[Fern can't help but blush at Varian's reaction when he pulls back. The lopsided smile of his is so endearing.]

To be honest, I never expected to have another good one. [The last one had only been good in a terrible kind of way. It hadn't been the genuine, sincere kind of good that came with all of Finn's birthdays. As Fern he didn't have those friends and family anymore - so as far as he was concerned, no one was going to get him gifts. No one was going to bake him a cake. No one was going to care.]

So just having one that doesn't suck is really, really great.

[He's very enamoured right now, the smile is definitely sticking around for a little bit.]

Well, I'm just gonna have to make sure that every one is going to be great now. I might not be able to outdo myself every year, but boy, will I do everything I can to make sure they don't suck.

[laminae]

[Oh wow. Outdo himself? That's a lot.]

You don't gotta do something big every year. As long as I can spend it with you I'll be happy.

[droptheious]

Oh...well, that's good. [He's way too much of an overachiever to NOT try and outdo himself but still-] I mean, I'm really happy spending time with you, too. I just think you deserve to have something really special.

[laminae]

Geez.... [He opens his mouth to argue that no, he really doesn't, but he knows Varian won't put up with that. So he just blushes and reaches up to scratch a hand through his hair.]

Can we settle for something not terrible? It's not like there's a high bar to clear there.

[droptheious]

[Fern is very correct, Varain would not put up with that. Still, this seems a fair compromise so he nods.]

Okay, not terrible sounds like a reasonable goal.

[laminae]

Okay cool. [It's a start, and who knows, maybe this time next year he'll want to bump it up from 'not terrible' to 'good.']
