Oh. Look at that. I've never used something like this before.

[ He laughs at himself. His smile doesn't fade for a moment. ]

It's someone's birthday tomorrow. Not mine. Though it is someone very important to me.

And, what I'm asking of everyone is to be sure of a few things:

[ He lifts up a hand, and is counting this out on his fingers. ]

First, be sure you're extra kind to him.

Second, make sure to wish him a birthday. I want to make sure he gets all the well wishes he could want for the next couple of days.

[ Pause -- ]

Oh! This is for Xiao, by the way. If you don't know him, he's an attractive man with lovely green hair. He sometimes looks like he's brooding, but he's really very kind.

[ Listen, he's going to talk up Xiao as much as he wants. ]

A picture might help, too. Here, I'll attach it.

[ Picture attached here. Venti, when did you take this pic? Don't ask. ]
