She gets the note just before lunch. She's in the PHQ in less than twenty minutes, then she knocks on Piggot's door politely.

"It feels like yesterday plus one day."

[thinkering]

"How curious that we aren't biologically predisposed to sudden maturation after a societally-determined number of astronomical events."

[mrglam]

"Eh, it's more that I don't feel... er... socially different? Any freer? Maybe the fact that I'm planning on staying around or that I haven't graduated from the Wards is doing it."

[thinkering]

"Well, you can register to vote."

[mrglam]

"Yyyeah, I can, but I'm not sure that's the best use of my time."

[thinkering]

"I'm not going to suggest you buy cigarettes."

[mrglam]

"Not going to do that either, also not the best use of my time."

[thinkering]

"What is the best use of your time?"

[mrglam]

"Hmm."

[thinkering]

"Is the answer 'birthday sex'."

[mrglam]

"It's a possible answer."

[thinkering]

"One of many, huh?"

[mrglam]

"It's one I particularly like."

[thinkering]

"But is it your favorite?"

[mrglam]

"Of the options that have appeared so far in my mind, yes!"

[thinkering]

"Hmmm, should we spend a while thinking up other possibilities just in case this one isn't the optimal one?"

[mrglam]

"We could, or we could also do this one and if we come up with something better we can stop and go do that instead."

[thinkering]

"But I hate being interrupted, Sadde."

[mrglam]

"Then we can do it after we're done."

[thinkering]

"All right then." And she puts her helmet on for the stroll to his room.

[mrglam]

Eeeee! They stroll to his room- or rather, she might stroll, he's floating.

[thinkering]

And birthday sex ensues!

[mrglam]

It does! Eeeee!

"I haven't been able to think of something better to do. Have you?"

[thinkering]

"No, not really."

[mrglam]

"Well, then, I suppose we could cuddle here until we do."
