[At first, he didn't want to comment. As a matter of fact, he didn't. He got to work sewing (something he was decent at) and magicked up a kitten plushie. Stuffing it in a box, he (very much nervously) hoofed it to her house and set it on the front porch with a note]
Dear Nana-san,
I honestly regret not realizing it was your birthday. How irresponsible of me. （ノ_σ） As an apology, please accept this gift and an invitation to come by my house for a meal at any time.
I understand that while being here, it is easy to miss home. While traveling the world and meeting with new countries, I have come to discover that no matter where you go, your friends, family, and home never leave you. You always carry those things in your heart. The weight of it may be heavy but carrying it will always remind you of the things that are important to you.
I hope you feel better and thank you very much for reading this. ｍ（．＿．）ｍ
[It took a while for Nana to find it, as she'd been rather busy being mopey for the most part. It's safe to say that she's floored and very touched when she finds it. Expect for Nana to be walking around with a kitty plushie in arm for the next very long while.
... I guess asking if something was on your mind would be a bad idea to start with right now. But if anything, we can try to at least make your birthday cake if you want.
That didn't really sound like nothing to me, but if you don't want to talk about it then that's okay, I guess. Still, are you sure you don't want to do anything for your birthday? I mean... that's up to you and all.

Sorry! I didn't know it was on.
[Back to trying to be as cheerful as possible]
Looks like you're not the only one who can forget about things like that.

Sounds like someone could use some cake.

Cake? I guess... but I can't seem to remember how to cook anymore.

I'm sure the store must have cakes.

Guess I'll stop by the store later. Do you want to come over and help eat it Maebara-kun?

Shirou-kun!
[She scrambles to sit up, how long had he been there?]
I'm okay really. There's nothing you need to worry about. [It's not like there was anything either of them can do after all.]
I'd make one but... I don't think even he'd eat it.

Just homesick I guess. Probably just brought on by eating too much turkey.
[There's a pause. Did you really believe she didn't want to celebrate her birthday, Shirou?]
...Could we? You're sure it's okay?
