[Huh. If it were someone else, Cass might think that was a joke in poor taste, maybe, or just someone being rude for the sake of it. She did just tell essentially the entire fleet that can't read, after all.
But Allen isn't rude in that way, not from what she's seen in his body language. It must just be an honest mistake.]
[Okay, that sounds pretty cool. Birthdays are important, right?]
I don't, um. [She doesn't want to tell him she's never had a birthday party, not when he probably feels bad enough for forgetting her inability to read. But how does she even put this?] I can help, but... don't know how. What should I do?
[YEAH HE FEELS A BIT BAD...but he gets what she's implying. He gets it honestly, his birthday falls on Christmas- how many birthday parties do you get outta that]
What should you do for a birthday?
[Hmmm, good question] Well, mostly it's about doing something nice for the person to show that you care! Like getting them a present or...a card? Or even just taking care of all the chores for them!
Things like that! Just something to show that her crew appreciates her.
We should be... finding new planet, soon. Might find gifts there.
[Because gifts are easy, she can do gifts. And she can look back at his first text to find the right spelling for her name, put that on a card and draw some flowers, that won't be hard. Chores are an abstract concept and she doesn't have the access to his body language that would fill the blank in for her, but she can ask someone else. She can definitely handle a birthday.]
There's a horse, here. He does parties. He'd have tips, so I'll ask. Thank you, for telling me. Ino is important.
[Gifts are AWESOME. But he smiles at hearing Cass. Yeah! He knew he could trust her to figure it out!]
Oh, the pony! That's a good idea- I'm sure he'll be able to give some good advice! [Sure he's nuts, but he has to admit he's more knowledgeable about this stuff than Allen is] And be sure to tell the rest of the crew too, please? Maybe you guys can work together to do something.
[Well...Cass and Dorian anyway. He's not putting any money on Nel]

I was just messaging to say that Ino's birthday is on the 23rd of this month?! I figured you'd be the best person in your crew to tell....
