[But her eyes brighten as she takes the box, careful with it as if she's transporting precious cargo.]
Aw, Jun. Thank you. I'll call Ragna to tell him thank you, too! Neither of you needed to, but it's really sweet.
no subject
[He'll stand by as she takes the box, not letting go of the telekinetic hold until he's sure she's got a good hold of it]
I'm sure he'll like that. [No he won't] Varian did most of the baking, so I'm sure it'll be delicious.
Oh, and there should be a pack of candles in the box. Traditionally, you put some candles in the cake and light them. Then you make a wish and blow them out.
Don't tell anyone of your wish though, or it won't come true. Those are the birthday rules.
no subject
[A pause.]
Ah, I'll call Varian too! Maybe I'll ask him for the recipe, I wanna try baking a cake myself sometime. [She grins.] I know about that tradition, don't worry. I've had a few birthdays before, I'm not so young that I don't know all the traditions.
[Her smile does slip a little, some sadness flickering in her eyes. She shrugs.]
...I don't know if even birthday magic could make my wish come true. I tried with the skeleton, and it didn't really work.

He pauses at March's sadness. He's not entirely sure what's going on, but he can guess. He knows March wants answers about her past. He'll reach over, giving a pat on the shoulder]
... Don't give up hope. Sometimes, the birthday wishes take awhile to come true. One of mine took a decade before it did.
I'm sure yours will one day too. Just keep at it.

[It's so pretty! She wants to bake so many cakes herself, for the people she loves.
At Shroud's reassurance, the sadness fades into something lighter.]
Yeah, you're right! The Garden's block can't hold it back forever. One day I'll find something out, and that'll be a really good birthday present. [Meanwhile the player stares down the barrel of upcoming Amphoreus updates and gulps.] Oh, what was your birthday wish that took a while to come true?
1/2
[Because he KNOWS how time consuming teaching someone to bake can be, and he KNOWS his boyfriend wouldn't think to ask for payment himself. He's not sure if March would pay in money or in boba, but anything was better than nothing.
He feels relieved when he sees March lightens up, since it means he said the right thing. He can't blame her for being upset about the loss of her memory but.... March is the kind of person just made you feel better if they were happy. Like the sun peeking out of the clouds]
That's the spirit. And when you do, make sure you get a treat for yourself - it's important to have a treat after you accomplish a mission.
[Whether it's to celebrate finding out who she is or to console the pain from finding out who she is, the post-mission treat was essential as far as Jun was concerned]
2/2
He remembered a hostess cupcake sitting in front of him, with a candle pushed into it. Abel had wanted to give Jun a normal birthday so badly- but his attempted to bake a cake had backfired (as it always did), and the only shops open at this time on Christmas Eve were gas stations. He remember Abel explaining the birthday wish to him cheerfully as he lit the candle, right before he yelped because he'd underestimated how fast matches burns and the flames had reached his finger.
And he remembered starting at the candle intently, incredulous if the tradition had any merit... but at the same time, it was worth a try, wasn't it? Abel had been so persistent to give Jun a chance to do this, there must be something to it.

Sorry, but I can't say. Birthday wishes are secrets, so it might stop coming true if I say it.
["I wish my siblings were here"]

Post-mission treats are very important! March knows this well, having been a part of the Astral Express since...about as far back as she can remember, really. She wonders if that's her mission now that she's here: to try and remember her past, and to live as well as she can here, in the meantime. The latter is a lot easier than the former, at any rate.]
Ice cream cupcakes. There's this super-fancy bakery that sells one that's topped with gold leaf—I'll have that as my treat, if ever I remember anything. [If.]
It's still coming true? That's great! Ah, what can I do to get some of that really good birthday luck to visit me? [She pouts so, so hard at him.]
no subject
He'll nod, making a note of that. ]
When you do. I'll even pay for them myself. [So there!!]
... I couldn't tell you, I don't know which god manages birthday wishes. [What a non-answer] I'll let you return to your evening.... Happy birthday, March.
