[hunt_theheart]

*Curio has just gotten back from a trip to visit a neighbouring lord's court, and he has a present for a very dear friend, if Valentine will consent to being found. in pursuit of this goal, Curio is wandering in all of Valentine's favourite haunts--the gardens, the tailor's, the milliner's, and the court--with a box under one arm*
