Endeca (February) 14

[heartofalioness]

[Towards the end of the day, a LARGE bouquet of mixed roses and a gourmet box of assorted truffles is delivered with a note.]

Dear Usagi,

Thank you so much for all your kindness, support, and courage throughout my time here. I’m so glad to be your friend. Since you spend so much time taking care of us, Setsuna and I worked together for the second part of your gift. You’ll find that your schedule for tomorrow is completely cleared, save for an all-afternoon appointment at the Jade Dragon spa.

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Allura

[Allura, will be getting this message when Usagi finally gets home.]

EEEEEEHHHH?!!!!!!???!

H-How!?!? I've got two wedding consultations and-and finalization for a business banquet!

I can't I mean- I- what did you tell them!

[heartofalioness]

[Ah, she had a feeling this might be the response she got.]

Just the truth: that you've been working very hard the past few weeks and had forgotten to give yourself time to recover from the Valentine's Day rush. [And other things, but Allura thought it would've been a bit much to bring personal matters into Usagi's work and embarrass her.] They all agreed that the 16th and 17th would work just as well for their plans, and that such a helpful and reliable consultant deserves a break too. And good evening to you too.

[lightthedarkness]

Why do I feel like trying to argue about this would just cause you to physically drag me there? [And Allura easily has her on physical strength when she's not a senshi.]

[heartofalioness]

Tempting as that is, I can't; I have plans tomorrow. I'd see if Hunk or Keith were available and they'd drag you for me. Hunk is especially skilled at lifting AND guilt tripping people into self-care at the same time.

[Nah, she wouldn't, but she is glad that Usagi's not fighting this. And oooooh plans~?]

[lightthedarkness]

What're your plans?

[heartofalioness]

Matt made me promise to take a break of my own; we've both been so busy with the aftermath of the arson, the committee meeting, and Valentine's Day, he insisted we needed to unwind, so we're going ice skating.

[Said in the most platonic and oblivious way possible, THIS SLOW BURN PRINCESS.]

[lightthedarkness]

Oh? [Look, Usagi can't catch any hints when it comes to Allura and romance. Why? Well because Allura is so blasé about such a statement that Usagi just assumes it's about a friend looking out for a friend. She'd have to see them together.]

Well, you're insisting I unwind and I'm not even doing half of that, so yeah, I agree with him.

[heartofalioness]

[Maybe someday~]

As did I. [Probably after quite a bit of insisting, but SHHHHH Usagi doesn't need to know how hypocritical she's being.] Thank you for not fighting me about this, by the way.

[lightthedarkness]

Ah well... [How to say this without being... mean.] Um... it's more... Setsuna-san, you see. She's... well, let's... just say you listen when she talks.

[heartofalioness]

Ah, I know the kind; Shiro's the same way when the situation's that serious.

[And how Allura WISHES she could be, but can't really without veering into outright nagging or drill sergeant.]

[lightthedarkness]

Well, I mean, this isn't that serious. Just ya know... taking a break. You guys make this a bigger deal than it is.

[heartofalioness]

True, it's not that serious.

[Yet, and it's a very audible "yet." Nip the problem in the bud, after all.]

In any case, Happy Valentine's Day, Usagi.

[lightthedarkness]

You too, Allura-chan.
