Birthday Time!

[nurturing]

Hello there, Noman's Land! This is Navigation Officer of SEEDS Ship 5, Rem Saverem, now broadcasting on a more personal note.

Today is my two wonderful boys' birthday, and since there's so many of them in this strange place right now, I figured this is the easiest way to reach as many as possible.

Happy birthday, Vash and Nai! I love you both so much, and if you have a moment feel free to stop by my station and I'll try to make a cake.








For everyone else out there, please take care and be safe. If it starts raining, be on the lookout for any flooding. If you need more information about the effects of heavy rain in dry climates, you can reach me on this radio designation.

[ The way he looks at her... it makes her heart clench and Rem leans into his arms again. ]

That'... a lot. I always saw you two my legacy. My boys. [ However, he's not wrong. She did everything she could. ]

[goldenglasses]

Then, I've done my best to live up to your legacy, Rem. I wanted to make that peaceful world for you.

[nurturing]

I'm so proud of you, Vash. I only wish it didn't cause you so much pain.

[ She never wanted her boys to suffer. Especially not while trying to fulfill her desires and ideals. ]

[goldenglasses]

It didn't cause me pain. [His body covered in scars says otherwise.] It's been an honor, Rem.

[ What a lie. Rem still smiles, though. Vash always seemed to hide his pain from her as much as he could, but she could tell. Mothers could always tell... and she's seen nothing but sad Vashes since she got here, burdened by her ideals.

It still makes her proud, don't get her wrong. It just seems to have done a lot of harm at the same time. ]

It's my honor, to have two wonderful children... and to see you grown, Vash.

I love you, Rem. [He can't help himself. He moves to hug her once again.] I've wanted to hear your voice for so long.

[He shouldn't ask. He shouldn't be so selfish.] Rem... would you? If it's not too much to ask, would you sing for me?

[nurturing]

[ She hugs Vash back, and when he asks her that she holds him there like she did when her boys were small, gently humming the melody to him. ]

"Soo... on the first celestial evening..."

[ ...and then she sings, light and comforting while one hand reaches up to stroke his hair. ]

[goldenglasses]

[He holds her tightly. A true smile spreading over his face as he just feels so... happy. This is all he's ever wanted for his birthday and had never dreamed possible. Her forgiveness and love is all he's ever wanted.

A tear of pure joy slips out of his eyes and down his face. He closes his eyes and basks in this moment. Wishing that it never ends.]
