[ Sherlock has to grin when the text comes through. He knew that Heizou would be able to solve the puzzle and infer its meaning. ]
Not at all, my dear Heizou. You know me to be the most modest of men. I would not dare point out that another year has passed, and yet there has been no notice of my birthday.
[ He thinks about feigning disappointment at the implication that Heizou quietly took notice but did nothing. However, that feels more like something Mycroft would say and out of the realm of good-natured teasing.
Besides, Sherlock suspects that Heizou is lying about figuring it out. A lot had happened soon after Heizou's birthday last year, so he could have forgot about the whole thing. (Whether or not Sherlock is right is another matter completely.) ]
Apology accepted. Where shall we meet?
[ Heizou has likely noticed (as Alhaitham and Kaveh have) that Sherlock has become less disagreeable when asked or invited to eat something after his repeated health relapses after crystallization. He may proceed to forgot about eating on his own, but he's not fighting as much when brought up. Less getting better about his health and more trusting others' word about caring for himself. ]
[Did he figure the date out beforehand? Who knows. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Either way, Heizou is happy to leave it as a mystery.
Sherlock's increasing agreeability when it comes to meals has pleased Heizou endlessly. Which of course means that he has to tease him about it from time to time.]
Man alive, it really is nice to see how far you've come from squirreling away sandwiches in your pockets~
You make it sound as if I always had a sandwich in my pocket, and I am hardly the only one to have done so.
[ Sherlock really is too easy to tease on this. Hopefully he will continue on this trend and regain something akin to proper health instead of falling to the sickly Victorian trope he's found himself in. Maybe someday he'll remember on his own rather than someone needing to keep him accountable. ]
You of all people should be well aware that I've always known when you've shoved finger foods into your pockets instead of eating what's been placed in front of you~
[Please, Sherry. Please.]
Regardless, since this will be my treat, feel free to pick any place that you like!
[Time to see if Sherlock's even been paying attention to where he can go to have these proper meals...]
Crust Station has a myriad of savory and sweet pies prepared in different ways and sizes. Perhaps something among them will be to our tastes.
[ Okay, the only reason why he even paid attention to the place was because they were advertising "meat pies" one day, and Sherlock realized John never got his meat pie for supper when they started that case. And he also realized John never got that seafood dish either. (He really needs to make sure his dear John gets fed...)
Although, this place does carry handheld, pocket-sized pies which certainly doesn't help Sherlock's case any. ]

But speaking of making up for our deficiencies! Perhaps you'd like to join me for lunch? We can call it an apology for failing to loudly take notice~
