❥ THIRD DRAGONSTONE | ACTION [CHERRYGROVE] / VIDEO

[invigorating]

[ ACTION (CHERRYGROVE CITY) ]

[It's pretty cold out today, but that doesn't stop Nowi from wearing shorts and her ridiculously long boots. She's got a coat on at least, but the cold definitely isn't the most important thing on her mind.]

Hmm... Hey, Mana? How much chocolate should I buy?

[The Dratini wrapped around her neck like a scarf just looks at her. It's the most deadpan expression and that apparently says everything Nowi needs to know.]

You're right! I should totally buy as much as I can! I hope they have those really nice ones with the cream filling!

[And into the shop she goes, though she spends a moment just... staring at all the Valentine's Day merchandise.]

Oh my gosh, I want a giant Sylveon plushie!!

[Well, it looks like she's found her favorite holiday.]

[ VIDEO ]

Sooo... I've got a question.

[Nowi's sitting on a bench somewhere in Cherrygrove. She's got her head tipped to the side as she thinks.]

What's Valentine's Day? It sounds like it's super important, but I don't know what it is! People keep saying stuff about my "significant other", whatever that is, so uh... anyone want to tell me?

...Also, why is there so much chocolate?

I... It's alright! Really! I'm actually alright with it now. It's just something that happened a while ago.

[invigorating]

Still, that sounds awful...

[charcoalfeather]

W-well, uhh... [Welp. She hadn't really planned on this conversation taking a turn like that. And now Nowi looked distressed and it was distressing Rakka too.

How distressing.]

No, no! It's fine now, Nowi. Actually, it's been a while since that happened. And the last time I saw her, we were both happy. I don't think it could have been better.

[Not that she didn't cry. Because of course she did.]

[invigorating]

Well, being happy is definitely good!

[She's just had some Bad Experiences with losing people so that's... something that she's going to take hard no matter what. She's trying though!! Being depressed and depressing isn't helping.]

[charcoalfeather]

Uh, it is...!

[This entire conversation has taken a depressing turn... how can they possibly turn this around...?]

I'm sorry for that. It sounds like we should be happy right now, since there's a holiday.
