"You've reached the comms device of Megaman.EXE. I'm not available at the moment, so please leave a message and I will respond as soon as I am able! Thank you!"
[Good on you for not commenting on the resemblance, Magicman, otherwise you'd be down a small navi and up a slammed door in your face. Maybe another day.
He glances at the box, then back up at Magicman, before huffing out somthing that sounds suspiciously like "fine." He's well past assuming everything Magicman does is a potential attempt to kill him, so it'd be rude to refuse. He opens the box and...well. He doesn't know what he expected to find, but it sure wasn't a cake.
No. There is no way this is what he thinks it is. It can't be. He doesn't say anything - probably couldn't even if he tried - and instead just. Stares at Magicman in shock. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW, STRANGE CRIMINAL-TYPE-PERSON, AND DOES HE NEED TO BE CONCERNED.]
[He looks back down at that, swallows hard and closes the box. Okay. Okay, he doesn't know. It's just a coincidence.]
I...sorry. D-didn't think you knew.
[He's quiet for a moment, gently thumbing the side of the box's lid. This is not even remotely what he expected when he woke up today. He expected hiding under the covers and trying to think of every logical reason he could for it to not be his birthday. He's not quite sure how to process all this.]
I know you probably find it hard to believe, but we care about Lan's wellbeing too. He's got a lot to handle. [ World Three's goals hadn't really shifted over time, but their perspective on things had. Lan's just a kid doing his best, after all, as are the rest of his friends. ]
...I know you're missing him. [ He misses his operator, too. Though the bond is different, there are some feelings that are the same. ] This isn't much, but it's the most I can do for you.
[He just nods at that. This is so hard. Today hurts, and the fact that he can't stop thinking about all the horrible things he did over the weekend doesn't help in the slightest.
...after the whole mess of the last weekend, everyone still...]
Thank you. I...thanks.
[He takes a deep breath, shoulders visibly shaking now.
I will not cry in front of Magicman. I will not cry, I will not cry--]

If you want to really thank me, how about we spar again at some point? When we're both in our right minds, this time.
[ He doesn't call attention to Megaman's obvious display of emotion. He knows that if he were in Megaman's position, he wouldn't want it to be pointed out; he'll extend the same courtesy. ]
See you later, Megaman. [ He turns away, raising a hand - he's got things to do today. Road trip and all. ] At least try to enjoy today.
[ He's sure that Lan wouldn't want Megaman to be unhappy, after all. ]

..And he's just going to stare? Okay. ]
...What's that look for?
I remembered it was Lan's birthday, so I made you something. [ A pause. ] I'm sure you celebrate his birthday with him, after all.
[ But since he's not here, this will have to do. ]
