[ she's been planning this,from the moment she awoke hera fter the last loop. homura's been quietly chalking up the time they've been here although the terminal never changes, it must have been at least six months since her departure. she decides, that's the closest they're ever going to get to his birthday.

his... birthday. it sounds awfully strange for an angel to have a birthday, but she can indulge him in his attempts to be more humanlike. it's not out of debt alone that she does this, but because she wants to do something nice for him for once.

she's always been planning this, ever since the first time she asked for his birthday, but there has never been an opportunity, and she sees him scarcely enough as it is.

but not this time, she's determined to have her plans carry through.

she places a hand lightly on his shoulder, giving him a gentle push. he's likely to be awake already. ]

Kaworu.

[ with all he's put into organising, scrapping and reorganising plans and methods and blueprints, kaworu forgets to keep track of the time that doesn't loop. days and months go by meaninglessly to him, their importance nowhere close to the tier his hundreds of tallies hold. for all he cares, it could be march or december.

that said, he's laying on the seats that have become a makeshift bed for him, eyes closed though he's been awake for some time now. it feels like there's something important he needs to do or remember, but the list he's mentally compiling scatters when akemi's touch meets his shoulder. ]

Ah..? Good morning, Homura-san. [ sitting up, he smoothes the wrinkles from his clothes with a sleepy sort of absence, glancing back up at the girl through his fringe, a gentle smile uplifting his features.]

It isn't much like you to greet me so early.. is there something you need me for?

I'd like you to come with me for a moment.

[ she withdraws her hand and lets it drift to her side, watching him through her own strands of fallen hair. she hopes that whatever look she's wearing doesn't give away her plans, and that the gift she's hidden in one of the compartments hasn't been found by him- not yet, anyway.

it's not a very spectacular gift, but she's managed to do something with the scrap parts lying around, and the material she's found back in mitakihara, in preparation for the next loop. ]

that is... if you wish to.

[ she's already left his sleeping areas, waiting for him to join her by the edge of the rows. ]
