Is it your birthday, Professor Hastings? ["Strange to be a year older" indeed. Don't think she missed that. She's plotting birthday cake already.]

As for the time spent here changing me, I would be lying if I said I hadn't changed. I like to think that it's for the better, but... well, not all changes come easily. I suppose only time will tell.

But I also can't say I regret any of the changes, either. Every moment here has been so very worth it.

[When you're facing horrible sickness and death as an alternative, it really does wonders for appreciation of Luceti, after all.]

[Oh, right, he... hadn't actually told anybody that. Robert sounds a little shy when he responds initially.]

Ah... yes, it is, Doctor Faye-Ling... I, er, apologize for not having informed you previously...

[At the rest of her statement, though, he pauses. Litchi has always seemed to be more positive about Luceti than many of the other people he's met. He wonders exactly why, on some level. Perhaps, like him, she has little else left for her at home.]

... Yes... changes never come easily. ... Especially not here, where... many of them have been significant ones...

[She gives a soft, but cheerful laugh.]

No, that's perfectly fine. I tend to find out this way more often than not. Is there anything you'd like? I can make you whatever kind of cake you like best.

And you're very right. A lot of the changes have certainly been significant. [She's all but lost track of all the major changes in her life since she first arrived.] That said, though, I feel like all the changes I've been through have been for the better.

[Oh, that's an interesting one. Robert was going the pie route for himself (but knowing his friends he's going to get a lot of cake)...]

Ah... [A little shy, here:] Well, cheesecake - is uncommon on Terra, but... seems quite nice... especially with blueberry.

... Or there is "angel food" cake... [Chocolate's nice too...] ... I suppose it is difficult to decide.

... As for the changes... well, I hope so in my case. I think at least some have been beneficial...

[One blueberry cheesecake and one angel food cake it is. You can't accuse the woman of not spoiling her friends. Both small, of course - too much cake is a possibility - but she's got this covered.]

I think I can manage that.

And I'm sure at least some of your changes have been beneficial. From what I've seen, this place seems to have mainly positive effects on everyone. It... isn't easy, of course, but we do seem to all become stronger for it. [Don't judge, she loves this place. :c]

[Softly:] You... d-do not need to do anything for me, if it would be too much - especially with the fact you have been, er... ill lately...

[Even though she's totally fine now. But he worries!]

... And I would concur, actually... Many of us seem to be changed positively by our experiences here.

[At least overall.]

Of course it isn't too much! I'm feeling much better, honestly. Tsubaki and David both made sure of that.

[She's still coughing more than usual, but that's something to be expected. Her lungs still aren't quite 100% after the Boundary's influence was removed.]

Thank you for the concern, though.

You are always worth the concern, Doctor Faye-Ling. And what sort of friend would I be if I did not worry about you...?

[Especially when Litchi has quite literally put her life on the line for him. He only hopes he could do the same, if something ever had to happen.]
