Yes and yes! Apologies will not go well, but at least he probably won't be violent about it. I'll be sure to leave an open prompt for Bertie to tag into, unless you put up something and Dustin finds him first!

As for birthday things--Dustin will mention that they're typically important, but he doesn't particularly care. I imagine Zoe will take this as a "yes." I have a closed prompt in mind for other things involving Zoe, too, so maybe the topic can come up then! Dustin's gotta thank her for putting up with his mopy bum again.
