Lancelot wrinkles his nose a little at Faolan's frown, sensing his unease easily enough.
"Don't worry, I didn't go looking through everything they have on you. I just looked up the date -- I was curious! I've known you nearly six months and you've never mentioned it, I just wanted to know if I'd missed it. Turns out I had."
He flickers a wry smile, retrieves the coffee as the cycle finishes and begins to dig Faolan out a spoon and some sugar cubes.
"So, I may be nearly a month late... but, since you didn't do anything, does it matter?" Sliding the coffee onto the table beside Faolan he sets down the sugar cubes beside it, squeezes Faolan's shoulder in reassurance and lowers his voice as he leans in. "Happy birthday," he murmurs, and smiles before standing again and ruffling Faolan's hair a little. "I won't sing, I promise."
