[ judging by the way daylight’s winglets literally spring up behind him in utter, utter joy, he seems pretty excited by the offer. a birthday party? full of fun and excitement and celebration for someone? it's been decades since he saw one celebrated in the terran way, so he's excited by the idea!
but- okay- he tries to play it cool. he knows how precious these sort of memories are to the ones who own the opals. more than ever with the possible knowledge/confirmation that they won't be going home if they help this world. daylight, at least, knows it's a big thing when someone offers to let you see one of theirs.
... the keyword here being 'tries' because he lets out a breathless sound of glee and, then, a breathless breath of words: ] Ohmygoshyesplease!
[ ... ahem. keep trying, day. ] If only you really want to, Mr. Hughes. [ day smiles here, softer and sweeter, while he has his winglets pull back down to something more relaxed and calm. ] It's really nice of you to offer - and I would love to know more about your family! But only if you're really comfortable with the idea.
