The last thing on Seifer's mind when he woke up was what day it was. Most of what was on his mind was that he was cold and wanted some breakfast. Maybe he'd be lazy and not run before eating today. That was a choice he could make now, to not jog two miles first thing. He could just not do that. It was a strangely liberating thought. He could just not and there would be no one to reprimand him for it.

Quietly he picked his way through the house, gingerly stepping over the Julia obstacle who seemed to magically appear every time she detected breakfast might be made soon. The question of what to make was soon answered by a mysterious package on the counter, with everything he could want to make a batch of pancakes. And... candles? It took him far longer than it should have to figure out the purpose of the 1 and 9 shaped candle in the box before it finally dawned on him what day it was. Evidently someone cared a hell of a lot more about it being his birthday than he did.

Strange.

And so soon enough should his roommates become curious they'd find him making up a batch of blueberry pancakes, the candles set off to the side for now. He'll go enjoy those in private, later, wondering which one of them even thought about doing such a thing. Rinoa, had to be Rinoa, why would Nida care? Hopefully she didn't plan on making it a bigger thing than it had to be. He was just pleased someone cared to remember at all.
