18th Case - [Voice]

[fortuneprince]

[Voice - February 13]

Would any of you consider chocolate to be too cliche of a gift on Valentine's day?  [She really shouldn't be asking the day before Valentine's day but whatever.] I realize that it is practically tradition to give a loved one chocolate of some kind--at least back home it had been--but is that truly the best gift to offer? 

[It's not something she'd consider original or all that special... but that might be just her]

What would you consider to be special and unique as a gift for Valentine's Day?  What would you personally want?  A card?  A rose?  Anything in particular at all? [She just wants some ideas for her present]

[Voice - Filtered to Roxas - February 14]

Do you have some time to spare today, Roxas-kun?  I-I have something for you...

...I guess you're right. And I'm glad we're close. [He still remembers when he first met you, Naoto. Don't think he forgot about how he was a total zombie and you helped him out.] Let's just hope it stays that way.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[Oh zombie!Roxas, she remembers that day well. It was definitely a unique way to meet her now best friend.]

I don't intend to let our relationship decline in any way, so there will be no need to worry about that. [She wouldn't let her best friend just get away from her]

[action]

[perplexme]

I still haven't really repaid you for that day, have I?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

Ah--there's no need for you to repay me.

[action]

[perplexme]

But what if I want to?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

I-I... [WELL SHIT] I suppose that's your choice then.

[action]

[perplexme]

Give me time to figure something out. If I'm going to do it, it has to be something great.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

W-Why is that? It doesn't have to be anything too spectacular...

[action]

[perplexme]

Because you're worth it. Why not? [What is this not thinking about what he's saying.]

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[OAERIHGpaiethg] I-I-I don't think so...

[action]

[perplexme]

...[Just this look. Go on. Explain.]

[action]

[fortuneprince]

W-What? [Nope nope nothing to explain]

[action]

[perplexme]

You're acting like I can't do that.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

You can! It's just... [She's still not quite sure how to react to situations like these. That's all. Bowing a little] I apologize.

[action]

[perplexme]

[...yeah, he's lost.] It's okay. Don't worry about it so much.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[Sob sorry Roxas. Here, she'll try to smile now] I'll try not to. [And then a more genuine smile] Thank you.

[action]

[perplexme]

Don't worry about it.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

You're too nice to me.

[action]

[perplexme]

I don't think there's such a thing as being too nice to your closest friends. Maybe I'm just doing this whole friendship thing wrong again.

[action]

[fortuneprince]

No, you're not, don't worry. You're doing it just fine. [wait] 'Again'?

[action]

[perplexme]

...I'm pretty sure killing one best friend and then completely forgetting about the other aren't really signs of being a good friend. [Not that either of those are his fault, but still.]

[action]

[fortuneprince]

[She frowns] I don't believe those were ever your fault.

[action]

[perplexme]

No, but it's still stuff that happened. You feel bad about stuff that's happened to your friends that was out of your control, don't you?

[action]

[fortuneprince]

...Of course.

[action]

[perplexme]

Then you should know why I still think about it.
