[Other Morgan could be within 100 yards for all this Morgan knows, but he calls her anyway. If you have a magic talking device why not use it??]

Morgan, hey! It's Morgan. Are you doing anything at the moment?

[WHO KNOWS not them. They're making good use of their free minutes, though, that's for sure.]

Heya, Morgan!

[okay she can't help but giggle, it's just so funny to be talking to someone with the same name--]

Hmm... I'm just doing the usual "try to pick up supplies and make sure we have a camp set up before any monsters show up"! But otherwise, nope!

[nah, she's really free, they have enough shepherds that camp's not a problem.]

[He smiles at her giggling, because he knows exactly what that's about. It's like a horrible inside joke ~~that no one else would get because it's not actually that funny~~.]

Great. How about I join you? Four hands are better than two!

[~~they are the actual worst~~ but she just beams and nods (even though he can't see it).]

Sure! I'mmm...by the stack of rubble that looks a bit like an upside down pegasus!

[is that even a landmark, morgan.]

[apparently yes.]

Ah, I know the one you mean. I'll be there in a jiffy!

[Beep, he hangs up. Only to appear by the upside-down pegasus!! ... Ten minutes later. He strolls up with his hands joined in his sleeves because... hey, it's been pretty cold lately. He glances around as he nears. Where's that other self of his...?]

[wow it's nice to have someone on her wavelength. who would've thunk that that would've worked...

regardless, he will find her sitting on top of said mound of upside down pegasus rubble. obviously. She's doing the very hard work of...looking around.

a hard worker, this one. but she kicks her legs idly until she notices him, and then she beams and waves.]

Heyyyy, Morgan! You made it!

[And she'll hop down to greet him, at least.]

I'm glad you're still in one piece after everything!

[He doesn't wave back, but he does brighten and beeline right over.]

Right back at you! Wish I could say the same for the apartments though, as much fun as it is to camp out with everyone again.

[And then suddenly. Serious face.]

But now that I'm here, I've got a confession to make. I didn't really come to help you gather things...! Though I can still do that too.

[and she peeeeers at him closely at that, blinking in some surprise.]

Whoa. You actually look pretty serious right now!

What is it?

[Scrutinize him all you want, other self, but his steely visage will not reveal his secret.]

I called you out here to give you... THIS!!

[HIS SLEEVES PART SUDDENLY TO REVEAL--]

[-- a can.]

Happy birthday!

[The can is tied shut by a relatively clean piece of string and buffed up to be as shiny as any apocalyptic can could hope to be. It's a little dinged up, but... hey, what can you do? He holds it out for her to take.]

[...????

A SUDDEN REVEAL OF--

a can oh. that's honestly enough to excited her anyway, because YEAH YEAH MORE FOOD?]

Great, that's--

[wait what did he say]

It's my birthday...?

[HOT DAMN, SO IT IS.]

It's my birthday! Oh, it's our birthday, huh? Ha ha ha, whoa, I totally forgot!

Wow, thank you! What a great surprise!

[yep taking that can now and holding it rather reverently PRESENTS]

[He only noticed while he was trying to get this whole shifted date business down. HOORAY FOR HIDDEN BLESSINGS.]

Ah ha ha. It's my pleasure! And a life-saver, as it turns out. I probably would have been crushed by the apartment coming down if I hadn't been out working on that. So... yep! Good day to be born.

[Good job, parents.]

Oh, whoa! I'm glad that you survived by looking for my present. Somehow, that makes it even more valuable, I think!

[+2 luck stat

......... but she hesitates on opening it for a moment.]

I don't have a gift for you though. I didn't even realize the day! Shouldn't this sort of thing be an even exchange...?

Mmm... I was thinking about it the other day, and... just being able to talk to you is like a gift in itself, isn't it? Normally we wouldn't even exist together! I'm really glad to have been able to meet you, so... that's enough for me, I think.

Wow, that's...

...Really sappy, ha ha! I mean, of course I feel the same way, but a line like that sounds like it could have almost come from Inigo's lips!

[but she's beaming at him, cheerful and bright-eyed. And she rummages in her cloak to produce--a magic tome!]

I've got it though!

[At which point she proceeds to rip out three pages, handing them over. Of course, they're blank, but--]

This is from the Bolganone tome that Father left behind. I know it's not really fair that you never get to meet my Robin, since I get the chance to meet yours, but...maybe this way you'll feel a little closer! And if you ever need them, that's an added bonus, right?

[The redness that tinges his face at her first statement fades as he watches her rip out the pages and listens to her speak.

Oh. Oh, no... His hands reach for the pages but stop partway, and he looks down at the blank paper with mounting realization before looking back up at her.]

Are... Are you sure? These are your father's...

[And he knows how much that means. Of course he does.]

[And she just shoves them right into his hands at his hesitation, beaming and nodding.]

Of course I'm sure, silly! I'm lucky enough to get to spend time with your mother, but it's such a shame you can't spend time with my father!

Soooo...this is a placeholder! Until you do get to, I mean.

Besides, it's a good spell, and it might keep you alive here, and I really don't want you to die!

[Ahhh...! He takes the pages and holds them close!!]

Then I'll take good care of these! I won't use them unless I absolutely have to.

[It'll be like carrying a little piece of the other Morgan and Robin around with him... but heck if he'll say that out loud. She'll just tease him again, won't she...? So he reaches into his robe and pulls out his own Fire tome, which he slips the pages into.]

Thank you! I mean it. I couldn't ask for a better present. But... augh. How is my crummy gift supposed to follow that?

[She giggles at that, looking amused and holding the can close. He's so cute when he blushes, oh no...what if she teases him more to see it--

Okay no, Morgan, no time for that, time for PRESENTS!!]

Well, you're the only one who remembered the day and came prepared, so I think you get top marks there!

[especially knowing their memories.]

Oooh, can I open it, though?

Of course! That's why I gave it to you. Unless a shiny can tied by a string was what you always wanted. In which case... whatever makes you happy, right?

[He ain't judgin'.]

[aw timeline twin you're such a bro--but she just grins, opening up the gift eagerly.]

No way! Gifts are waaaay better than cans with string! I'm so excited!
