[Clove grins at the message. She can't help it. Sure, dinner wasn't great, the dress was horrifying, and the plans were quiet, but...
Cato remembered her birthday. That's more than enough.
And Ikki, too?
It doesn't even bother her that she can't ever return to Panem. That she'll never have another birthday there. She smiles over the Journal, obviously stretched out on the ground with the book propped up.]
[ She'd talked to him about the whole plan thing, of course, although mostly what had been accomplished there was finding out Clove's birthday; Ikki was happy to see it'd gone well, though. ]
Everyone deserves a happy birthday, and I really just wanted to make sure yours was. [ She laughs, then. ]

Happy Birthday, Clover!!! I drew you a cake, but I didn't know how many candles to put.
[ She'll hold up the picture at this point, which can be seen here ]

Thanks, Ikki. I'm seventeen, now.

I'll add some candles for that, and give you the picture later, then! Does seventeen feel lots different from sixteen?

[She makes herself keep smiling. Not really think about Ikki's question.]
I don't think so. But that might just be because it's new, right?

Did you do anything fun?

Although I guess you still have some birthday left to go, huh?
