[ Anya, you're too adorable, help.

He'll save them for later! ~~The good luck one made him laugh, though. Always appreciated!~~ ]

It does look like spam, doesn't it? Perhaps I should have worded this better.

You were chosen because your name was submitted for the event. Apparently, someone thought you could use some love for Valentine's.

[ Doing what he wants. Relatable! ]

Fantastic! As long as it's good, I'm OK with anything.

[ That's not asking for too much, is it? Seriously, though, it's been a while since he last ate these kinds of foods, so he thinks it's a great idea. ]

Let's both try our Valentine's Day luck and see where that gets us. Worst comes to worst, there's always frozen food.

Oh, trust me, I only eat the best.

[ Best in... his opinion, that is. ]

I'm gonna go ahead and make it clear that I don't have any plans of leaving you eating frozen food. Romantic or not, I can't leave you with some crazy idea that I'm an awful date.

[ Look, if this is going to be a thing, he's going to make it the best possible thing ever, all right? But... as he said he'd do, he's messaging Viktor approximately an hour later with: ]

Unless you had better luck than me, I do have one idea that I think is way better than cramming into a crowded restaurant.

I'll trust you. That's the least I can do for my Valentine's Day date 😉.

Good luck!

[ Viktor is going to make a couple of calls and find out that, yes, he can get reservations at certain places, but... none of them are good choices for a date that's not meant to be romantic. On the 14th. Even though Viktor finds this slightly frustrating, he's also very amused by the whole situation.

And then Gladio writes. He hadn't given up on finding a good alternative yet, but this sounds potentially better. ]

Oh? I'm intrigued.

Well, I know it's probably not the time of year for it, but I do know how to grill a mean steak.

As long as you're not allergic to dogs or something, we could just hang out at my place with Rufus and maybe a couple of beers.

[ Who did this? Anya wouldn't have... Yuri? Huh... ]

Do you know who it was?

[ That sounds like he has enough place for two dogs. Gladio, you have no idea how happy you've made him. This person takes his dog along whenever he can, dance studio, bar and coffee shops included. Gotta make up for lost time. ]

That sounds great, actually. [ But it won't be just a couple of beers... It's Valentine's Day! ] Want to make this a double date? I can bring Makkachin to keep Rufus company, hopefully they'll get along.

[ And about a minute later. ]

We'll have to keep an eye on the food if I bring him. He's an old dog but he still loves food too much.

[ Oh, yes. Definitely no problem with this guy bringing his dog -- he enjoys letting Rufus make friends, after all. Annnnd yeah, it won't be a couple of beers if he gets relaxed enough. Which, is possible since it'll just be the two of them plus a pair of dogs. The best kind of setting (in his opinion), honestly, for kicking back. ]

Yeah, sure. No problem on this end. Rufus is great with other animals, and the more exposure the better.

[ ...Well, he might know a way to keep the old guy busy. ]

Well, actually, do you have a problem with him eating people food? Whenever I cook a meal for other people, I like to make something special for Rufus. I don't mind tossing something on the grill for Makkachin while I'm at it. Anything he can't have aside from the obvious?

Perhaps. Perhaps not. It depends on how badly you'd like to know.

[ Souji's generally trying not to say who signed up who because you know... ratting people out, but if Viktor truly does want to know and push for it, Souji will definitely say. ]

Just the obvious. He's not an omnivore, no matter how much he insists... And he doesn't usually eat people food, but I can make an exception. He'll love you for it.

How about we meet up at Recollé Square at 7PM? Makkachin's a standard poodle and we have each other's profile picture. I'll also bring my card so we can buy some beers when we're close to your place, I'll pay for that since you're cooking.

Rufus is the same way. Caught him trying to get into a bag of chips just the other day.
I don't do anything super special to the food I'll be making for them, so there won't be any spices or ingredients that could hurt them.

Sure thing. Rufus is a chocolate lab.
Well, if you insist on buying. Just know I have no problem doing it.

