[ fourteen ] voice; february 14th; (failed) private to Tifa

[mangekyou]

[ although mostly blind, by now Itachi has spent enough time with the communicator to work it okay. most of them time anyway. squinting at it, he hits what he thinks will set it to private.

except when you're blind the public button looks very similar. ]

Tifa-san. I am not sure I entirely grasp how this holiday works, although it seems to have something to do with chocolate and dinner. [ it's not something he would usually care about, but after everything that's happened... ] Would you like to do that?

Are you? I am not sure where you got that impression from.

No, I'm her best friend. You're asking a girl to dinner on a romantic holiday?

[voice]

[mangekyou]

I do not see what that has to do with anything.

I had no idea there was someone more dense than me.

Cloud, knock it off.

[de_faulty_hero]

You really going to tell me off for looking out for you?

[Video]

[heart_rhythm]

I'm not telling you off, I'm telling you to back off. You're not exactly coming across as helpful right now.

[de_faulty_hero]

Looking out for you doesn't necessarily mean 'helpful'. I want to protect you.

Cloud. [More gently.] I'm just being asked to go to dinner.

How do I know this won't turn into a Corneo incident?

[heart_rhythm]

...Are you actually comparing Itachi to Don Corneo?

[Text]

[de_faulty_hero]

I don't know him at all. This is the first them I've ever spoken to him. What do you expect me to do when he appears to be suddenly asking you out?

[She switches to filtered now to be safe, and text in return in case she happens to be too embarrassed.]

He's a friend of mine, okay? He's a nice guy, you don't have to worry.

[Text]

[de_faulty_hero]

I'll decide if he's good enough for you.

[heart_rhythm]

[This is getting more and more all sorts of awkward.]

I can decide for myself... and stop overreacting! It's just dinner.

[Text-Filtered]

[de_faulty_hero]

For now.

[heart_rhythm]

Don't you trust me to make my own decisions?

[Text-Filtered]

[de_faulty_hero]

I could ask you the same thing.

Do as you like. Just don't get hurt.

[Text-Filtered]

[heart_rhythm]

[Ouch.]

...Fine. I'll have a very nice time, I'm sure.

[mangekyou]

I am taking her out because it is a holiday, and because she could use it. I do not see your point otherwise.

[Text]

[de_faulty_hero]

Of course she could use it. Tifa deserves everything, hence why I'm here. I just want to make sure you keep your hands in your own pockets, that's all.

[voice]

[mangekyou]

I will look after her.

[de_faulty_hero]

You better.

[ he almost keeps going, before deciding he's not interested in talking to Cloud anymore. he cuts off the feed on his end with a click. ]
