David, are you still here? You didn't go away again yet like you said you might, did you? Please tell me you didn't! Because this is super important! I need to tell you something ASAP!

uh
no im still here
whats up little man

[brohoof]

Oh thank god! I was starting to get worried.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I was scared I wouldn't get to see you on it, but I did! It's like magic or something, I don't even know. But I'm really happy! I thought I'd have to give you your present on Christmas instead!

[clockspinner]

oh
thanks bro
any particular reason you didnt just come find me

[brohoof]

You're welcome!

And because



I don't know where you are, and I'd probably get lost and then I wouldn't find you until after your birthday, probably. That'd be just my luck.

So can you come to me? I'm in the library. It's nice and empty right now so we won't be bothered and stuff!

[clockspinner]

ill be right there


[And sure enough, in a few minutes, he shows up in the library.]

[brohoof]

Good!

[When Dave finds him, he's standing in an out of the way spot in the library. When he sees him, he breaks into a grin. He's got his hands behind his back and it's clear he's holding something behind them, and he shifts when Dave comes closer to make sure he can't see what it is.]

I'm glad you came! I'm so glad I can give this to you on your birthday. I worked really hard on it, bro, just for you. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to find it, since a lot of my stuff is gone, but somehow I managed to! It's like I was just meant to give this to you or something, because it was just right there, waiting for me to find it.

[He's rambling. Can you even understand him? He sure is talking real fast.]

[By this the third day of the castle's shenanigans, Dave has become completely resigned to his fate. However long this lasts, his only solace is that it can't last forever because those would be some big damn time paradoxes up in here.

Still, between two semi-unintelligible mini-londes and Bro thinking that he's Uncle David, he's lucky he's got his shades with how big the bags under his eyes are.

He honestly wasn't expecting anything for his birthday. He was operating under the assumption that, like Bro, Uncle David's birthday was some other time of year.]

Whoa there cowboy, what's the big surprise?

[It's when Dave asks that question that the nervousness hit. Up until then, he'd been confident that he would love it. But now that it's come to actually giving it to him... Well, what if he doesn't like it? What if he went to all that effort for nothing? He might've had a little help with it, but the work put into it was mostly his own. Hard work, sweat, and creativity. Also love. He's pretty sure that's breaking a rule, but he still put lots of love into it.

Either way though, he can't just not give it to Dave now. He shifts, biting his lip.]

I really hope you like it.

[And then he brings his arm around. In his arms is Lil Cal.]

I made him just for you. I made us both one! Except I can't find mine right now, but still. Do you like him? I just thought... it'd be cool if we both have one, y'know? You could see it when you're at home and think of me. I mean, if you wanted to.

[Please want to.

Please, please like it.]
