I'm trying to be nice because it's my birthday and I don't want to make a scene, Jaune.

[ That's as blunt as she can get without actually being mean. ]

I haven't had a party thrown for me since I was back home in Atlas. I didn't even tell anyone when my birthday was last year, so if we could go one night without any ulterior motive compliments I would appreciate it. I'm glad the food's good.
