[ Ayaka can still deliver them on her own! It's something special and personal between her and her friends. But she's not going to be waking up alone on her birthday, that's for sure. Then she suggests that he say goodnight as well... And his gaze turns to the shrines of his mother and her parents respectfully. With a small "hm" and a smile, he nods. ]
Alright.
[ He starts off with his mother. He doesn't have any tea or anything to set down, but this is still enough for saying goodnight. Beforehand, he might have just kneeled. But being so used to both Nippon and Inazuman traditions, he's actually quite content sitting seiza style. Which is exactly what he does for Claudia; it's what he'll do for Ayaka's parents also. ]
Hey, Mom... Just thought I'd check up on Ayaka before her birthday tomorrow. [ A beat. Two beats. A thoughtful hum. ] You know...she's the reason I actually started celebrating mine again. Actually gave me a reason to look forward to it...
[ But, anyway. ]
I'll seeya in the morning. G'night.
[ And now it's on to the Kamisatos. Rising up, he takes the few steps over to the shrine of her parents, taking a seiza stance once more, bowing his head a little. ]
Good night. Another year for your daughter, huh... She's really grown. Even in the time that I got to know her.
Mm. She'll do the clan proud. [ He pauses then, looking down and away momentarily as he wonders if he's speaking too openly. He's known to be blunt, but at least with Ayaka he's been softer. But that didn't mean he ever lied to her. ] ... I know it.
