"H... hello? Um, this is me-- ah, Noire! I'm Noire, and I'm very sorry for missing you somehow... I promise I'm not avoiding you, unless you're scary or you're Mo-- trying to curse me. U-um, so when I can figure out how to-- ( beeps ensue, followed by a shriek of fright ) O-oh, no! What did I push, how do I-- make it-- oh gods, did I break it?! W-why can't we just talk in person?!"

[ BEEP. ]

He...?

[She just blinks at Noire blankly, so innocent.

... ???]

So if he didn't sing to you, what did he do for your birthday?

[bloodandblunder]

O-oh! Um, I can show you, actually... if you'd like?

[ AT LEAST PART OF IT... ]

[intendance]

[yeah don't show her all of it, he might get jealous]

Ohhh! Yes, please do! Show me, show me!

[bloodandblunder]

Hold on-- [ She's got to duck in and find it, now carefully placed atop her stand, and then she'll return and present it to Morgan-- her little jar vase with the paper roses. ]

He made this himself, actually...

[intendance]

[She blinks at it--and then her expression melts into a quieter smile, because wow, that's...that's precious.]

Wow, those are so pretty!

[Awww...]

He's adorable, isn't he? I suppose he's a good match for you after all.

[bloodandblunder]

You weren't still worried about that, were you? B-because he really is wonderful and caring and--

[ she's so smitten it hurts. ]

[intendance]

[Oh my god Noire]

No, I wasn't still worried about it, but if I was, your reaction would make it preeeeetty obvious that it wouldn't matter either way, ha ha! Wow, you two sure are in love, aren't you?

[bloodandblunder]

I... I do really like him a lot, but I'm not sure if-- I've never been in love before...

[ she's had crushes and she's loved people, but... she's not sure how to explain it. ]

[intendance]

Well, there's no rush anyway.

[DON'T WORRY NOIRE.]

You'll figure it out for yourself, I'm sure of it!

[bloodandblunder]

I'd like to... whatever it is, I really want to cherish it.

[intendance]

[... awww. Morgan just smiles at that--it's sweet, and she loves hearing it.]

Good thing we probably have tons of time together! You'll have even more time to get to know him in all sorts of ways.

[Probably not meant as dirty as it sounds.]

[bloodandblunder]

[ Boy is she turning red-- ]

O-one way at a time, I think...

[intendance]

[Why are you turning red though.]

Huh? Noire, are you all right? Your face is all red!

[bloodandblunder]

I-it's a little warm in here-- I'm fine!

[ SHE'LL ONLY LIE IN THIS CASE. ]

[intendance]

[Well, Morgan buys it.]

Should we go outside so you can get some air...?

[bloodandblunder]

I-if you don't mind... I'm sorry for worrying you.

[intendance]

All right! You never have to apologize for that, silly--worrying about you is just a state of being when you're my best friend!

[She'll just manhandle Noire (gently) out the door.]

Phew! How's that?

I'm glad the weather is so much better now, really.

[bloodandblunder]

It's much warmer and less wet... but thank you. [ yep, that blush is dying down. ] I think this is about as close to fresh air as we'll get.

[intendance]

It's definitely better than it was...

[She sighs, shrugging.]

Well, I like it! It feels like eternal spring, don't you think?

[bloodandblunder]

Mm! If things stay calm for just a little longer, maybe we could do some sort of... um, small outing?

[intendance]

An outing...?

[She considers that thoughtfully for a moment, before beaming.]

Like a picnic? Ohhh, can we do a picnic? With food!

[bloodandblunder]

I've never heard of a picnic without food, Morgan.

[intendance]

[shhhhhh]

And we can invite all of our friends, right?

[bloodandblunder]

I wonder if we'd have enough food... not that I mind, but you do seem to know everyone.

[intendance]

[... ... .......]

All right, so maybe not all of my friends.
