[That question actually earns a genuine pause, Steph looking somewhat like a confused puppy as she does some mental math.]
Not to make you feel special, but congrats on being the first person to make me realize I'm technically twenty one now. If we're counting months from when I left home, not when my birthday month is.
[It makes more sense to her that it should be counted as a progression of months, rather than sticking to an arbitrary date when those dates didn't line up with how it was back home. So enough of them have passed that were she at home, her birthday would have rolled around.
It should maybe be weird that she missed it, but birthdays have never been much of a thing, in her life. Her parents would forget more often than not, when she was little, and while Crystal is making more of an effort now, it's hard to undo years of neglect.
(She doesn't think about the false memories from last month. She's gotten very good at not thinking about that.)]
Anyway, I think Robin would tell you that serving alcohol and drinking it are different. Still probably illegal? I never checked, it's not as if we signed employment contracts.
[The bar is basically for money laundering and a cover to eavesdrop on criminals; they aren't doing things by the book.]
