"Obi-Wan had them delivered earlier this morning," Qui-Gon confirms with a smile as he closes the door behind Ezra with a casual wave of his hand.
In fact, a lot about him is casual today. From the local clothing he's decided to wear instead of the usual Jedi tunic, to the way he's carrying himself--still harboring a regal flair, but with a distinctively relaxed dip in his shoulders. Almost as if the first half of Obi-Wan's gift served as a cue for Qui-Gon to take things easy today.
Jedi generally didn't celebrate birthdays outside of that all-too-important 13th year, so giving himself a chance to unwind and disregard (most) responsibility is as close to a party as Qui-Gon's going to get. Which is fine by him--he never enjoyed being the center of attention.
"What brings you here today?" Qui-Gon's question is sincere. Even if he has an idea as to Ezra's purpose, it never hurt to clarify on the off-chance that he's wrong.
