Nell had tried something a little different for dinner tonight. She'd made a large, and hopefully tasty, vegetable stir fry and had stir-fried some beef in a different pan so those wanting meat could have some. She also had homemade sourdough bread, salad, and a vegetable broth based soup to start the meal.

The apartment was spic and span, the cats were happily curled up on their cat trees, for however long that would last, and she thought she was prepared as she could be for her first ever birthday celebration. Now to wait somewhat anxiously for her guests.

"I," Watts assured her. "Am always hungry." Yes, sometimes he got distracted enough to forget to eat. But there was a reason he carried snacks around in his pockets. For emergencies!

"I am," he nodded. "I've been before, of course, but I imagine a few things have changed in the last hundred and twenty years." Plus, there was a difference between visiting as a tourist on one's own and accompanying someone to their home. Yes, they'd be doing touristy things, but he'd also be seeing the parts of the city that were important to Steven specifically.

A big part of those differences was going to be the traffic. Steven was going to have his hands full (possibly literally) making sure Watts didn't attempt to cross the street at the wrong spot and get himself flattened.

"I'm more looking forward to having him tell me about things," he admitted.

"I've no doubt," Watts agreed. And then he shook his head, looking somewhat sheepish. "Oh! Many happy returns on the day. I'm sorry. I ought to have said that first thing."

"I wouldn't know," Watts confessed. "I've never had a birthday party either." Or attended one, until Prompto's a few weeks back.

“Agreed,” Watts nodded. And honestly… she probably wasn’t wrong, about that second thing.

"You needn't ask me twice," Watts said, heavily food-motivated creature that he was. "What did you make?"

"Well, I've not been disappointed by anything you've made yet," Watts pointed out. "So I've high hopes."

"Suppose if all else fails there's takeout," Watts suggested, blasphemous as that was. Or they could go with Steven's suggestion of just eating cake and ice cream.

Raiden did excellent pizza, though! Even the vegan ones!

"Nothing wrong with a good pizza, but I'm sure it won't come to that," Watts said.
