So happy birthday. Really. I'm sorry, your birthday gift isn't done, but.. maybe we could go out and do something later if you like.
[Part of him didn't expect a birthday wish from Leo so this caught Elliot off guard. It made him.. happy.]
You don't have to worry about a gift, Leo. Really. [As for later, he gave a thought to the offer. It would give them time to just.. talk. Right? Nothing in particular but--]
That sounds fine. I don't mind at all, I'm not doing anything today anyway. [Or so he thinks...]

I was thinking later this evening, or maybe tomorrow morning going to get breakfast.

It would be nice going out either way.
