[Broke as Rose might be, valentines day is always made out to be such a Big Thing. Unfortunately, Rose also has to work - which is why, when Kanaya wakes up she will discover (2) green roses, (1) valentines day card and (1) tiny gift, wrapped in lavender.

Inside, the card reads: To my valentine, I owe you one breakfast in bed ( ;) ). Love, Rose.

Inside the gift, there is a (tiny heart; one long chain) necklace. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ you have to get up pretty early to beat kanaya, so she's a bit surprised to find the gift. this is the first time she's ever had a real valentine, and she never thought it might be so exciting. after getting dressed, a lot of showing off in the mirror, and thinking too much about just what breakfast in bed entails, she goes to find rose.

approaching from behind, she wraps her arms around her waist and plants a kiss on her cheek. ]

It's lovely! You certainly didn't have to go to the trouble.

[ and, of course, now it means she'll need to step up her valentine's game. ]

[nitidus]

[Rose got up at 5am to make sure her Valentine game was strong. She beams, even if she jumps a little in surprise at the hug. She turns in Kanaya's arms and plants a kiss in return at the corner of her mouth and tuts softly. ]

There was precisely no trouble involved. I'm glad you like it.

[glowsferatu]

Like it is an understatement. I'll never take it off.

[ okay, except when she's in the shower. that's a given. ]

I hope it didn't cost too much.

[nitidus]

A lady never tells her secrets.

[Please take it off in the shower Kanaya. ]

[glowsferatu]

[ hey, at least we already know green looks good on her. though skin is another matter. ]

I just hope it won't be outside our budget. [ especially since she'll have to find a way to top it. handheld sewing machines are killing her romance here. ]

[nitidus]

Not at all.

[She's telling the truth!!! ]

Honestly, you are ruining the mystery!

[glowsferatu]

Sorry, that's not what I intended.

[ she glances back down at it, slipping a hand under the pendant to better admire it. she doesn't really know from jewelry, so she wouldn't be able to tell the real thing from its more affordable equivalent, but that's not what matters anyway. aesthetics and sentiment are what give it real meaning. ]

I suppose I'm thinking of how best to appropriately respond.

[nitidus]

With at least two kisses and a thank you.

[She turns, pushing her cheek towards Kanaya. She gives it a demanding tap with her forefinger. ]

[glowsferatu]

Just the cheek?

[ but she says it with a laugh, pressing her lips just above rose's finger, the lifting it up before repeating the motion. she hasn't put on her makeup yet, so no smudges. lucky her, she thinks. ]

Thank you. But don't think that will come anywhere close to being adequate.

[nitidus]

[Ducking her head down, Rose hides a sly smile. ]

Ridiculous. My plan was to remind you of it and lure you into two kisses a day. It is a flawless plan with absolutely no drawbacks.

[glowsferatu]

As we both know I do so need to be lured.

[ she leans down to peck at her cheek again. ] See, that one was free. Despite my apparent stinginess.

[nitidus]

Such generosity!

[She glances back up, lip caught between her teeth to try and hold off a grin. It is pointless en-devour. ]

The necklace suits you.

[glowsferatu]

[ she glances back down at it, quietly beaming. maybe literally. ]

Well, that should be no surprise. It was very adeptly chosen.

[nitidus]

Well - nothing but the best would do.

[glowsferatu]

[ she looks at rose with what may be he sappiest smile imaginable. ]

That superlative is impossible, I already have you.

[nitidus]

[ridiculous, impressive flatterer seductress!!!!!]

Kanaya Maryam, you stop that.

[glowsferatu]

[ says the girl who just woke her girlfriend up with jewelry. ]

I'm not the one who started, I can't help trying to compensate.

[nitidus]

You really don't have to. I mean, naturally I am eating up all this gratitude and affection - but, really.

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya leans down, resting her forehead on the top of rose's head with a smile. ]

Well, if I weren't good for that, what good would I be? [ just the kind of statement you always worry about hearing out of her, even in that light tone. ]
