[He nods. He doesn't know everyone here as well as he used to know everyone back home-- and thank god for that. But, he could probably make some educated guesses of his own.]

... just between you and me, pal, this was my birthday before I died. And then I spent so long resetting. This is the first time it's been my birthday in ages. [And even then, it's not really his. 'Flowey' doesn't have a birthday.]

[seacub]

So...it doesn't feel like a birthday, is what you're saying?

[Or, hmm. He thinks about that again for a moment.] Or I guess...

It wouldn't feel like a birthday used to, right?

[friendlyflower]

... Yeah, I guess. [It feels childish to say. His last birthday, he and Chara had...

... they're back, but his past self isn't.]

... am I supposed to just grow up now? Become an adult? After so long?

[seacub]

Mmm.

I wouldn't think so?

[He shrugs. He admittedly has a unique perspective on this, but...]

I don't think it's as easy as 'just growing up' or 'just becoming an adult' anyway. There's not really a button people press when they turn 18, or 21, and so on. There's definitely adults who are less 'adult' than some kids, [he says with confidence, despite how few people he's met are even kids.]

...So I guess, you just go where things take you. No expectations or parameters.

[friendlyflower]

... Gee, you sure are mature for your age. [He says, despite also being a kid.] Yeah. I guess you're right. Thanks, Emporio.

[seacub]

[The cubone just shrugs, seeming more uncertain than anything.] I can only take your word for it, but...thanks.

It makes more sense to move forward anyway I think. ...No one stays the same forever. Not even if they live forever, I'm pretty sure.

[There's a somewhat meaningful look to Flowey, as he says that. He doesn't know about 'Asriel', not really. He doesn't know much about...any of that. He just knows that Flowey has lived a very, very long time, a time filled with reset after reset, that he ultimately did a lot of 'bad' in.

And that here in a world without resets, he's been making an effort, the same way Anasui has. To...be a little better, at least.]

wrapped? :O

[friendlyflower]

[This... gives him something to think about. What does his future look like, now that he has one?

With people like Emporio and Chara around, it might not be so bad to figure it out.

Flowey turns the conversation to other, light topics for a chat. And if Emporio shows up to his birthday... he GUESSES he'll put up with it. He can get his revenge in February, after all.]
