Signless receives a medium-sized box tied with a pink ribbon and filled with diamond-shaped chocolate-covered cherries, and a note:

They say Vvalentine is the time to tell those you lovve howw you feel about them, so here is somethin I wwrote.

Cherries are red, an your blood is too.
But nevver wwill I consider the hue.
My regard for you is pale as can be.
My life is perfect so long as you're wwith me.
You'll nevver knoww howw deep my feelin goes.
It's like nevver-ending wwaters wwith how far it flowws.
If you wwere taken from me I don't knoww wwhat I'd say.
But I think it'd rupture the bubble wwith howw I'd make evveryone pay.
I lovve how you hold me an pap my fins.
I think in this wway then evveryone wwins.
The humans wwould ask be my vvalentine.
But all I'll ask is to say forevver you'll be mine.

[That is very sweet, but just the tiniest bit possessive and highblooded. They'll have to work on that more.]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, DUALSCAR. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME EAT THESE WITH ME?

[devwocean]

[He poured his heart out on the page]

Wwell, if you wwant to share them then I can't think a anyone better suited.

[onlyasign]

[Sufferer can tell.]

THINGS LIKE THIS ARE ALWAYS BETTER SHARED.
I'M IN THE RESPITEBLOCK, IF YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN ME.

[He's there in a flash, smiling with his fins pricked up happily. He all but pounces Signless, wrapping him up in a hug]

You liked my poem? I wworked on it all wweek.

[onlyasign]

[Sufferer hugs him back.]

I did! I could tell you worked really hard on it!

[devwocean]

[Wow, he's actually happy. He rumbles and grabs a chocolate, then holds it up for Signless to eat]

Wwell, I did. I don't knoww that I'm vvery good at poetry.

[onlyasign]

Thank you.

[Sufferer takes the chocolate and eats it, his eyebrows rising with surprise as it melts in his mouth. It's good, if a little sloppy.]

Did you make these too?

[devwocean]

Yes! [He's so proud] I made them wwith my vvery owwn prongs. [Also Zelda helped]

[onlyasign]

They're delicious!

[It's nice seeing Dualscar so proud of things like poetry and chocolate-making, and Sufferer reaches up to indulge himself a little and ruffle Dualscar's hair.]

[devwocean]

[Wow, praise is great, but hair ruffling gets a bit of a squirm and a scowl. Still, Signless likes the efforts he made and that makes it worthwhile]

I'm glad you liked them. Real glad.

[onlyasign]

[Hey, Dualscar ruffles his hair all the time! It's only far that he gets his own ruffled occasionally!]

It's nice that you spent so much time on them. Thank you.

[devwocean]

[Oh wow, that startles him a bit and his fins flick, but he relaxes and only subtly smooths his hair back down when Signless stops the ruffling]

You're vvery wwelcome.
