What are the birthday traditions on your home planets?

[ jyn hasn't celebrated a birthday in something like... fifteen years so to say she's out of practice would be a gross understatement. she tells herself this is cultural anthropology, her mother would be proud. TIME TO LEARN, time to attempt to live like a normal human being... ]

i think there's cake. and people throw you a party and give you presents. i hope i have one someday, it seems nice.

[realists]

You've never had a birthday?

[ oh no ]

[foxtrots]

no. i don't know the exact day that i was born on, just the season.

i keep meaning to choose a day though! not for the presents or anything, just so i can tell people that i'm grateful for the day that i was born so i could meet them.

I don't think you need an exact day. Especially since you have an entire season to tell people that.

[foxtrots]

i never thought of it that way.

[and it's nice. he likes the way you think!]

when is your birthday?

[realists]

Winter

[ u see what she did there ]

[foxtrots]

i love winter.

i like it even more now, because someone nice was born then.

[realists]

I hate winter. It's cold and deadly and everything is dead.
