[No matter how it was accomplished, it seems no one was left on the doomed Sigrun. (Which is quite possibly the best birthday gift she could have hoped for.) So, she sends this message with confidence:]
[A nice long~ pause while she contemplates whether to tell him straight-up or not... The man has already suffered enough this week without her holding out a secret over him. But it's not within her to make it easy.]
I'll give you a simple hint: I've already received a gift.
I'd wondered if it might be so. I will admit to some disappointment, but I wish more for you to have all your affairs in order, so that you can be completely undistracted.
Welcome back.

I'm afraid you're going to have to give me a few days before we can celebrate properly.
