Who: Miles - January 5th
He hasn't spent a birthday in England since his father died. Corvin died three days before Miles' birthday, and the cold weather of England in January never fails to depress him when the anniversary comes around. If it's Greece, Italy, or some other far-flung destination, Miles doesn't care. He just doesn't want to wake up cold on that day. He's never told Kathryn his reasoning for wanting to travel- he assumes that she just thinks he likes to (and he does), not that there might be some more personal reasoning to it. But she doesn't seem to be complaining, either.
Who: Ried - January 7th
He met Melanie on his birthday. He was completely and hopelessly lost in Athens, and the street map he'd bought from a grinning vendor made him feel rather incompetent. (He could speak four languages! He was an adult! How could he not find a simple Ministry building?) Growing frustrated, Ried crumpled the map and tossed it into a nearby bin, crossing his arms and sinking down onto a public bench. (...Why was it sticky?) "Excuse me?" The voice was timid, hesitant, but clearly in English. Ried's attention was caught immediately. "Do you need help?" From her? Oh yes, most definitely.
Who: Caden - January 11th
Her mum always makes banana pancakes on her birthday. Of course, Caden is impatient and eager to help, so rather than wait to be served in bed (as her mum assures her she is allowed to do, that day), she always gets up early and joins her mum in the kitchen. It's a simple tradition, but one of her favorites. The first year she's living on her own, Caden wakes up alone on her birthday and, for a moment, she can't quite figure out what's wrong. Half an hour later, however, she's knocking on her parents' door, bananas in hand.
