~!

(Harry then takes a big bite onto his slice and he is enjoying it just as much as Mona does.)

Oh wow, that’s really delicious! You did a really brilliant job in baking this cake, Mona.

(Hedwig and Rose then share the fruits from the cake and they happily munch them between the two of them.)

[ Some of the tasks that appear every month on the questboard are quite memorable, to say the least. And this one—hot knights—definitely falls into that category. Sneaking in and out of places is something he's experienced with, but going in alone sounds way too reckless. For some reason, the first person he thinks of to hit up is Harry, so Akira sends him a text just a few minutes after seeing the quest pop up on his phone screen for the first time: ]

Hey, so...do you have any plants for tonight?
There's this one task on the board that sounds...urgent.

(As soon as he hears his smartphone ringing on his desk in his studio flat, Harry immediately grabs it to see that Akira had sent him a text. Hedwig is currently napping inside her cage at this time while Rose wakes up after hearing the ringing, squeaking in concern.)

Hey Akira.

I got nothing very urgent to attend to right now. I wonder what task do you want to discuss with me about?

Uh, well...
It's about these knights being held in a club.
Strip club, even.
They don't really sound like they want to stay there, so...
I thought helping them out might be a good idea.
My plan is to sneak in, find them, sneak out together with these guys.
I'm open to suggestions, though.
But most importantly, are you in?

(Oh Merlin, those poor knights! Harry is feeling really bad for them: being held hostage in a strip club against your own will does sound really bad, so he does really want to help Akira out in freeing them from whoever is trapping them inside. But he has no clue who they are going to deal with in the club just yet.)

Oh my, that is really terrifying, Akira. I’m really scared for them: these poor knights really need our help so badly right now.

In any case, I’m definitely going in with you. I am also okay with sneaking inside the club as well. Although I am pretty curious, who is keeping those knights in the club?

I think the owner of the club, but honestly, I wonder if that intel from the task board is accurate.
They might have accomplices, so we have to be ready for anything.
What would you say to meeting there in an hour?
