[ Last "Halloween", it was treats, this "Valentine's Day", it's flowers. Specifically, roses. France is beaming as he aims the bracelet's camera at baskets among baskets of red roses in full bloom. ]

Mes amis, perhaps you would like a rose or two, or three, to give to people you love this Valentine's Day, oui?

Or maybe even a full bouquet?

The rose is one of France's very favorite flowers, I assure you, so everyone will be bound to love them as much as I do!

And you surely would love a magnificent Valentine's Day, oui?

[5thchild]

Can you tell me more about Valentine's day?

[Video]

[magnifique]

It is one of the best holidays, focused on love, mon ami!

Lots of confessions are made on this day, oui?

And then sometimes dates on that day lead to more....


Sometimes romantic things can happen even if you didn't have a date!

[ He would know, by now he's experienced too many valentine's days to count them all. Including his experiences. ]

[Video]

[5thchild]

So it's about romance. I see. [ it doesn't particularly interest him ]

[Video]

[magnifique]

[ he's quickly picking up on that -- ]

You don't seem very interested....


You've never had any sort of romantic feelings?

[Video]

[5thchild]

I don't think I'm capable of feeling them.

[video]

[suppressthedark]

[Francis what ru doin]

Where'd you get those?

[Ichigo plz there are florists in the city]

[video]

[magnifique]

From the florists!

[ but wait -- ]

Where did you think they came from?

[ eyebrow waggles just to mess with him ]

[video] sorry about the wait-rl was a bitch

[suppressthedark]

I dunno.

[NOT SAYING it was dumb ok]

[video] no worries!

[magnifique]

You don't know?

[ grinning grinning -- ]

Then why bring it up, then, onhonhon?

[Video]

[adventuretime]

What is exactly Valentine's Day? Why do you give people flowers on it?

[Video]

[magnifique]

[ ohh, a new face! -- an... interesting face.... is it a costume... ]

Err -- it is a holiday celebrating love that takes place on the 14th of February, ma chère! Well, it is celebrated in many countries of Earth, oui? Especially my own!

People often give flowers, like these roses here, as gifts, or more particularly as confessions of love!

A red rose given to the one you admire is basically seen as a full out romantic confession!

[ grinning now -- ]

So, are you interested in one...?

[Video]

[adventuretime]

[Too bad it's very much real.]

Oh! It's an Earth Holiday. I should have guessed that already.

[But she seems to like the concept. You'd never really get a love related Holiday back on Alternia. But that would be hard considering their quadrants.]

Wouldn't that mean you're confessing your love to me though? We've just started talking, silly!

[Video]

[magnifique]

I meant -- were you interested in buying one for someone you love, ma chère, oui? --

[ she kind of got him there... ]

You are not from Earth, then...?

[ he only asks that curiously; he's intrigued! ]

[video]

[the_good_doctor]

Celebrating Valentine's Day, France? How do you suppose to get around the lack of any February 14th in Asgard, old chap? Designating a new day in its stead?

[video]

[magnifique]

[ oh, you must be British. ]

Is it not somewhat around that time of year regardless?

[ he's at least accepted that he's probably lost track of the "date" overall ]

Just because we were brought here, it doesn't mean we forget the holidays from our worlds!

[video]

[the_good_doctor]

We do seem to be on the tail-end of the winter season, I agree.

I'm not suggesting we do forget them, old boy. I'm certainly not adverse to raising a glass in memory of loved ones, present or far away.

[video]

[magnifique]

[ ...okay, he can admire that response. It matches his own view, of course. ]

...So in that case, you agree with the idea, non?

You can always buy a rose if so, you know...!

[ pauses -- ]

Even if you're not French!

[video] backdated

[sleeveless]

[ He cocks his head slightly to the side. ]

Valentine's day. This is some celebration where you are from?

[video]

[magnifique]

Oui, monsieur!

[ he'll regard you a bit curiously, too ]

It's a day that celebrates love in many countries on Earth!

It doesn't have to be romantic love, but that is a major focus.

[video]

[sleeveless]

[ He has no lady of his own, but... Hesitating, only slightly: ]

And it is customary to give out roses to those whom you care a great deal about? Even if they are... Other men?

[video]

[magnifique]

[ grinning widely, now -- ]

But of course! Roses are a very popular flower to give on such a day.

[ it's the truth, he's not exactly lying...! ]

You might have to be careful -- some countries have their own unique "flower languages", after all, and red roses can certainly signify a romantic love -- but if you make your intentions clear, you should be fine!

Personally, I am of the opinion that anyone can appreciate red roses! Most who receive them do tend to recognize they hold some sort of significant meaning, after all.

[vidya]

[holyfight]

[Hey, this could be the perfect solution to her dilemma!]

I-Is it Valentine's Day already?!

Do you... Do you think a rose would work?

[video]

[magnifique]

It at least appears to be close, non?


And, Miss Orihime -- it depends on what use you want to make of that rose!

If you are using it to confess your feelings of love, of course it should help in expressing them, oui? It is a symbol of romantic love in many countries, after all!

[holyfight]

Well, yes, but...

I would want to make chocolate... But I didn't realize it was so soon!

[magnifique]

[ Oh, if Orihime cooked -- ]

...Well, roses are surely one of the best means to confess your love along with chocolates, non?

[ winking, now -- ]

And who is the lucky one receiving your confession, ma chère?
