Oh dear... there's only a week left until Mother's Day! I'm not sure if I can come up with a suitable idea in that short amount of time...

My mama is very amazing, you see, so I need to figure out something appropriate! She's very beautiful, and very smart, and very calm, and she helps me take care of Mr. Erde when he's sad, and papa says he'd completely put romance out of his mind but once he met mama he knew that he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life even if people thought it was strange! So you see, she's that sort of wonderful person.

I apologize for not asking his permission before inviting you, Miss Vashti. I will ask him or Miss Grace before making an concrete arrangements with you.

[areyoulovers]

Oh, no, it's all right! I should have let you know that he was probably watching our conversation very carefully!

... That would have been best, yes. No, not at all. It is perfectly acceptable for one's guardians to look over them at every moment. I am sure if Gabranth were a member of this community, that he would be doing the very same thing.

[areyoulovers]

Hmm... well, he's not legally my guardian, but I suppose that's a very accurate description!

[solidork.livejournal.com]

I would hope so.

[solidork.livejournal.com]

I suppose that he would not, your parents are both alive.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

This isn't a matter of channels and invitations.

[solidork.livejournal.com]

Please, kindly enlighten me.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You don't see anything wrong with inviting a young girl to a place very far from her home when she hardly knows you?

[solidork.livejournal.com]

This is not the first time I have spoken with Miss Vashti, however I can understand your concern. Nothing I say will reassure you that my intentions are pure, I will gladly drop off the flowers for her mother if such is the case.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

If it was at a neutral meeting point, that might be best.

[areyoulovers]

Mr. Erde...! I know that you worry, but his world sounds very interesting to see!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Mileina, I understand that you want to explore new places, but you don't even know if it's safe.

[areyoulovers]

What if you came with me, Mr. Erde? Then it would be safe!

[solidork.livejournal.com]

If you insist, I will meet you wherever you deem is acceptable.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Things are very busy here at the moment. I don't think I can leave.

[areyoulovers]

Mr. Erde, in all the years that I've known you, you've never taken a vacation, not one! If you like, I can look at your file and let you know how many weeks of leave you have saved! I know that things need to be done, but many other people can organize that for a day!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Wait, please. It seems Mileina has other ideas that need to be discussed.

[solidork.livejournal.com]

Please, take your time I do not wish to hurry you. When you do reach a conclusion, do not hesitate to contact me.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

That isn't necessary, I know how much leave I have. There are many things that nobody else can do for me - I can't just let them pile up.

[areyoulovers]

But we'd only be there for less than a day, Mr. Erde!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...

Where did you say this place was?

[areyoulovers]

It's a world called Ivalice!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Your full name?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Ivalice. And where in Ivalice would we be going?
