The difference in Qui-Gon's bearing doesn't go unnoticed, and in a way, it helps Ezra relax, too. Birthdays aren't something he's had much experience celebrating, either his or anyone else's, so it's easier if it's not a big deal. There's nothing he has to live up to here. Which is good, because honestly he hadn't really been able to think of much that he could do or get for Qui-Gon.

"I didn't know you had a sweet tooth, Master Jinn," he says playfully, sticking his hands in his pockets. "Is that really what Master Kenobi thought you'd like for your birthday?" Just a casual way to let Qui-Gon know that yes, he knows what today is.

Which means he can also pull out a small blue bag tied with a simple blue string and trust that when he holds it out, his teacher can connect the dots to realize what it is.

A birthday gift.

He'll find an assortment of a few different kinds of locally grown tea leaves, each in their own little packet.
