[Dictated as always. Who wouldn't want to listen to this voice?]

Salut, mes amis!

I suppose I won't find any parcels from admirers this year.



Hahaha, just kidding! I wouldn't say something like that just to ask for beans. Although between all of us, I'll miss having my locker overflowing. [He just sounds so pleased with himself.]

I thought since I haven't the dedication to throw a real cultural exchange party, we could talk about the days we use to show our love.

Legumentine's should be this ... weekend, yes? It'll be soon, anyway. Ladies, you're supposed to muster up all of your romantic courage and give beans to the boy - perhaps girl? - you like. You shouldn't be shy! As they say, the way to the heart is through a complicated network of arteries and the way to romance is surely opened up with a good meal!

Since it doesn't overlap with any other Sexy and Luxurious greeting card holidays, perhaps now you have another excuse to get a little intimate? If you're worried your crush doesn't like sweets, please take care and don't throw the beans at them!

Unless they're into that sort of game.

[A lover's work is never done.]

Haha! Right, right. Anything else would be too ambitious, wouldn't it? I have to keep up my lackadaisical approach to living.

Perhaps one day we'll even be able to host a party that doesn't go immediately south! We could be quite the power couple.

[squartatore]

You give me too much credit, seriously. [it's not as if she has any idea what she's doing at all] But now that I have taken on this appointment, I'll try to live up to your expectations.

[or...something...]

[whathedoves]

Don't sell yourself so short! I doubt you'll be able to disappoint me. All you need is some confidence.

Worst comes to worst, I'll just say you're my apprentice! Having been one myself I can say it's a very enjoyable position - most of the time.

[squartatore]

[that would have gone over so well were he to stop before that last bit :(]

Right. I don't want to know, do I?

[whathedoves]

Well - apprenticeships -

I promise I won't make you fetch my millet coffee or anything of the sort!

I'll even refrain from calling you Miss Secretary.

[squartatore]

Wow. Thanks so much. I should be honoured.

[dude, not helping!!]

[whathedoves]

[Sorry, Miss Miki.] I'd like to stay well outside the realm of harassment lawsuits.

Though I'm sure someone's called me Miss Secretary before, and I found it confusing. How was I supposed to respond to that?

This should be a relationship of equals.

[give her a moment to clear away the sudden (disturbing) mental image of Yuuya in a pencil skirt. UGH she's turning into Hitomi at this rate]

Let's start with treating each other as such. [...] Which we already do, anyway.

[whathedoves]

Of course! Because that's what we are. Equal footing is important.

What's the step after that?

[squartatore]

Shh, what's the point of getting you something when you find out what it is beforehand?

[TECHNICALLY TRUE...she just hasn't decided on a gift, but that is a thing scheduled to happen]

[whathedoves]

[He lets out a very surprised laugh.]

Is that so? I'm not even allowed to be nosy? This is quite the mystery! But I promise not to snoop.
