Broadcast: Fleetwide/Video
Action: First Breath or her temp job at the office of manifests and inventory
When: Wednesday evening

Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for finding cooking ingredients. I'd like to make a cake, chocolate cake. There's an occasion coming up and I'd like to be able to share something special for it.

So any direction would be appreciated.

[Private to Tyrion]

I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me, it's for my birthday this week. I thought since I am away from home maybe I could go with friends and so far that list is mostly you and Remus.

[ Nova walks by wherever Lily is, and then back tracks when she sees her ]

You're making a cake?

action / first breath

[gifted_witch]

I hope to, yes.

[Lily was cleaning the lab, mostly just dusting and putting things in order really.]

It's my birthday, I'd like to make a cake for everyone.

[takeabow]

[ Nova's just hanging out in the doorway mostly ]

Today is your birthday?

[gifted_witch]

No, it's a few days away. That's why I was hoping to get things ahead of time. So I could be sure to get them all by my birthday. Saturday, I guess, going by the calendar here.

[takeabow]

It's generous of you to make your own birthday cake.

[gifted_witch]

I can't expect anyone else to make it for me, hardly anyone here knows me very well. But still, I always wanted to have a big party when I turned 18. I just didn't think I would miss six months of my life getting there. It was only July back home.

[takeabow]

Wow... that's quite the leap.

But honestly, I don't even know how old I am anymore.

[gifted_witch]

Well, you're welcome to share my birthday if you like.

[takeabow]

Thank you, but I think I can probably wait until May. It's just, I'm not really sure what age I was when I got to Aather, how much time really passed there, and if anything changed coming here.

It's weird to think about.

[gifted_witch]

That is weird, no offense. I don't want to lose too much time. Or maybe I just want to know how long I've been here for when I get home.

[takeabow]

If only they'd let us know.

[gifted_witch]

How do they stop you?

Private

[tallasaking]

Why Miss Lily Evans, are you asking if I would like to join you and Remus in your birthday revels?

[takeabow]

Oh, I just mean, drop a line. Give us a report on how time works.

[gifted_witch]

Oh! Maybe that's something we can ask for. I noticed a date when I was filing manifests for the ships. It's a decent job while we're docked.

Private

[gifted_witch]

I haven't asked Remus yet, but yes I am.

[takeabow]

Maybe. I just think it'd be more complicated with me.

[gifted_witch]

[Lily nodded, but it seemed unfortunate to have to wonder.] I think there is a lot about you that is complicated, by others anyway.

[takeabow]

You got that right.

[ she pushes off of the doorframe ]

Is there anything I can help you with?

[gifted_witch]

I was just straightening up a bit. But there are some jars over there that need to be put away. [She gestured with her elbow to a small collection of beaker and containers and the to a cabinet overhead.]

[takeabow]

All right.

[ goes to put the jars away, letting the silence exist ]

Private

[tallasaking]

I shall be delighted to attend. [He bows solemnly, before he smiles.] I shall have to see about getting you an appropriate gift, naturally.

[Voice]

[misterprongs]

[ he's walking through the station, so voice it is ]

You can't possibly mean to make your own birthday cake.

[gifted_witch]

I meant to thank you, again. For the tour when I first arrived.

[Voice]

[gifted_witch]

[She had expected this.]

Well it isn't as though my mum is here and I haven't seen a house elf yet. So why shouldn't I? Oh, if you should see Remus before I do, could you ask him to get in touch with me?
