5th Swing - [Video/Text] 25% locked from Clove
[When Cato pops up on the screen he doesn't look as...grumpy as usual. No, that's been replaced with nerves. A lot of them. Which only serve to make him actually twice as grumpy as usual. So it's all a big fat lie.
He seems to be trying to figure out exactly how to go about speaking before finally beginning very hesitantly.]
So.
[All he can think at this point is that it would just be in his best interest to close his journal now. But he keeps going... albeit hesitantly.]
Say hypothetically you wanted to do something...nice...
[He grits his teeth when he says it. Like the the mere idea of him being nice personally offends him or maybe it's just the word itself. But he can get through this question, or so he tells himself.]
...for someone, like...take them out on a date orsomething. What would be good? To do? I've tried thinking of things for her and nothing sounds right.
[It's then that he realizes he just let himself talk without editing himself and whups that is a no-go. Because he's really nervous and really unsure of himself -- both of which aren't him. So he ends the post. Only to write in a few pages later:]
how do you tell a girls dress size?

It's her birthday. Or it's going to be.
I wanted to... I dunno. Dosomethingspecial.
[It's amazing how much of a stupid seventeen year old he is.]
So, a picnic would be good?
video;
She grins at the news. She loves birthdays! ]
A picnic would be good!! Well, the weather might be - oh! You know the Battle Dome? You can program in sims there, so you can, I dunno, program in a really, really nice day and have it there, maybe?
And be sure to take cake because you're supposed to have cake on a birthday!!
video;
But computers are not his forte. So he's just going to let all that fancy talk about 'sims' and 'programming' fly over his head until later.]
She likes cinnamon rolls... and apple tarts.
[She never said anything about liking cake before. Oh god.]
video;
Cinnamon rolls and apple tarts, then! You can get both those things at the bakery. Oh, and you should give her a present! Something you made yourself works because I know there's not a looooooot you can give people here. Well, I guess there's always things from the blacksmith since lots of people like weapons here?
video;
She has enough knives, trust me.
video;
Oh, really? What's she like?
video;
Her name is Clove...she's clever and small and -- [Really, Cato, really?]
great.
[He has it so bad oh my god.]
video;
video;
[Oh god she's so excited, why?
Cato understands not the fangirl.]
video;
[ She likes Clover! She was nice. ]
