[Filtered to Belca and Linna;]

You know there's a new district, right? [A pause; well, he's not supposed to be out and about, don't give him hell for this.] Don't tell me you two've been inside all weekend... That's really boring.

[/end filter]

Now, the rest of you... Did you have fun with your sweethearts, Splendor? Tell Eco all about it!

If only Iria was here... [sigh. Iria~

And no, he didn't really realize he said that out loud.]

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

W-well, you're right about that, but still...

Re: [voice]

[calere]

No buts! You're gonna write her a song, and you're gonna practice it, and when you see her you're gonna sing it!

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

[Eco, if you could see his face now. It is totally asking "Are you serious?!"]

...B-but t-there's n-no way I could write a song! [He wouldn't be able to sing it either.]

[voice]

[calere]

Sure you can! It's easy! Haven't you ever heard one before?

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

Of course I've heard one... But it doesn't mean I could write it. It's not that easy, is it?

[voice]

[calere]

I've never found it very hard... I'm sure someone as smart-seeming as you could do it.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

But isn't writing a song similar to writing a poem?

I don't think being smart has anything to do with writing things like that...

[voice]

[calere]

Do you know how to write a poem?

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

Well, I know the basics. [For some reason he never was too interested in poetry.]

[voice]

[calere]

Then you can write a basic love song! Here, here, let me start you off...

A beautiful young maiden, just as you are,
have stayed in my heart, though you are far.

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

...You have a really nice singing voice...

[Wait!]

I-I can't... think of anything... A-and it's kind of embarrassing to sing things like that...[But he wouldn't have much problem with singing it, if it was already written somewhere and someone would ask him to read it.]

[voice]

[calere]

Thanks! [Hummm...]

What do you like about her? Describe her looks... her personality... How you feel about her! And why do you...

[voice]

[demonicbookworm]

Why do I...? [curious what you wanted to ask about, but in any case...]

...Um, she has short red hair... and she looks really cute when she smiles... B-but she can laugh in a really creepy way too... A-and like I said earlier she's really strong-willed and short-tempered...

[siigh]

I... like her, but... there's no way she'd ever like someone like me...
