Filtered from Ino;

So... suppose you've been dating someone for, say, about a year. Your first anniversary's coming up, and you really want to blow them away.

[Heh, heh. It's something that's been on his mind for several days now. A whole year is a big deal for someone whose last romantic affairs ended in utter despair. Or heartbreak, at the very least.]

I've got a few ideas, but... well, I don't want to give her anything short of the best. I want it to be something she'll remember.

So, yeah, if anyone's got suggestions, I'm all ears.

[Whew. There. That wasn't so bad, right?]

Public;

And by the way, for any New Feathers out there... No, you're not dreaming. No, the Malnosso aren't the ones who brought you here. Yes, there are people with magic, talking ponies, dragons, and turtles, and the barrier's unbreakable.

Filtered to Ino;

...Also, can I talk to you for a second? There's something I want to show you.

[ooc: some replies may be slow while I double check a few things! if it looks like I've skipped your tag, don't worry; I'll get to 'em ASAP. :)]

Short, maybe, but so is Riku.

[One extra letter, and one syllable, too. Jack's also on the short side, heh.]

[voice]

[all7seas]

[But CaptainJackSparrow is gloriously LONG!]

How many babies does she want to have, eh?

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

[Jack, why? Why do you have to ask such an awkward question?

Guh. Give him a second here.]

That kind of thing's confidential.

[Meaning he doesn't know, and that's way too far ahead right now and just... guh. Awkward central.]

[voice]

[all7seas]

Confidential. You mean she's locked it away in a special file?

[Weird.]

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Metaphorically speaking. What I meant to say is that it's private-- something that'll stay between the two of us if it ever comes up.

[voice]

[all7seas]

AH. Say no more, lad! I won't press the issue with you, just wonderin', is all.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

Well, to tell you the truth, I haven't really thought that far ahead. It's a pretty huge step, and in a place like this, I'd rather not rush it.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Aye. [He knows enough about the not-rushing-things to last a lifetime, here.] Wise choice, mate. Why don't you name a star after her? Maychance she's the type to like that sort of flattery.

[voice]

[stilldontgotit]

That'd require some serious stargazing first. After all, I can't go with just any old star.

[voice]

[all7seas]

Aye -- because a woman-creature would feel insulted were she to be compared to an inferior star.
