Face was, wonder of wonders, awake, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, behind the desk.

Mostly because he'd gotten up early to listen to the radio in case anything interesting had happened during that three minute date business last night. What could he say, he liked gossip, especially when it didn't involve him.

"Well, what can you expect from people with hats like that?"

"Ugh," Cassandra said.

She felt that summed everything up.

"Let us talk about something less annoying," she said. "Have you been reading anything of interest?"

What else could you say about Orlesian hats?

"I read the school calendar and there's a dance next Friday."

Smooth, Face.

Cassandra blinked. "There is?"

She had completely forgotten this was a thing.

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

To be fair, Face had been reading the calendar because he was trying to remember what Valentine's Day actually was. "It's for that holiday they have here, the romantic one?"

"I... vaguely remember something of the kind last year," Cassandra said, and Maker, why was she suddenly blushing?

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Yeah, there was," Face said. "Though I went on my own last year." Which given how he'd made out with Mara there was for the best, really.

"So did I, I believe," Cassandra said. Wait... was he hinting at something? "Ah. I'm sure."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

Yes, yes he was hinting at something. "I don't suppose you'd care to go together this time around?"

Re: Talk to Face

[seeks_truth]

One would have thought she would have assumed that he'd ask, and yet it still came as a surprise.

"Yes!" she exclaimed.

Beat.

"... Pretend that came out at a dignified volume."

Re: Talk to Face

[gavegoodface]

"Of course," Face said, then grinned, like a sap. "It'll be fun. Romantic."

Yeah, he didn't know Isabela was doing the decorating.

Cassandra beamed back.

Shy at first, then full blast.
