[ Oh, what's this... With no context, it's either a misfire or a slim chance that somebody is thinking about him, and that always feels nice even though he squashes down the feeling right away and response back with the belief that either of these can be true and he won't get his hopes up.

As such, Nana gets a picture back, of a snow horse wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat. There's... maybe a snowman next to it, but it could also just be a lumpy pile of snow, laying flat on the ground. It's all an illusion, but holds up on camera. ]

[playitagain]

Oh my gosh there was another one!

[suddenlybees]

There's another one!!
Where'd you find yours?
Wishing for summer in that getup...
I feel the same way!

[playitagain]

Hee hee. It looked like the sort of thing you'd like! They look like they're ready for vacation.

The one I found is by the English building.

[suddenlybees]

Yep~ It looks like they're having lots of fun!
Are you coming back from English class?
How was it?

[ Is that a class he was also supposed to be in... Oh well...... ]

[playitagain]

It was pretty interesting! I feel like my English is still catching up though. I'm so much better with French...

[The woes of native Japanese. And learning American English, not British English, in school.]

But then one of the TA's tried to teach us how to compose love poems for the Valentine's Dance.

[suddenlybees]

You're a hard worker, so you'll do well!!
Stuff like languages, it's best if you practice them every day, isn't it?
Speaking and writing and all that!
How 'bout you practice by writing some Valentines poems to me?
I'll look over them for you!

i literally had to go make an icon of her blushing

[playitagain]

[Now she's turning red in the face in the middle of the walk home.]

I'm not any good at poetry though!!

I can write lots of other things like scripts and stories! And sing! And act!

But poetry is...um... I've never done it before!

adflkjh I'm glad

[suddenlybees]

All the more reason to practice, isn't it?
And you're in luck, because I've written lots of poems!
Here, here, I'll start you off~
It's a classic!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,

of course then my OCD self had to play with the hue saturations and mess up my keywords.....

[playitagain]

[Still red-faced. She actually ducked to the side to try to write this out, so it's about five minutes.]

Poetry is tricky but I guess it's like a song,
So maybe I can sing it too?

...I'm not sure it came out right...

[suddenlybees]

It's a good start, a good start~
See, the trick with poetry is this!
As long as you break the lines up a little,
anything can read like a poem~
But you gotta remember you're writing for somebody else!
So something like this~

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Poetry is tricky,
but there's no need to be picky,
because it's just like a song,
so I'll sing it to you~

[playitagain]

Oh, now I think I see! Yes, it's the first rule of any performance: you must think of the audience before all else.

Let me try again...

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Bananas are golden,
And bees are too
Which is why I have a lot of fun with you!

How's that?

[suddenlybees]

A quick learner!!
Wonderful!
Bravo~!!!
You're a natural born poet, Nana-chan~
But remember what I said about breaking up the lines?

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Bananas are golden,
And bees are too!
Which is why
I have a lot of fun with you!

This reads a lot smoother, right?
It'll be easier to get used to if you're saying it out loud!
How about it?
I can call you?

[playitagain]

A natural born poet...?

I think I need to work on this natural talent that I have neglected for the last sixteen years.

[She laughs, though. Call her?

Well...]

That sounds great.

[suddenlybees]

[ There's no time like the present to work on it, right? There's a lot of catching up to do, after all!

So--

ring ring ring ]

[playitagain]

[And she picks it up!]

Hello~!

[suddenlybees]

Hello, hello! I'd like to order a pizza! None pizza with left beef, to be delivered to the Lumière dormitories, please~

[playitagain]

[Nana starts laughing because she tries to picture the pizza. (She has not seen the meme.)]

That sounds very hard to make, I'll have you know!

[suddenlybees]

[ All these wasted memes!!! but the laugh makes Kano laugh, and that sort of reaction is better than a groan, or simply hanging up the phone. ]

You're a baking master, aren'tcha? I'm sure you can make it work!

[playitagain]

I am a good baker. I probably could manage.

...not before I got home, though.

[There's no oven here, after all.]

Also I'm not sure what a "none" pizza is, exactly...

[suddenlybees]

He~h, no way! We have to fix that right away! You're heading back to the dorms, right? I can meet you in the kitchen, and we can make none pizza! The beef is optional~

[ So... they're going to make bread... ]

But that aside, while I have you on the phone~ How 'bout that poem? How 'bout you try saying it out loud?

[playitagain]

I think that's bread. There's so many other types of bread we can make...

[That, you know, taste better than vaguely garlic-y pizza dough.

She blinks, though. Then:]

A-ah, well... yes, I can do that. [A deep breath, and a moment later:]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Bananas are golden,
And bees are too!
Which is why
I have a lot of fun with you!

[suddenlybees]

[ He's already smiling from the prospect of freshly baked bread, even if they're boring none pizza bread, but it brightens even more when he hears her repeat the poem. Even if the poem doesn't make a lick of sense, because the color of things don't have any bearing on whether they're having fun or not. ]

Haha~ I have lots of fun with you too! This'll definitely impress your TA! How about another one?

[playitagain]

Oh, the first one I did?

[She decides his is better. So she uses his version, once again.]

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Poetry is tricky,
but there's no need to be picky,
because it's just like a song,
so I'll sing it to you~

[She makes the last couple of lines a sing-song.]

[suddenlybees]

[ He did say another one... It's what he asked, anyways, for her to practice saying them, even though even he feels like it's a cop-out prewriting poems to be delivered back to himself. ]

Pretty good, pretty good~ Feel like you got the hang of it now? To write poems on your own?
