047 [Action]

[Another White Day in Luceti.  Though Adell has come to think that Valentine's Day works better as a universal holiday, there's one thing that can be said about White Day:  most likely, he'll be in his right mind and not messed with by experiments, leaving him free to do what he needs to do.  This White Day won't be quite as busy in terms of numbers as the last one, thankfully.  There's only two people really on his mind for this one.

So, throughout the early part of the day, morning and early afternoon, he's out doing some shopping, stopping in the general store and the flower shop, to get the various things he needs for his plan.   He can be seen in the village any time during that phase.  Clearly he's up to something.

After he's done running his errands there, he'll disappear for awhile, then return back home to House 44.   Housemates can catch him there.   He's looking for Luka at first, to give her a gift of homemade chocolate and a bouquet of freshly cut red and pink flowers, mostly as a gift to show his appreciation and care for her.  If she tries to hide from him, he'll leave them in her room on her nightstand.

But his final leg of his plan involves Charlotte, and he's off to find her a little while before sunset.]

[She closes the distance between them as she speaks. Sorry, she won't keep you long.]

Fine, as usual. You look energetic.

[He doesn't look bothered. In fact, he's always happy to talk to her.]

Just been a busy day today. Training, then errands. But I'm feelin' pretty good.

[He's excited. And he has plans that he's looking forward to, considering the day.]

[The fact that she relies on beyond (or, rather, around) words makes it feel as though the excitement is way in her face. Which is a good sign, she supposes. It's always better to be in a good mood. And she's curious -- ]

Errands?

[He nods.]

Had to get together a few things. Today's kind of an important day.

Today is . . .

[March 14. She racks her mind for the appropriate answer.]

White Day. I think it's a holiday they celebrate on Earth, right?

[Action]

[ -- right. White Day. An Asian custom. She nods.]

It's supplementary to Valentine's Day . . . or so I heard.

Pretty much, though apparently it's women are supposed to do nice, romantic things for men on Valentine's, and men return the favor on White Day.

...Though I don't mind doing nice things on both, personally.

Holidays have a way of working that way.

. . . So your errand involves returning the favor from a month ago. [A pause. She's pretty sure of who Adell is going to give something to. Isn't it obvious?]

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He gives a nod.]

Yup. It's a surprise, though... so don't go saying anything to anyone, all right?

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I won't. It's not my business to tell.

Thanks, Sylvia!

[He pauses and thinks for a moment.]

...Actually. I made some extra chocolate. Would you like some?

[Action] 1/2

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[That draws a temporary look of surprise. She hadn't expected the offer.]

Chocolate?

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
. . . If you're sure that you don't want them, I don't see why not.

[It's the polite thing to do, and -- it makes her feel pretty good.]

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Good, come on in, then!

[Adell steps back inside his room. Sitting on his desk, are... well, several tins of chocolates. Really, he shouldn't have used the same recipe as he did last year. He made way too much. He picks up one of the larger ones and holds it out to her.]

...Hopefully it should taste okay. I'm not a chef or anything, but I did my best.

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sylvia follows him inside, and eyes the tins with mild pleasant surprise. She takes the one offered to her by Adell with both hands and a grateful nod.]

I'm sure it'll be fine. Did you follow the recipe properly?

[It's more a question for himself than for her -- as long as he did, it should taste okay. A recipe's what she assumes he used, anyway.]

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He laughs a little sheepishly.]

...Though that's why I ended up with so much. I forgot to fraction it down. But I didn't get any complaints from last year, so!

[Action]

It's probably better than being short. The more the merrier. Right?

. . . Had there been more people last year?

[Action]

Well... Charle and I weren't dating, obviously. ...And a lot of girls gave me chocolate on Valentine's Day, so I had a lot of good cheer to return.

[A little sheepish. He's kind of embarrassed to admit how much he got. But at the same time, he's still really happy about it.]

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The dating part, as minor as it should have been, nearly diverts her attention completely. She manages to stay on track without the outright reminder affecting her visibly.]

I can see why you'd be a popular choice.

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He blushes a bit at that.]

...W-what do you mean?

[That kind of came out without him thinking. Really, he should know better than be surprised by now. But still.]

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's obvious, isn't it?

[Maybe she should have worded it differently. It didn't quite come off the way she'd intended it to. So she's going to correct herself, or something to that effect.]

You're honest.

[That should be good enough. "Honest" can branch off into so many other terms . . . and that's why she picked the word.]

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles a little, fighting back that blush and regaining his composure.]

Heh, sorry. I guess that was kind of a dumb question.

[Action]

[identity profile] vanhossen.livejournal.com 2011-03-19 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, no, no, that wasn't dumb. She shakes her head. Don't apologize.]

I was unclear.

[Action]

[identity profile] vulcanblazer.livejournal.com 2011-03-20 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Either way. ...Thanks.

[It's quite a compliment. Coming from someone like Sylvia, who struck him as hard to impress, he does feel pretty flattered. If there's one thing he's figured out about Sylvia over time is that she usually would try to say a lot with few words. He's not great at pinpointing all of the subtleties of the things she's trying to communicate yet, but...]
