Twelfth Flake [video]
I looked at the date today, and I thought it would be fitting to bring up something I've been wondering for a while.
[It's been a while since Elsa got contemplative over the network. Thankfully, Elsa doesn't look all that upset or nervous, so it's nothing serious!]
Years pass here, and we all age. This is my second birthday in Johto; according to the calendar, I should be twenty-three today.
But that's only compared to how time passes here. What about back home? If we return home after spending years here, do we return as we were when we were first brought here? Or do we just... return to our land older, as we are now? I can't imagine how that might change things in our worlds, even if we have no memories of this place when we go home.
[... Okay yeah it did get kind of deep.]
It's curious, isn't it? Especially when one's taken from a date that doesn't match the date here when they first arrive.

[Wow, Korra wishes she'd known. Well, there's a lot of hours in a day....]
Happy birthday! You should have said something earlier!
[She gets contemplative then, glancing off into the distance.]
We probably go back to how we were before all this. I mean, from what everybody's told me...
[And her own experience with the weird time resetting this place does.]
Video
[Geez, people really did seem to care about her birthday a lot... then again, she'd cared about Anna's birthday a whole lot, even though that wasn't celebrated during their isolation either.]
It... really is bizarre, isn't it?
Video
[She's getting a little something from Korra, either way.]
Yeah. It really is.
Video
Last year was only the first time in thirteen years that I celebrated my birthday, and that's only because Anna insisted. I'm perfectly fine with not doing anything, really!
Video
Well, I won't make a big deal out of it then, but....
It is your birthday. And I think that's worth some kind of celebration. Because you're pretty great.
Video
N-Not really... but I know how hard it is to stop people when they've fully set their minds to something. So if you really want to...
Video
And if I say it, you know it's true!

You're quite stubborn. I hope you know that.
