[ It is late, and the voice coming through the crystal is quiet. ]

My mother used to say that the day of one's birth was not a celebration of that moment, but a celebration of all the moments after that led up to you being alive, and a bit older.

[ Pamelia sighs. ]

But what does one do when they find themselves regretful of being a bit older? Of surviving, and living, through strokes of luck and stubbornness when others have not?

[ Happy 21st to her. ]

It's no problem. Either way, I'm likely to be around. You can't miss me; large, curving horns, honey badger tattoo, probably telling Ruby she needs to stock more northern vintages yet again.

[ Pamelia lets out a surprised laugh. ]

I will be sure to seek you out. I'm Pamelia, by the way. Short, pointed ears, red hair for ages.

Nice to meet you, Pamelia. I'm Korrin. Just about everyone is short to me, but the red hair will help.

Well met. I look forward to the drink.
