Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
[ In the kitchen on this day, Cilan will find a pot of flowers similar to alstromerias in appearance, along with a wrapped box and a card sitting right next to them. The card has his name on it, and... gosh, this all almost looks like a present, doesn't it?
That's because it is, with the box even reading 'for your birthday'. However, the card reads under his name 'Read this today'. And if he does... ]
Cilan,
Happy birthday. That's what I want to write, but I don't know the exact day your birthday falls on. I just remember that it's sometime this month because you told me after it had passed. You told me too you don't want to celebrate it because it reminds you of your brothers and how far you are from them.
I didn't want to push it then, but it's made me sad to think you're going to feel like that again when it does. I don't want your birthdays to be that way. I want you to be able to celebrate them: Your birthday, and your brothers. No matter where you all are, you'll always have this day.
I won't force you to tell me the day or your feelings to change... but I hope you will. I really want to say happy birthday to you on the right day. I picked your present thinking about your brothers and how you want to share this day with them.

[ Will Cilan open the present early or on the right day? Or will he refuse it. ]
[Cilan is not going to refuse it... but he is going to wait until the actual day of his birthday to open the gift. Until then, the flowers are well taken care of, placed in a spot where they can get the best amount of sunlight and care, and he spends quite some time just looking at them with his Pokemon too until March 25th arrives.
In which case, he will then return his attention to the present at hand, ready to open it and see what it is...]
[ It's a camera, old-fashioned by the standards of cameras they're used to back home, but modern and up to date by what they're using in Verens. It comes with its own case and little tidbits, the film necessary and also a photobook to go with it.
Because hey, what's the usual way of collecting memories than a good old camera? ]
[ Give him a second, and the realisation will come with a flush, warm feeling over the link, turning giddy and even somewhat embarrassed all at once. Should he say it? Is it okay? ]
Happy birthday, Cilan!
[ Cilan's messaged him, so it should be okay, and it might not be how birthdays work (when it's not your birthday), but this feels like a nice treat in return. ]
[ And that's exactly what Red got to listen to once a place was found and they had a nice night out!! It wasn't 5-star high class reserves only because that's far too late, but hey

As such, he soon sends a brief message to Red.]
Thank you for the thoughtful gift you left for me! It has a favorable taste, I'd say.
[... And given that today is the actual date of his birthday, there's your confirmation to know this now.]

at least he didn't suggest From The Hearth. ]
