Second Star of Fate ☯

Somehow... I seem to have missed Valentine's Day. I remember I was going to run by the store, but things get a little fuzzy...

[Yeah, her memories after getting hit by that arrow? Are so hazy she's pretty certain it was all just a dream. But maybe that's for the best.]

I was planning to give out chocolates, but it seems like I forgot to do that as well. Would anybody mind if I gave it to them today? I apologize for being late. I bought some extras, too, so even if we haven't met before, I don't mind sharing. Just let me know and I would be happy to give you one.

[And, as almost an afterthought-]

It sounds like almost everybody received coupons for a dinner for two. I was thinking, it might be nice if everyone went in a group. If we use the coupons for a pair of people each, we could use half of the coupons on one trip and then the other half for a second group dinner somewhere else. It would be a great way for everyone to relax and enjoy spending time with each other. Would anybody else be interested in doing this?

It's fine, I just...

I don't really want to talk about it. I'm sorry.

[Video]

[second_destiny]

All right. It's okay. We can talk about something else if it'd make you feel better.

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

I would appreciate that, thank you.

[Haa... she wanted to give him chocolates, but with that in mind, it's almost too embarrassing...

Maybe chatting a bit beforehand will make it a little easier?]

Erm... Asuno, how do you normally celebrate Valentine's Day where you are from?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Valentine's Day? Well, before I came here I was stationed in North America, and I'm pretty sure their customs haven't changed in centuries. Does that help?

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

The custom is a little different in Japan, but... it wouldn't be too forwards of me to offer you chocolate, would it? As a friend.

[Definitely just a friend.]

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Huh? Um.

[He's still blushing, though.]

Uh. Sure! I mean, no, it's not too forward.

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

Okay then, when would be a good time for me to drop them off?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Uh...I have the day off today, so...whenever, really.

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

So then... How does about half an hour sound?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Sounds good. I'll be in my apartment.

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

Ah- which one was it again?

[Video]

[second_destiny]

Pisces 801. Just knock when you get here.

[Video]

[eyewillprotect]

Alright. I will see you later, then.

[Sure enough, she arrives precisely thirty minutes later, knocking softly on the door.]

[Video]

[second_destiny]

[Asem opens the door.]

Hey. Come on in.

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Thank you. Sorry for intruding.

[And she steps in, a conspicuous box wrapped in red in her hands.]

[Action]

[second_destiny]

It's okay. You're not intruding.

[And then he lays his eyes on the box. A bit of pink creeps into his cheeks as he closes the door.]

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

I suppose... there's no use in beating around the bush.

[She holds out the box.]

Thank you so much for being my friend here, Asuno.

[Action]

[second_destiny]

[And he accepts it.]

Eheh... Really, I should be the one thanking you.

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Don't thank me quite yet... The chocolate seemed okay to me, but I'm not sure if it will suit everyone's tastes....

[She's never really done the chocolate thing herself before, having usually just bought obligation chocolates.

If he does try them however, he will find that they are... not bad! Though she had no experience with making chocolate, the fact that she can meticulously follow directions definitely helped her in the effort.]

[Action]

[second_destiny]

I'm sure it'll be okay. Thanks.

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Ah... W-well then...

[...What do you do when you are invited into a boy's house? She hasn't actually found herself in this situation before.]

[Action]

[second_destiny]

...Um. So...

[He's not sure what to do either.]

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

Th-the weather's been nice, hasn't it...?

[Action]

[second_destiny]

Huh? Oh. Yeah. Yeah, it has, hasn't it?

[Action]

[eyewillprotect]

It's been nice, being able to spend some time outdoors. I have to set aside time for homework and training of course, but whenever I have a spare moment I've found the park in Capricorn can be relaxing.
