◣ ✿ ◥ Oh–what a pleasant thing to return to! She hadn’t expected anything from him despite her gift for him a few weeks ago, let alone something so well-thought out. After inspecting both items, she set the cake aside for later and sat the rabbit against some books on her desk so that it could supervise the rest of her work, which wouldn’t take very long.
Afterwards, she’d look into getting the rabbit a tiny gun holster and trench coat (that offer from Kouyou was still on the table, so perhaps the woman could help her). She also made a mental note to ask the man what names he liked best.

◣ ✿ ◥ Dazai probably mentioned it at some point, or it was written down in a file somewhere; either way, birthdays were something she saw fit to remember, if only because it was an excuse to eat sweets (not that she needed one). Kyouka nodded when he thanked her, though the gratitude wasn’t necessary. Since he’d bought her candy before, it was only fair that she return the favour at some point. She didn’t forget that sort of thing either.
She did, however, accept the fork. It wasn’t in her nature to turn down cake, though she’d make sure to let him have most of it. “It’s good.” While she herself wasn’t great with words, she figured she ought to say something in return. Still, she’d already known that the cake would be good because she’d gotten it before. She wouldn’t risk getting someone subpar cake for their birthday.

◣ ✿ ◥ The first thing to draw her attention to the man was his red hair, and while it wasn’t odd considering all the people she knew, it remained eye-catching. Then she noticed him writing, which, aside from paperwork and the like, she didn’t see many people do outside of offices. But he wasn’t at an office and it didn’t look like paperwork, so what was he writing? With childish curiosity, she wandered over to where she could observe over his shoulder, close enough to read the words but (hopefully) just far enough away that he wouldn’t notice her presence.
