...If a young maiden was, perhaps, seeing a... gentleman... One that she was exclusive to. One that, that she cared about... and has already been seeing for many months now- [Her voice falters as if choking around the simple term 'boyfriend'. It's not

[DKJSFJKFKJF IT TAKES HIM LIKE THREE MINUTES OF DEAD AIR TIME TO NOT GIGGLE AT YOU VIETNAM.]

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

[lotuslife]

I do not! [o-oh. oh, trying to sound calm.] I am making this phone call for a friend.

[zeppeli_cursed]

Oh, in that case... [Oh, fine, fine, he'll act like he believes you.

...Please remember he comes from Japan and this has J-drama written all over it.]

Your "friend" should just be themselves. If they know what his favorite food is, make that. I'm sure your friend is an excellent cook. Otherwise... if they aren't impressed by you being yourself--excuse me, my your friend being herself--they aren't worth the time spent, anyway.

[Kakyoin is so sweet kfjdhgdf]

I see. [her voice warms a little.] Kakyoin always has something very kind to say.

[zeppeli_cursed]

Only for you... and your friend.

[lotuslife]

[a... a sigh] I am really not so naive about these manners. But an alien... This is different.

[zeppeli_cursed]

Really? How so? I think, even if I was an alien, a country would be fairly exotic and intimidating to me.

[lotuslife]

I do not think I am either of those things. [even if she is... lmao especially the latter]

[zeppeli_cursed]

Oh, I find you completely intimidating.

I thought we were talking about your friend?

[lotuslife]

[.....................fuck]

We... we are!

[zeppeli_cursed]

Ah. You know, maybe my ears are having trouble... It has been some time since I cleaned them properly.

[lotuslife]

I-I see. That must be it. I certainly did not speak of myself.

[zeppeli_cursed]

Right! Of course.

[Definitely not thinking "wouldn't it be nice if a young maiden would clean my ears..."

NO REALLY THIS IS A THING IN ESUTE.]

[lotuslife]

[I THINK I RECALL SEEING THIS IN AN ANIME...]

...S-so. Back to my friend.

[zeppeli_cursed]

[For real, they have long q-tips. It's very ~motherly~ and ~loving~ or smth.]

Yes, your friend! I really think they'll be impressive enough on their own. And, honestly, if it's a huge occasion, don't you think a big gift would send the wrong signals? You don't want to look like you're trying to impress someone, or it comes on too strong.

[lotuslife]

[lmao...]

Th-that is true. It isn't a special occasion, though...
