Hey Ada? You talk to powerful people back home a lot, right?

un: ada

[droppingin]

[ it takes her a moment to decide how to respond, after it takes her a moment to decide whether to respond at all, when the un clicks. ]

I've been known to.

Why?

[floresco]

Sanji invited me to be his date when he has his dinner with Pheme and I don't know how I'm supposed to act! You're the most put together person I've ever met, so I thought maybe you'd have some advice.

[droppingin]

[ WELL then. her "advice" wavers between "stab her in the eye with an oyster fork" and "remember that 'dinner' too many of us attended awhile back...' but she takes a breath and takes this in stride, instead. ]

sanji, hmm?

judging from everything she's harped on in her little journals: be quiet, be observant, don't be too remarkable. I'm not sure you want to hold her attention.

[ as if anyone could ignore Aerith. ]

she likes to change the rules.

[floresco]

[ Oh no, not the hmm. Aerith can only imagine the inflection Ada would put on that were this conversation happening aloud. ]

Sanji! Hmm?

[ Two can play at this game! Though, Ada's probably better at it and Aerith knows that - she wouldn't have come to her for advice about this if she didn't. ]

See, I knew asking you was smart. I'm going as his date, and this is his prize, so, I want to make sure he looks good. He seemed really happy about it, anyway.

[droppingin]

[ mmhmm . ]

his date with you is the prize? seems a little presumptuous of our dear lady.

[ she did not misunderstand for a moment. ]

he'll already look good escorting you. but caution is good. who knows why she's showing her face, now.

[floresco]

Maybe she thought I got good grades?

Meeting her is the prize! He just asked me to come since he gets to bring someone. You don't think it's going to be dangerous, do you?

[droppingin]

[ ada is of the opinion that aerith is vastly over-qualified to be a prize. ]

no more dangerous than anything else about this place.

[ which is to say: shrugs? ]

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I'll be surprised if she actually shows her face.

maybe you'll have a nice date, after all.
