[volcanic]

[volcanic]

or whatever you do with text
get me when you're done with dinner

[bauhinia]

all right
i'll see you soon

[ Holy moly, this is like a hangout date. Thing. A prearranged hangout. Where the two parties in attendance are aware of at least one party's feelings for the other. ]

My apologies if this seems sudden, but I think you might be the only one that can help me.

And if I haven't said so already, welcome back.

[bauhinia]

thanks for the welcome back
and no problem on the other thing
whatever the other thing is

[regelkonform]

It's about Italy, so I need this to be between you and I, yes?

Normally I would ask someone like Vietnam, but I feel that would be out of line.

[bauhinia]

sure
i hear you
i won't say anything
lips are sealed

[regelkonform]

I'm assuming that you're aware of the upcoming holiday, but last year was...

Last year was more than a little awkward, though, I think I have the landlord to thank for that. You see where I'm going with this?

[ Even if he didn't, Germany was getting there, he just wasn't sure how to put things. Too bad he didn't think it all out properly. ]

[bauhinia]

you mean valentines
yeah i remember it's been pretty strange before
i think i'm sorta following you
mostly

[regelkonform]

I don't want to mess this up.

It didn't seem like things had changed between us all that much, but last month there was...something of an anniversary and I didn't keep up with my end of things.

[bauhinia]

oh
i see
so you want to make up for it on valentines

[regelkonform]

Something like that, I suppose.

He hasn't said anything, has he?

[bauhinia]

i think you should go for it
go all out

and we kind of have a pact
so i can't really say

[ This is a fib, but it's a fib told in the name of being a good friend. He'll probably talk to Italy about it later. ]

[regelkonform]

All out?

[bauhinia]

yeah
do something big
make a big gesture

[regelkonform]

Right, such as?

[ The last time he'd gone for a big gesture it backfired big time. ]
