It had admittedly been a while since Carmin had last spoken to Ferret. The school year was coming to an end and he’d been busy with his work, so he hadn’t thought too much of it. Until her birthday rolled around at least. When Ferret hadn’t shown up well passed the agreed upon time and failed to answer his text or phone call, he began to grow a bit concerned.

He made his way back to the dorms in a hurry, speed walking while carefully holding on to a gift bag. For once he wasn’t wearing the school uniform, having bought a blue tee shirt and white shorts specifically for the occasion.

It took him a bit but he finally got to her dorm room after some time and knocked on her door. He wasn’t really sure what was going on or how worried he should be. He just hoped she’d answer the door and he’d find out she slept in super late or something.

To put it entirely bluntly, Ferret was a complete and utter wreck. She'd spent the better part of the last week holed up in her dorm room aside from purely necessary things like classes, laying around and wallowing in the toxic mindset that had arisen for her. The room was a disaster too, assorted trash and wrappers strewn haphazardly around the floor.

When she heard the knock, Ferret slowly turned her head to stare at the door, contemplating for a solid ten seconds whether it was worth it to even get up and answer, before finally dragging herself up with a groan to shuffle over. After she opened it up, Carmin was met with an exceptionally disheveled dragon girl, normally silky hair a rat's nest, dark bags under her eyes, and all manner of food stains on her clothing.

Immediately when she saw him, she recoiled back slightly behind the door, looking down at the plant boy with a furrowed brow. "...What're you doing here?"

Carmin had a look of concern on his face before he even saw Ferret, but when he finally saw her it got worse. She didn’t look good. A quick look was enough to tell him that this likely wasn’t a matter of her sleeping in.

“What am I doing here? What are you doing here? It’s your birthday, remember?” He held up the gift bag in his hand as if to remind her. “I was waiting for you but you never showed up. I tried calling you but you wouldn’t pick up your phone either. That’s why I’m here.”

"Birthday? I..." Ferret shook her head a few times, rubbing at her temple roughly and groaning as the realization hit her. It actually was the sixteenth. She mumbled, running a hand through her hair and looking away from him. "Days have been kinda blending together, I guess..."

Glancing back over her shoulder at the wreck that was her room, she moved a little to not so subtly try and block what he could see of it with her body. "I'll just have a birthday next time or something. Don't worry about it, alright? I'm fine. Don't need anything, feeling....I'm feeling fine."

Did Ferret seriously forget about it that easily? She lost track of time that badly? The way she mumbled and her body language was telling him there was more to this than that.

When she blocked the entrance, Carmin felt a sudden need to see what was hiding in her room. He tried and failed to not so subtly look around her before looking back at her face with a somewhat grumpy expression. “That’s not true. I can tell.” The grumpiness changed into a more sad look on his face. “You’re not supposed to be all sad and alone on your birthday. That’s not how these things work.”

Ferret tensed up significantly after Carmin's initial response, then more so with the second part, snapping reactively at him. "I'm not fucking sad!" Her eyes were wide, the dark circles under them on even more obvious and full display. She stared down at him for a few moments before she started to crack, her lip quivering slightly.

There was, of course, a reason she was so defensive about this, but even so she felt guilty for reacting that way. "Sorry. I'm sorry. You shouldn't be helping me though. I didn't..." Her voice faltered, and she rubbed at her eyes hard with her sleeve. "Y-you should just go have fun with everyone."

Carmin winced as Ferret snapped at him, but it was short lived. Judging by the dark circles under her eyes and the reaction afterward, he wasn’t going to be taking it personally. He looked up with a bit of a poker face as he tried to make sense of what was really going on.

“No, I’m not gonna just leave you here like this.” He sighed. “Look, you don’t need to tell me why you’re upset, but you’re not allowed to spend your first birthday here all alone. Besides, I’m starting to have a hard time lugging this around.” He once again held up the gift bag, which did in fact appear to be a bit of a struggle.
