( on the morning of his birthday in the lodge, Dimitri will undoubtedly have been showered with praise and love from his partners. waiting for the king in the kitchen is a beautifully wrapped hamper containing a plushie of a chonky round lion boi, a birthday card featuring flowers from the lakehouse garden - and finally, the showstopper gift.

Corrin requested something very special for Dimitri from the peacekeeper. as a throwback to their drunken misadventure a while back, it's ... well, something he'll have to solve a riddle to find! there is a hamper filled with wheels of many flavours of cheese, and on a piece of card reads the following: )

Happy birthday, Dimitri!
On your special day, you'll receive a gift: Me!
So, what do you say?

I will be your friend, if you would so please.
And in exchange I will give you the finest of cheese.
Or milk for your tea, whatever you dream,
Whether cake, or brownies, or tasty ice cream.

My guarantee to you, is whatever you eat,
Will taste hearty, bold, savoury or sweet.
I hope you enjoy this present to you.
Now come outside, Dimitri! I'm dying to meet you!

( and when Dimitri steps outside, he'll see .... a cow!!!! she has a big ribbon and bell wrapped around her neck!! the amenities for caring for her like brushes and such can be found in a bucket by the gate. Corrin will have explained in Dimitri's birthday card that she is a special cow, who produces dairy that Dimitri can taste very intensely and wonderfully, since he knows that the king struggles with his sense of taste. he now has access to dairy any time he wants, and a cute pet cow to snuggle on top of that!

Corrin will be excited to see his reaction, oh yes he will! )

[ It has been... quite overwhelming, he admits, the amount of attention he's received thus far. He had spent so long wishing he could be older. Now that he was, well, it felt strange to celebrate his life considering how little he'd yet to accomplish as king. Of course, everyone is quick to put him in his place about how ridiculous that is and Corrin is no exception.

He enjoys the lion, the card, and especially the cheese. He's actually eating a piece already - mm, fun texture good - as he reads the next bit left for him. A riddle, is it? What could be waiting for him outsi- ]

Cow. [ That's it, that's all he says at first. He looks back to the house and then to the cow again and then back and then to the cow and then beelines for the creature. Despite his large size and usually intimidating presence, she seems perfectly at ease with him.

She's perfect.

Corrin will get a selfie of Dimitri at some point with flowers in his hair and a crown upon the cow's neck. ]

Thank you, Corrin!
Her name is Bó.

I will take very good care of her.