Haha, it sounds like they'll be dangerous together.

I insist. As much as I enjoy being wooed, I don't want you thinking I'm an awful date either.

MR NIKIFOROV LOOK @ THIS

[ at least she manages to spell it right even if her pronunciation still leaves something to be desired ]

DO U THINK I COULD EVER LEARN HOW TO DANCE LIKE THAT??

[ Honoka you're being cute ]

Oh, I remember him

[ This dancer was in So You Think You Can Dance! And Viktor was a judge in the AU version of that show SO....... ]

That depends! How much do you want to?

hm!!! i guess it depends!! it looks like it takes a lot of rly good muscle control to be able to move like that?? itd probably take a while to learn. is it somethin i could do w/o skimping on the dancing i do 4 work?

its so cool and i wanna try it.......

I'm glad, it's one of my favorite dance styles. And learning hip-hop properly would be good for your control even as an idol.

If you're determined, no one can decide your limits but you. However, with the level of dedication you have right now, it will be impossible 💖 So you'll have to work extra hard!

If you decide you want to try it, I can think of a training menu for you to start with, and you'll also have to take two or three more classes. But as long as you stick to them, I'll help.

[ yeowch. harsh. but she guesses it's kind of warranted. Viktor probably didn't get to where he is by patting people's butts all the time.

she lays there, futzing around with her phone and thinking it over for a bit before she texts back. ]

i wanna try it!!

itll be tough but all the classes so far have been rly fun. even when im aching everywhere and i kind of want to die?? its still so cool to think "wow i can do this thing i could never do before". you know?? so like. i guess it could only rly be a good idea especially if itll help out with everything else too

＼＼\(۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶//／／ IM GONNA DO MY BEST!!

[ Hmm? So Honoka's really interested...

Well, that's going to be fun. He replies easily, wondering for how long she'll be able to stick to this. If she can, he has no doubts that she'll be able to improve a lot! He does believe Honoka has potential, and he loves challenges. ~~She'll want to die for sure as a result of this.~~ ~~But it will be worth it!~~ ]

That's what I like to read ✨✨✨

OK! Come see me anytime after tomorrow. I'll have something planned for you 👏

A force to be reckoned with.

Sounds like a plan then. I'll take care of the food, you take care of the drinks. I'll probably be okay with just about anything you get, anyway. I'm not picky.

🍖🐕🐕😱😱

OK! Leave it to me. I'll buy that on our way to your place, since I'll be coming directly from work

[in the morning, Viktor will get a message that's probably not meant for him.]

Ich werde anrufen, wenn ich nicht arbeite. Versprochen.

[...prompto had gotten busy the past couple of days, making it thus a bit difficult for him to print out the photograph he had taken and come around to hand it over to viktor. instead, he makes some time on his sunday morning, and heads on over to viktor's dance studio.]

[he's not sure if they open on sundays, and perhaps he should have checked...? but, nonetheless, he tries the door, peering inside through the glass...]

Помогите

[that's not at all a concerning message to get first thing in morning, right? even though all it says is "help" in Russian

no way

except it's followed up with another message that is still completely in Russian

(and to explain why she's not using a patronymic for viktor even though that's technically how you formally address someone in Russian, we're going with the fact that Anya is perpetually Way Too Forward - though at least she's not using a full diminutive?)]

viktor! you still understand me, right? please

[so maybe she's

a little shaken]

[ Viktor was stretching, waiting for Yuuri and the Zumba crowd to arrive, when he gets this message. And he has a moment of "wait, what" before, well, using his translation app ~~because he totally assumes it's an Agency thing~~. And when he sees what it says, he's even more confused!

...That's when he checks who sent it.

He chuckles in relief and automatically types a response into the translator. Then he copies the translation and sends it back. ]

OK, ich werde warten! Ich bin neugierig. Aber lass uns auf Englisch reden 🙏🙏🙏
