[2/14, afternoon]
Hey, Nowi. Do me a favor and get out of whatever tree you're in and come back to the room for a second.
[From the sound of it, at least it isn't urgent; just blunt, as usual.]

Gosh, Ginti, I wasn't in a tree!
[...she was about to climb one though, so does that really count?]
I'll be right there, alright?
[Nowi doesn't take long in getting back to the room, as promised. She's got Mana around her neck as usual and she looks a little jumpier than usual, but it's nothing too strange.]
Ginti? What's up?

..... Umm... H-hello?
[There's a possibly familiar voice, who sounds extremely uncertain right now.]
Hello? Can anyone hear me?

[Ginti glances over at her from where he's sitting at that table they have in there, idly messing around with that game set thing she got him for Christmas; Nowi, why are you jumpy, jumpy is never a good sign- ]
You know, I'd ask what you did but I'm going to get the obvious out of the way first.
["The obvious" being the fact that there's kind of one of those massive Sylveon plushes sitting on her bed; he gestures toward it, the motion idle.]
That thing's yours.

I didn't do anything--
[Then she looks over and the worried expression vanishes immediately.]
Ohmygosh, Ginti...!
[GIVE HER A MOMENT SHE NEEDS TO LAUNCH HERSELF AT THIS THING AND HUG ON IT FOREVER.]
That's so sweet! Thank you so, soooo much!

Heya, Rakka!
[Nowi's voice responds promptly and she sounds just as cheerful as always.]
Did you make it to Cherrygrove?
[Nowi's voice responds promptly and she sounds just as cheerful as always.]
Did you make it to Cherrygrove?
It looked like something you'd like. You don't have to make a big thing out of it.
[She's probably going to make a big thing out of it, but eh.]
[She's probably going to make a big thing out of it, but eh.]
You always say that, but you get me really great stuff and you're really nice to me so why wouldn't I make a big thing out of it?
I don't get why I wouldn't get you nice stuff.
See? You're always so nice to me...
[Well, she looks like she's on the verge of tears. People were nice to her back home, sure, but that was different.]
A-And I want to be just as nice to you! 'Cause you're really, really important to me!

[...Oh god. Ohhhh god, don't start crying at him, what did he do now.]
Hey, don't - you're doing fine, okay?
[Hell does he do with this, oh my god...]
Hey, don't - you're doing fine, okay?
[Hell does he do with this, oh my god...]
[YOU WERE NICE TO HER...]
Y-Yeah...
[SNIFFLE]
S-Sorry, I don't want to cry, but it's just so nice...
Y-Yeah...
[SNIFFLE]
S-Sorry, I don't want to cry, but it's just so nice...
...Look, it's not that big a deal. I like you, so I want to get you nice shit once in a while. Like I said, I don't get why I wouldn't.
Well, yeah, but... I really appreciate it. I don't think I could ever thank you enough for all the things you've done for me, Ginti! You're the nicest person I know and I really, really like you, so...
[...oh man this is the dumbest thing that's ever made her nervous, okay.]
Um... Will you go on a date with me?
[Draculaura said to ask as soon as possible, but Nowi's been anxious about it since it came up in conversation. There are a lot of ways this could go wrong and she's not even sure she's asking it in the right way, but here we are anyway.]

Oh.
[...You know, there are a lot of ways that could have been phrased that would have dropped it right into shitshow; as it stands, the assertion of really really liking him and the whole nicest person she knows things are sort of "...wow that's kind of" but the actual request is not - it's not like she's asking to be his girlfriend or get married or something, it's just kind of...
...Okay, he sort of doesn't get why this is much different from what they usually do, if he thinks about it, uh.]
Yeah. Sure, I guess.

Really? Really really!?
[She sounds super excited about that, alright!!]
You mean it? Oh gosh, Ginti, that's great!
[She sounds super excited about that, alright!!]

You're going to give yourself an aneurysm at this rate.
[...NOWI...]
But I don't see why not, yeah. Whenever you want.
[...NOWI...]

That's so great!
[She's going to be bouncing forever!! THERE IS NO CHILL.]
But don't put it like that, otherwise I'll ask you on a Valentine's Day date!
[She's going to be bouncing forever!! THERE IS NO CHILL.]
But don't put it like that, otherwise I'll ask you on a Valentine's Day date!
Not to be the least romantic person in the room or anything, but everywhere to go around here is going to be absolute hell tonight.
[...]
Tomorrow night, maybe.
[...]
Tomorrow night, maybe.
Oh. Yeah, that's true! And we can get candy on sale too! It'll be our own personal Valentine's Day!
[it's her first valentine's day okay cut her some slack]
[it's her first valentine's day okay cut her some slack]
[Well, I mean, technically it's his too.]
Don't tell me you're out of candy already.
Don't tell me you're out of candy already.
Maaaaybe...
[Some things never change...]
But it'll be fun shopping together!
[Some things never change...]
But it'll be fun shopping together!
I guess so, yeah.
[...okay, dammit- ]
The dark chocolate ones were pretty good, actually.
[...okay, dammit- ]

Hah, I thought you'd like them! I'll make sure to save all of them for you!
[...Oh! Thank goodness! Rakka promptly sounds as cheerful as Nowi... if a little tired.]
Uh huh! The trip was longer then I thought, but I made it! I just got here yesterday, so I wanted to try and let you know!
[a beat]
I've never used a phone before.
