Oh, wow! How did you know it's my birthday? [Okay, so his surprise is... Clearly faked, but his enthusiasm is wholly sincere. Being reminded that the days still move forward and they can make time for milestones like this- it's helping him feel grounded with all this ultra beast craziness going on around them.]
[...and in the middle of their embrace, Mycroft takes the opportunity to crawl across Winston's arm and perch himself onto Ray's shoulder. Planting an inquisitive paw on Ray's face, his ears and nose twitch as he looks over this strange man and his even stranger "pikachu", studying both their features thoughtfully.]
"Peek. Peek." [Mycroft mutters, in a voice distinctly- almost distressingly- deeper than you'd expect coming from a pikachu.] "Chu."
