[The video clicks on to reveal Gaara's pale, mostly blank face and dark-ringed eyes.  He's holding the communicator close enough that not much else is visible.  He looks slightly uncomfortable.]

Hypothetically, if I wanted to court someone, what should I do?

[ Doesn't even know you but he'll be damned if he is not pinged by this. ]

Oh! I have ideas!

Yes?

[Difficult to see with the angle of the communicator, but he's got a notebook. He'll be writing down all suggestions.]

If you're going to bring flowers, I'd recommend red carnations because those are symbolic of passion which is very necessary!

Caballerosidad is also important! Make sure you open the doors, offer to take your date's jacket and whisper romantic phrases.

[Gaara nods and pauses, looking down. The scratching sound of a pencil is faintly audible.]

Caballerosidad? [He stumbles a bit over the unfamiliar word.]

Yes! Hm. [ Thinks for a moment. ] Chivalry!

[ Leans in into the screen as if that will help him peek in on Gaara's notes. ]

Chivalry. I'm...somewhat familiar with the concept. [As in, he's pretty sure he's heard the word before. But he's not quite willing to admit how ignorant he is in the realm of romance and courtship.]

And romantic phrases...like what?

Familiarize yourself with it while courting. If there is a muddy puddle, take your jacket off to use as a bridge so your date can walk on it. (Or just pick your date up! That's always easier and doesn't ruin your jacket!)

Does your date know Spanish?

[Gaara nods, still writing.]

I don't think that language exists in the world where we come from. So no.

...hm. Teaching you Spanish will have to be saved for another day. I'll translate.

Say this:

Last night I dreamed of you and this morning I did not want to wake up. It took me an hour to know you and only a day to fall in love. But it would take me a lifetime to be able to forget you. Te quiero, mi corazón.

[ Pauses. ] That means I love you. Then you give a flower and say: "Will you go out with me?"

[He writes, a look of concentration on his face. He pauses briefly at the word "love," his expression going momentarily faraway and unreadable, then simply nods.]

I see. Anything else?

Then the kiss!

A kiss? Hm. I've never done that before, but it doesn't seem too complicated.

It's not complication but it's entirely necessary.

[Video] sandsworn August 5 2010, 04:25:32 UTC
I'll make sure to do that, then.

Let me know how it goes!
