[SO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE-WHO-LIVE-IN-ALLEN'S-HOUSE-THAT-USED-TO-BELONG-TO-GUTS

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Which means that the pitter-patter of feet is making its way down the hall, to your room...

and landing on your bed.]

Wake UP! Jeez, 's already 6 AM you sleep too much!

[ooc; OPEN FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE and yes Timothy's yelling can be heard throughout the house.

I receive gifts at Christmas, you know.

It's the truth. [He'll just pause before...sorry he's a brat] I'm just old instead.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

For a separate occasion!

[That's a sharp pinch to your side, Allen] Old?!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But it's the same day...

[a small ow!] W-What? It's true! A good portion of my life is gone now...

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

That does not matter.

[And have another] It is not! This is precisely why you're an idiot!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But what's the difference between a Christmas and a Birthday present when they are given on the same day?

[he makes another ow and then is that...something close to a laugh?] I am not.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Allen, simply accept you will receive two gifts on the same day. As the difference is the occasion.

You are! There is nothing the matter with hitting twenty.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Can't it at least be one large gift as a compromise?!

I'm not! But it is rather strange to think about...

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...Perhaps.

In what way? It isn't as if you have not grown once a year since the start of your life.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Only perhaps?

Well...I'm no longer a teenager anymore, that's odd to think about.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

It will depend upon what I wish to purchase you.

Is it? It's simply a natural progression. of things.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

Isn't that supposed to be up to you?

...I think I'd be taller if things were truly going by their natural progression.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

I am hardly going to plan that far ahead.

[A snort of amusement] I doubt it.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But aren't you doing so already?

Hey, it's true! I was just starting my growth spurt!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Expecting to get you a gift for your date of birth, is hardly planning, Allen.

...Quite late for that, is it not?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's a bit of planning still!

Hey! I don't physically age here, remember?!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

It is not. It's customary, which simply makes it common sense. Understandably, that is something you know nothing about, but it does in fact, exist.

I was not quite so small, when I was your physical age either. [He was smaller, shush glossing over details]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I have plenty of common sense, Arthur!

...No, you were smaller than I. I remember seeing you at that age when we had to attend high school.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

You have no such thing.

[He'll arch an eyebrow] And you can prove that that was not of the castle's doing?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I do too!

There were a lot of people remarking about how this is how they looked like at that age. I doubt you were an exception to the rule.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

No, you don't. It's alright, it's rather endearing.

'A lot of people' is hardly everyone, and for the ones like you, you cannot prove you look like that in the future either. So you cannot know for certain.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I do too!

..It's all right, Arthur. There's no shame in being small in stature. [HE KNOWS YOU'RE JUST IN DENIAL]

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

If it pleases you to think so.

I am well aware of that Allen. However, I am not of that stature, so it does not need to be mentioned!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

It's the truth!

But you were once! There's no need to think poorly of your past!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

I don't believe it is.

[That's a light smack there] Do shut up!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

That doesn't change that it is the truth.

[an ow!] What?!
