No doubt Kate, being Kate, has not told you that her birthday is in a fortnight. You, if no one else, ought to make a gesture.

I'm impressed that you managed to keep track of that without any formal calendar.

I drew up my own not long after my arrival. I have maintained it since. It is hardly a difficult task.

I wouldn't imagine so, in theory.
With the assumption that the years of every world are identical in length, and that the days spent in the caverns and on the planets since match what we are all accustomed to.

Regardless, I'm sure it's adequate.

If you want to make a single calendar for us all to use, by all means.

Yet I know that Kate shares the same calendar as me and on the occasion I learned of her birthday it seemed our understanding of the date matched.

So it is more than adequate. But next time I shall not bother.

Kate has declined to inform me of the date, no doubt for her own reasons, much as I did when I believe my own birthday passed here.

You have my thanks for the information, but I wouldn't want to disrespect the woman I love by drawing attention to a day she may not wish to see marked. I'm sure you understand that.

That is your prerogative.
