Minako Arisato shared a photo. February 14th near Recollé University

The baking party has started and the first batch of Minako's Valentine's Day Festa truffles is done! And will be eaten while I frost the cupcakes, hehehe. Come by the RU kitchens any time you like, I'll literally be here all night with my friends Chocolate, Sprinkles, and Coffee. Let me know if you need directions!

[ooc: action and mingling encouraged, and threadjacking is okay! free for all characters to come to. also technically forward dated because time zones]

[mercurio]

[he'll arrive shortly after her message, hoping to--surprise her, because the point was that it was going to be a surprise! he's probably easy to spot anyway, nad he looks a bit downcast about it.]

[so, with a pout, he approaches minako and hands over this, thanks to the help of his friends at the flowershop.]

Here you go...

[lmao delivery tho]

[complementing]

[She's not even going to comment on the delivery because. She looks absolutely floored. It's one thing for her to receive things from Ryoji and Mikoto, because they're her oldest friends and gifts for friends on Valentine's Day is a thing back in Japan. But for someone else outside that tight circle to go out of his way to give her something--]

I...wow. You didn't have to, Prompto, but thank you. [She shakes off a little bit of the surprise and smiles, warm but suddenly flustered, at him. But that makes her more flustered, so Minako redirects her gaze to the card attached to the bouquet.] Thank you so much. It really has made my day.

[mercurio]

[prompto but grins]

I'm glad! I thought it would be an appropriate show of how much I cherish our friendship. Thank you for putting up with me all this time, Minako.

[complementing]

[It's easier to look up again once the conversation loops back to him. She shakes her head fondly.]

Nothing to put up with! You've been a wonderful friend ever since the beginning, and I'm really touched that you thought of me, Prompto. [She takes in a deep breath of the scent of the blooms, and feels an odd kind of contentment settle over her.] Thank you again. I'm sorry I didn't think to get you girichoco or anything but-- you're welcome to help yourself to all the things I've baked today!

[mercurio]

You make it sound like I did this just to get a helping of everything!

[his smile doesn't diminish, becoming instead more honest and genuine, after hearing minako's words that there's nothing to put up with. he seeks that kind of validation, even if he doesn't explicitly voice it out.]

I'll get a complementary batch, but I'll pay for the rest! You worked hard on them after all.

[complementing]

You know I didn't mean it like that!

[She shoots him a little pout that smooths out into a little grin to match his.]

I'll make the complimentary batch really big then. [She carefully sets down the bouquet onto the counter and then folds up a pink pastry box with expert precision.] Alright, where do you want to start?

[mercurio]

[prompto smiles and starts looking around]

How about some cookies and tons of chocolate? I'll trust your expert choice on what's delicious.

[complementing]

Coming right up!

[Her tongs snap up cookies and chocolate truffles with lightning speed. Next is the brownies, and then a couple squares of tea cakes. She finishes it off with a few fruit tarts-- "something lighter for your palate," she remarks-- and then one single, huge strawberry daifuku.]

Tadaaah!

[mercurio]

[prompto immediately starts, soon as he receives this grand selection of sweets]

You couldn't possibly have thought of giving me all this for no charge! Tally me up an amount, c'mon!

[fair is fair]

[complementing]

[She hums thoughtfully as she shuts the box and tapes the top down.]

Five dollars? That's what Dave is giving me to chip in for ingredients.
