Kino sat up and looked at him for a moment. There was consideration written all over her face as she pondered the question. Many dates flashed in her mind, all not quite right.
"I... am not really sure anymore..." she started. "Its been many years since I've celebrated it."
"Oh..." Hermes sounded disappointed.
"I do remember that the day we started traveling was my birthday. But I don't know the date." Kino looked back at Hermes and smiled. "You're the best present I ever got."
If a motorrad could blush, he would be doing so now. Instead, his embarrassment was heard in his meek voice. "Really, Kino?"
"Really." She said as she got up from the bed and sat down on her partner. She ran her fingers over his cool handlebars, coming down to his smooth gas tank, then back up to pat his headlight. If they weren't inside of a building, Kino would love to have cranked him up a little, just to hear the comforting purr of his motor. Instead, she just yawned and dismounted.
"Tomorrow we leave this country, so we better get our rest."
Just as she was in her bed, Hermes spoke again. "Oh and Kino? Happy birthday."
Kino opened her mouth to reply, "But, today's not my..." Suddenly, she just laughed and shook her head. "Ah, thank you Hermes."
