There's no need to apologize! It can be hard to keep track of the days, here, especially when we've all been pulled in from other places and times.
[ She smiles warmly. Ori remembers when she turned 19 - it feels like a lifetime ago, and so much has happened since then, but she hopes that Hilda can at least enjoy this day and hopefully this last year of her teenaged days. ]
We can think of this as your half-birthday. Now, please, make yourself at home! Let me take your coat, and then you can sit down over there! There's plenty of sweets and tea.
