Happy Birthday, Roger! by @lynne (Lynne)

Today is Roger's birthday! It's also Ascension Day this year. Yes, that's a moveable feast.

But since Vivi moved in, and all the headvoices got excited--FRESH BLOOD--pretty much the only way they expressed that excitement was through joint musical endeavours. Finally getting thoroughly sick of the violin (for some reason, he's never liked it much, though his father and I were adamant fiddlers; probably it just wasn't his thing) Roger decided to take up the cello. I think I mentioned it to him, when I was telling him how string orchestras were put together, and while a double bass would've been FAR too large for somebody as relatively small as Roger is, he became enchanted with the idea of the cello and tossed himself into trying to learn it.

For the record, I have no idea how old this kid is. He WAS going to be two years old this year, but since he left and then came back, he was much older when he came back. I think part of the reason for that was that's what all the other smeets in everybody else's heads did... like Lyra and Eve, and they used to be his friends when they were all little.

So, happy birthday Roger. ^-^ You're still my baby.
