That's a lot of candles (OTA, Backdated to March 14)
Another year had crept up on the vampire. He wasn't particularly fond of his birthday anymore. It was just another reminder of staying the same and the rest of the world getting older without him. Kind of a depressing thought if he dwelt upon it too much. But at the same time, all things would happen as they were warrant to. The Buddhists had perfected the idea of living in the now and he tried to follow the same philosophy. So he decided to spoil himself a little bit and take the day off from helping to run the affairs of both the Nest and the Night Council both.
He started off by getting a cupcake from a smaller, lesser-known shop and taking a walk down to a local park to eat it. He spun the daylight ring around his finger, wondering about how different his life had been a year ago. He'd had no girlfriend, no real position of power in the Nest, and had not been content with his lot in life at all. Now, he had almost all he could wish from life. He was determined to enjoy it for as long as possible. Life was always warrant to change on a dime.
He spent most of the day wandering through London, visiting his favorite places. London's as much his home as anywhere else in the world is. His mood was bit subdued, but ranged more towards thoughtful than melancholy. Eventually, as the day dimmed and turned to night, he returned to his home.
