[video] Happy Birthday, Laura!
[Laura has not really been on the network much, since the kidnappings had happened. She had been scarce in general; just because she was held captive all her life, after all, did not make it any easier to be thrust back into that terrible sort of world. But now she's back and has at least had some time to try and heal from those nasty little metaphoricalwounds, chewing on her pencil thoughtfully before lowering it and smiling a little from where she sits at a table in the community housing..]
I am twelve now... I have never had a birthday before, so I am not sure what to do other than to say so; since I have been here for a year now, I have decided that August is my birth month.
[She grins a bit, rather impish.]
And since I do not have the exact day, I guess every day in August will have to be my birthday. Gracias.
[LAURA NO—
Oh, the feed ended on that note.
Guess August is National Laura Month, so sorry.]

[Well, so much for trying not to swear?]

In a way, it is like I was born into a new life here, so it only seemed — right.
[... A pause.]
You don't have to avoid cursing around me.

You have twelve years to make up for. An entire month seems, after all, only just and proper.
[video]
It does feel like I have to catch-up sometimes. I am trying my best, though.

[A wide smile from her before she gives a little hum.]
Does that mean you'll be trying a different flavour of cake every day as well?
video
[... It's so nice to hear it out loud. The nurses would sometimes whisper it to children at Transigen, especially after the birthday incident that left them off the table... but someone openly saying it, and sounding so warm about it? A wonderful thing.]
There are so many flavors, I guess I should. I don't really have a lot of things I dislike eating.
... Except banana.

I think you have chosen well. May I offer a small suggestion? You should also decide one day of the month, to be even more special than all the others. There are holidays like this, in my homeland.
Winternight is celebrated for a full week, leading to a fancy ball on the last night, which is the longest of the year. It can be great fun, when there is just one day that is the jewel, above all the rest.

There are so many to choose from in a month.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! [She's now making a mental note to get Laura a gift.]
Second, how are you going to celebrate? Are you going to do one big party to celebrate the entire month? Or mini-parties throughout the month?
video
[She feels nice, hearing that sort of thing. It's new and strange — but nice.]
... I am not sure. I've never had a party before. It is easier to just meet friends somewhere nice, I guess. But I am not used to having many friends in one place, here.

Every day, hmm?
That's certainly a lot of presents!

People do not have to get that many.
But International Laura Month is very long.

Does this mean we've gotta get you a gift for every day of the month?

But I would not complain.
