[ she physically jumps with a yelp because


that's how infrequently she gets calls on this thing. And the only person who ever does contact her is Venti, so it's her immediate assumption even before she sees his name on the incoming call screen. Usually he texts though. Is something wrong? She hits the answer button with a mild feeling of concern. ]

Hello? Venti?

[outofoffice]

Hi Lumine!

[ He sounds very cheerful! ???? ]

I had a question for you!

[glidinglight]

[ Well, at least he doesn't sound like there's a problem. Her worry abates, but her curiosity is still pretty high. ]

Sure, what is it?

[outofoffice]

Would you like to go on a date?

[ STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! ]

[glidinglight]

I'm--what?

[outofoffice]

You know, a date!

Or maybe you don't know? I could explain.

[glidinglight]

No--I mean, I.... think I understand. It's like... courting, right?

[outofoffice]

Ehe, exactly like that!

--Oh! But is that okay?

[glidinglight]

[ ??? At first she was just taken off guard, but now she's getting really confused. ]

Why wouldn't it be okay?

[ Is she not allowed to date? Or maybe she just doesn't? ]

... Did Aether say I couldn't date you?

[ That's the only thing she can think of her. ]

[outofoffice]

Hahaha, I don't think it ever would have occurred to him that I would try!

No, I'm just making sure you're okay with it.

[glidinglight]

... This isn't some kind of joke, right?

[ Because that she would not be okay with. ]

[outofoffice]

No!! What kind of joke would that be??

[glidinglight]

I--don't know, I just needed to be sure!

[ don't @ her okay she just didn't see this coming! ]

If you're serious though, then.... yeah. I'll go on a date with you.

[outofoffice]

Really?!

[ VICTORY ]

How about tonight?

[glidinglight]

Tonight?

[ It's so fast. What will she wear? Actually, that kind of depends on what they're doing, doesn’t it? ]

Sure. What did you have in mind?

[outofoffice]

There's a place I've found in the city that would be lovely for a picnic. We can fly there, if you want.

[glidinglight]

That would be nice. I can carry the food, since you'll be carrying me.

[outofoffice]

Deal! I'll meet you in front of the hotel.

[glidinglight]

[ wait does he mean right now? ]

I'm going to need a few minutes.

[ what is she going to wear???? ]

[outofoffice]

Oh, right! I forgot the time.

[ Immortal problems ]

Hehe, how about eight o'clock?

[glidinglight]

[ is this an 8am or 8pm picnic for my mental ref ]

Yeah, that should work.

[outofoffice]

[ pm for maximum ~romance~ ]

Perfect. Then I'll see you there. ♪


[ Aaaaand CLICK as the line goes dead ]

[glidinglight]

[ Okay. Okayyy that gives her--just enough time to freshen up and figure out what to wear that she can get down there without being late, if she hurries. One shower and half hour spent agonizing over her wardrobe options (she's never been on a date before, it has to be cute but not too fancy!) and she's got herself in a new dress and headed out the front doors of the lobby to wait. She's trying not to be nervous, but she's definitely giving off a nervous energy. ]

[outofoffice]

[ Does it help if her date abruptly swans up behind her and drapes himself from behind? ]

Lumine~~

[glidinglight]

[ She should be used to this kind of greeting by now, but

Actually, no, it has a whole other meaning now. Her cheeks go pink. ]

Hi, Venti.
