[SOMEONE REMEMBERED]

[AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASTRIES]

filtered;

[fuelefficient]

I appreciate the kindness, Germany-san. Thank you very much.

[reluctantnanny]

I only remembered just in time. It is important to recognize important dates such as these.

[fuelefficient]

You still have my eternal gratitude.

[reluctantnanny]

"Eternal", well... If-if you insist.

*always overwhelmed by THE FORMAL*

[fuelefficient]

Would you like me to make you some chocolate for Valentine's Day?

[reluctantnanny]

*suddenly

has a minor brain aneurysm the moment the V-WORD is spoken*

. . . . .

*blinks back into consciousness* N-NO, BUT of...of course. It's ENTIRELY NATURAL to receive such a gift, isn't it!! Normal! Why wouldn't it be ANYTHING but normal?!

[fuelefficient]

Of course it is. Th-There are two types of chocolates, Germany-san.

[reluctantnanny]

Of course, ah, yes, you're right. You're right...

Yes. What types, then..?

[fuelefficient]

There is the kind of chocolate made for someone special to you and then there is courtesy chocolate.

[reluctantnanny]

A-ah... Right! Actually, that does ring a bell from a book I read about your culture. Courtesy chocolate, yes...

In that case, perhaps I...

....................................................

Is...is there a difference in the chocolate itself? If you would be so kind as to enlighten me.

[fuelefficient]

Typically in the size and decoration. Courtesy chocolates are generally smaller and rather generic.

[actually plans on giving Germany a bigger chocolate since he's so kind *_*]

[reluctantnanny]

*so educational must write down*

I see. That would make sense.

[fuelefficient]

If you are planning on making a special chocolate, it should be large and perhaps say "I love you" somewhere on it. It would not be odd to have a note delivered with it.

[reluctantnanny]

Right. Hypothetically speaking. Of course. *still. scribbling. earnestly.*

I wonder how many different kinds of cultural traditions there are, really... So many different people living in one town like this, I'm surprised there haven't been more misunderstandings..

[fuelefficient]

[while you're scribbling]

And...I suppose if it is you...you must say "I-It's not like I like you or anything. I j-just had some extra, that's all!" while giving the chocolate.

[yes, tsundere would be best for Germany]

I believe there is my tradition and the western tradition.
