[Ivy isn't really a good team player, but you know, she is trying. And Vash isn't human. Maybe that's a reason to be nicer to him?

Whatever, she messages him and after a brief pause where she struggles with what to say, she settles on:]

Happy Birthday. I, uh, I got you a fern. If you're into that sort of thing.

[When he gets a voicemail ping in his earpiece, he's a little surprised, honestly. And when he actually listens to it, all the more so. It's perhaps a good thing she hasn't made a video call, so she can't see either the moment where he stares owlishly at the message as though unsure if it's real and actually for him, or his thousand-watt smile when he calls back -- but maybe she can hear the latter in his voice.]

More strongly than she feels about murdering some people, honestly.]

Just don't let it dry out and you'll do fine.
