LU 143 - Space 28

I decided that since I was done with mayoring stuff, I had some time to kill. I went over to Vice's new place, and waited for him to come home. Sure enough, he came in with Hallthor and I greeted them both. Vice seemed baffled to see me in his home, but was more upset to see me in general. He lashed out out at me, telling me to leave so he could celebrate Hallthorr's birthday; really Vice? You're with Frezz for a couple months and you think you can stand up to me? Ha, I need to put this kid in his place.
I pushed to stay and celebrate with them, and Vice reluctantly caved. Hallthorr wasn't too thrilled about it, but I told the kid to keep his nose out of my business. Then I had a word with Vice alone, where I learned why he was so upset with me: he learned that I was 500 years old.
For fucks sake, does everyone who joins the tree group learn about my age? Instead of diving into the subject, Vice aksed me to cool my jets so we could celebrate Hallthorr's birthday. Seeing as I haven't been apart of a birthday in over 500 years, I let him do it. We went into this honey-filled room, and did the whole birthday routine with Hallthorr. I felt a bit awkward not bringing a gift, so I handed Hallthorr a totem I had on me as a kind of "hey, I tried". 
He seemed to really enjoy the gift, and gave me a warm smile. I... actually felt happy for the kid. I rarely feel happiness anymore, but something about him being overcome with joy because of something I did; I had to take a second to collect my thoughts. Vice seemed less thrilled about this, but I told him that this was proof that I did care for him and Hallthorr (a lie, but y'know what works, works). 
Then Vice passed out, I'm assuming from stress. Hallthorr began to tell me to leave, and I put my foot down. Who the hell does this kid think he is, telling me what to do? After bringing up our past with Vice, the kid went to bed. I took this chance to slip into bed next to Vice and catch some shuteye.
