[Elias has probably known about Reira's AMA with the now named 'neapoliteens'- to be clear, he's probably known about it ahead of time. Reira talks to him every day in that room after all- no matter the incident of the day, she makes sure there's some time to come down and talk about normal things, about school, friends, home, or whatever else Elias seems to like talking about, before they play some games together.
The AMA goes well- and on the one hand; Reira's not exactly one to cut corners on the deity's flaws.
On the other, it seems that's worked quite well to his benefit; beyond an intensely loyal friend and pseudo-sibling, it turns out that when people find out the local cloud of gray sent out a hit order on some poor kid's big brother, before said kid was carefully tucked in and protected by a stand-in computer, they warm up to the idea of Elias being kinda cool.
Which is to say, it seems the AMA has become some free- if not well needed- PR. Even among the Fog's lot.
Reira excitably yammers about it, and while she does sound a bit disappointed that most people were more interested in Elias- ('It wasn't your AMA...if anyone knows answers about you it's you they could just ask...')- she was still happy to share. ('...I'm glad I got to tell people what was important though.')
There's just.
One.
Thing. (Other than all of that of course.)]
AHHH- [She just realized something. Looking fairly distraught, she turns to Elias- or at least, where it feels like Elias is for real. He's not in the body after all.] I've never asked when your birthday is..!!
That's...I've missed so many then..! I always come and celebrate christmas and nattensfest with you, but I never asked when your birthday is....
[In her defense; everything else is wildly celebrated. Birthdays...those have been fewer and farther between, with hers only really standing out because people made it stand out.]
I have to get you so many presents... ....ah.
[Another thought occurs- one that came up with her friends rather recently in fact.] ...Hey Elias?
...You'll always be older than me, right?
[It feels too strange, the idea of Elias becoming the younger one. Strange, and sad.]
[BACKDATED (bc I need less reactive stuff Hfff)]
