We've been getting gifts delivered to the palace all week now-- even more so than usual, because nobody is coming for a celebration themselves. It's mostly artwork or heirlooms; they're never personal, obviously. Yesterday we received an antique vase that looks good in the portrait hall, but other than that, nothing has been all that interesting or of note.

I'll be off-world, and I'll be going out to a spa with someone in the afternoon, but other than that I have nothing planned. It'll seem odd for my birthday to just be like any other day, especially since it's my sixteenth.

Is this what it's like for commoners?

I'm going to a spa with someone.

Oh! Spa day! That's good, the spa is really relaxing. Make them get you a cake and nobody can say you didn't have a real birthday!

You go to the spa?

Yeah! Well... not as much as my mom or my sister, but...

Hm.

Anyway, I don't think I'm getting a cake. I don't even know where I'd buy one there.

You usually buy them at bakeries.

Well, yes, I had assumed that. I don't know where there are any, though, and it's harder to get around in the suburbs than in a city.

Who are you going to the spa with?

Someone.

Aw, come on! I know like, nobody! Anyone who goes to a spa is someone I probably should know.

Plenty of people go to spas.

Yeah, but I don't know anyone here that does! You're the first person I've heard say something like that!

So ask around. I'm not a tour guide.

...Okay, I will!

Really.
