Despite her Big Stompy Boots(tm) Kaat is remarkably sneaky when she wants to be, so her voice from just behind his right ear may come as something of a surprise. "Well, well. Look who's survived another year."
There is the patented "yelp, flail, and send your papers scattering" that happens every time someone does that to him. Unless it's Pete, in which case he's usually expecting it. Don't ask me how.
"You know, the whole birthday thing? The day where people give you presents just because you've managed to keep breathing another 365 days?" Kaat pokes him in the side with a sparkly-nailed finger.
"Oh, that. There's a reason I never did any of that. -- Here. Just because you can't be bothered to remember your birthday doesn't mean the rest of us won't." Kaat produces a gift wrapped box complete with sparkly silver ribbon from her bag and offers it. Inside is a bottle of really excellent red wine.
