[ Lorenz will be receiving a video message, considering Qih'sae hasn't quite mastered the keyboard. ]

Lorenz, right? I was the winning bid for you in the charity auction. Well, I was voting on behalf of a friend but...

Well, I was reaching out to see if you had any preferences! I was thinking dinner? Somewhere nice, don't worry. Aymeric will love it.

[ There are so many details missing in this message, Qih'sae...here's the link tho! ]

[Give Lorenz a minute- maybe two- because he could not possibly answer any video call without looking salon fresh. And, hmm— the auction.]

Oh— yes, hello. Dinner would be very nice! Ah- [Is this standard? Who is Aymeric? He has so many questions, but first...]

If I may. Did you... That is, you must have read the poem in the... advertisement. Did your friend read it?

[He is serious, this is a real concern.]

[ Atta boy, Lorenz. Always looking your best. ]

I did! And I'm sure he did too. Is that a problem?

I rather liked it. Are you a poet by trade?

[ Qih'sae is extremely lame, he loved it. ]

[Wow, the 3-second emotional roller coaster Lorenz goes through between "I did" and "I rather liked it"... He asked and yet it was bad for his heart.]

I— no, my poetry is only a hobby... Honestly, it was not supposed to be there! But you liked it? Truly? Is that why you...?

[Lorenz is embarrassed and also delighted? It's obvious.]

[ It's cool, we all have our talents and our tastes. Qih'sae's aren't particularly standard. But then he grew up in the woods, he doesn't exactly read poetry for fun. ]

You're very good for it to only be a hobby! [ Bless him. ] But yes, I thought your poem was very sweet. You seem like you would get on well with my friend, Aymeric.

[At least nice boys (from the woods) like his poetry? The date auction prank has gone well, in the end.]

Well, thank you! I admit it could have been more polished, but your kind words are much appreciated. [hmm hmm! excellent.] Would you tell me a little about your friend?

[ Save him an autograph when you become famous, Lorenz. ]

Ah, yes! His name is Aymeric de Borel. Ser Aymeric, if we're being formal. He's a friend from home. A good man, as tall as he is handsome, with dark hair and blue eyes.

[ He's a very tall (we're talking 6'9") elf, he will likely forget to mention that. ]

[He'll be famous on Prismagram for aesthetic poetry posts in no time.]

Oh, a noble? Or perhaps a knight? [Hmm, that's kind of a relief...] And what about interests, or hobbies?

[He'd do this himself with a mental checklist if it weren't, you know, this date auction thing. Qih'sae, congrats on becoming the primary source this time.]

[ Liked, followed, subscribed! ]

A knight, yes. Or is it both? I think it's both. [ He's a bastard. ] He's the Lord Commander of the Holy Knights of Ishgard, which is a country back where we're from. He was practically married to his work, so I think his only other hobby outside work might be cooking. Oh, and dancing. I hear he's very good.

[ Qih'sae is clearly rooting for him here, hot nobles work well together, right? ]

[Hot nobles obviously go together, it's a rule of nature. Lorenz may be a weird nerd who thinks that being super hardworking is the most appealing thing in that description, but you know, it still counts...]

I'll be sure to jot that down. [Literally? Who can say.] He sounds like a desirable match for a promising evening, indeed! You've certainly mastered the art of promoting your friends.

[Earnest compliment. Good job?? He's tentatively into this now.]

[ He's definitely going to like Aymeric. Wow, Qih'sae, you really are good at this! And dumb enough to take that as a compliment. ]

I'm glad you like the sound of him! [ His ears wiggle with joy as he chuckles. ] There's certainly a lot to promote with Aymeric, he's a dear friend and I want him to have a nice time and meet more people.

[Ah, ear wiggle... briefly distracting, but he's focused, he is.]

Rest assured, for his sake and mine I will endeavor to give him an evening he will treasure for weeks to come. [Generously, weeks. He'll do his level best.] As for you, should I complete a verse worthy of publishing, perhaps you can tell me what you think.

[Two birds, one stone, rate and review his poetry sometime please.]

[ You got yourself a deal, buddy. ]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ Gotta admire a guy who's that confident, ok. He'll hear about their date one way or another. ]

Oh, I'd love that! Do let me know, I'll be waiting.

[ He really did like his poetry... ah, there's no accounting for taste. ]

Certainly; you'll be the first to know.

[Poetry club... get. Ah, also--]

And... in the event that said verse takes some time, thank you. For all of this. I can't tell you how relieved I am that someone with sense and good friends, um, won me.

[He says it like this lighthearted thing, but believe him, it was harrowing pretty much the entire time his holo-face was up there.]

Excellent!

[ This is it. This is how it starts... ]

It's nothing, don't worry about it! I'm glad I followed my instincts and chose to bid on you. I'm sure the two of you will have a lovely time!

[ It has secretly been Qih'sae's dream to set his friends up on blind dates, so this is a win-win in his book. ]

[His instincts... endearing! So enthusiastic.]

Thank you, yes... Did you- that is, are you going on an outing of your own?

[Is it polite to ask?! Date auction bidder etiquette is beyond him, but a nice young man deserves to have a nice time, too.]

[ He's an excitable one alright. ]

Hm? Oh, me? No, I didn't exactly plan that far ahead...

[ He just doesn't think sometimes, it's a common occurrence. ]

I did sign up for skating lessons, but I didn't actually check when those would be happening.

You didn't... check. [My guy... buy a day planner.]

I've never skated, myself. Nevertheless, I hope you can sort out the schedule and have a good time.

Not at all! It's not as though I've been particularly busy since arriving here.

[ He smiles. Does he... take pride in signing up blindly for mundane tasks? Perhaps. ]

Neither have I, I'm looking forward to learning! Hopefully once this triple moon business is over. I can't balance myself very well with these wings.
