It's hardly displaying them if it's in my room.

[Is he serious or is he just teasing? Who knows!

(He's mildly serious. He wants to keep one, and he hates how sentimental that's making him feel.)]

[book2thehead]

Somehow knowing you want to keep them in the private sanctity of your room feels extra special~

[threebetrayals]

They're safest there.

[book2thehead]

Safe from any prying eyes?

[threebetrayals]

I really don't want to deal with any questions from Nahida. I don't think that's odd.

[book2thehead]

I never said it was odd. :3

What do you think she'd ask you?

[threebetrayals]

I don't want to think about it.

[Or the knowing looks. The looks are the worst.]

Did I pick book you'll read?

[book2thehead]

[Clearly Heizou needs to hang out with Nahida more...]

You did! I can hardly wait to get started on it, to be honest.

Oh, that made me think of a way you can preserve some of the roses. Press them and turn them into bookmarks!

[threebetrayals]

Bookmarks? I guess I could try it.

[book2thehead]

Please do! That way every time you use it to reopen a book, you'll think of me~

[threebetrayals]

I'm sure I'll have plenty to share with you, too.

[book2thehead]

I'd like that very much, my dear Wanderer~

[There's a pause, and then-]

Are you free at the moment?

[threebetrayals]

I'm shopping but I won't be much longer. Why?

[book2thehead]

I thought maybe we could go grab something to eat. Or I can come join you, if that's all right!

[He just. Wants to see him.]

[threebetrayals]

[. . .]

Where do you want to meet up? I'm just looking for a courier at this point.

[book2thehead]

By the fountain? That's pretty central to everything.

[threebetrayals]

Alright. You might beat me there, but I'll be there soon enough.

[book2thehead]

I wouldn't want to keep you waiting, anyway~

[Whenever Wanderer gets there, he'll find Heizou sitting by the fountain with happy little bubbles floating around his head. He's obviously excited to be there. He's even a little more dressed up than usual, just because.

As soon as Heizou spots him, the bubbles around him promptly pop- only for a whole bunch of pink heart-shaped ones to appear in their place.]

Wanderer~!

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer looks up when he hears his name, frowning in confusion when he sees the pink hearts surrounding Heizou.

And utterly oblivious to the pinkish bubbles popping up around him.]

What are those bubbles?

[book2thehead]

[Heizou hurries over to join him, beaming the whole while. There are... so many pink bubbles. And he chuckles a little while he pokes one of the ones floating around his companion.]

I'm not sure, to be honest. They started appearing a little while ago... And it seems like they change shape depending on who you're with.

[threebetrayals]

So why are they--

[Oh no. He starts to swat the bubbles away from around his head.]

Why pink hearts, of all things?

[book2thehead]

[He smiles while Wanderer does that, even as he pops another one with his finger as it drifts closer to him.]

Hmm~ I wonder! What do you think~?

[Heizou has his theory, of course. But it's one that Wanderer might not want to hear.]

[threebetrayals]

I don't know.

[Honestly, do you think he's going to think that hard about something annoying him?]

Where do you want to eat?

[book2thehead]

[That response just makes Heizou chuckle a little. Typical Wanderer.]

There's a tavern that Venti and I like to go to... Do you wanna try it?

[threebetrayals]

...alright. As long as we can eat outside, if it's too crowded.
