Heading Off

As Jedo leaned back, throwing her hands above her head, she exhaled deeply. "Such a long day, but at least I don't have to deal with this stuff until after my birthday."

Blue, popping out of her pocket, inquired curiously, "Your birthday? When is that?"

"Oh, it's after the first arena, and we won't have another meeting until the third arena concludes, probably during the semifinals," Jedo explained, trying to relax despite the schedule ahead.

"Oh, okay wait, how old are you anyways?" Blue asked, fluttering slightly above the pocket.

Jedo chuckled and responded, "Only 20, how about yourself?"

"A few thousand years old, I think. I forgot about birthdays, to be honest. They kinda lose their flare after the first 200 birthdays," Blue mused with a whimsical tone.

"Wow, I didn't realize you were so old," Jedo said, her eyes wide with surprise.
