[ It may seem silly but it's important to her. The day her friends were born is... special. It marks the day they start to exist and that ultimately that existence collided with her own in a good way.
Sometimes she has to thank Haven for that much, at least. All these people of different worlds and perspectives she never would have met otherwise. ]
Why? Not planning on a surprise party, are you? 'Cause I can tell you now, if it's May 8th, you've got a while. And if I'm still actually here come birthday time? I'm gonna be really shitty company.

[ That's... understandable. For a second, she debates saying anything at all. But this was part of that 'honesty' thing she said she'd act on more often with him.
Why did she ever say that again? ]
It's technically my second birthday in this place and I think I'm still pretty peppy, all things considered. So you never know.
[ ... Mm. It's not unexpected but is a little disheartening still. If he really doesn't want to tell her, that's fine. It'd be the pot calling the kettle black to feel hurt about it, anyway. ]
Sort of. They're letting me out as long as I promise to be good.
... Well, knowing me, I can't promise anything. But I've gone like a whole two days since being seriously maimed or injured. It's a record or something.

Oh shit. Hey, happy birthday. Ignore me being an asshole, just then.
no subject
[ Duly ignored, Peter. He's lucky she's actually really kind of cool. ]
Thanks though. Don't worry, I don't expect anything. ... Most people don't even know, so.

[ Did you think she was giving up on this? ]
What did you even have in mind? Haven isn't ideal for birthday parties, in case you haven't noticed.

Depends! Did you ever get ungrounded by your friend?

See? All the more reason to celebrate, right?

Not that she... actually cares if she celebrates her birthday at all. ]

Part of her says no. The other part says that he bandaged up her bleeding stump of a hand when it was first cut off and, so, yeah. She trusts him.
Still. ]
... Fine. But if you don't tell me when it is, prepare to be ignored. For at least, like. A month.

A month? That's kinda harsh, don't you think?

Damn. Alright, then, you drive a seriously hard bargain.
Where are you right now?
