[Sorry, Liem. But then his dilemma becomes who to bring if not Matt, who is already on the guest list...]
It would have to be a fairly big cake. You could arrange the candles in the shape of the number 122.
He looks shockingly good for his age.
[Is he surprised to learn that his friend is a centenarian and then some? Yes. But is he completely shocked? Not really. He already knew that Liem was half-vampire, and it stands to reason his heritage would grant him supernatural longevity. Powerful Grisha are the same way.]
