[Post 044] Action for Vermillion City (Private to Envy & Backdated to Valentine's Day)

[francia]

[When Envy wakes up on the 14th of February, he'll find France off to work early for once. In place of him, there's a paper with the time for that evening's sunset and an acrostic poem pinned to the pillowcase beneath Envy's head, reading:]

More than most,
Everyone, maybe,
Envies what you give
To me, daily.

Morning, noon, and night,
Ever do I desire and wait

On your considerate and
Nuanced gaze

To fall upon me,
Here, now, and
Evermore.

Because it is you that
Eases my heart but
Accelerates it, too;
Captivating my heart and eyes,
Hungry as I am for you.

Always,
Til these hours wane and

Sun and moon and stars become our province,
Until and beyond,
Never will I love you less,
So deep and true these feelings run.
Every day they bloom and grow:
Tonight, tomorrow, and evermore.

[Close to sunset, Envy should receive a picture text on his Pokégear of the view from one of the two sand inlets at the Harbor. The picture clearly shows part of the docked S.S. Anne and the tail of France's Milotic in the surf.]

By now, I've gotta say I agree with that.

[Envy follows France down to sit beside him, watching curiously as France starts taking the ingredients out. He does recognize them, after a minute, and then looks excited.]

Hey, I haven't had fondue in a long time.

[France smirks slightly as he turns on the stove and adds a healthy splash of wine..]

It's never too late to fondue with the one you love.

[He snorts a little, though, because, clearly, that's the corniest thing he's said in a while. Picking up cubed cheese (the closest approximations he could find to Gruyère and Emmental) with minced garlic mixed in, he sets the bowl on his knee while the wine is brought to a melting temperature.]

Fondue is really something that you need to have the right company with to enjoy.
