( For the most part, Frisk has remained quiet on the network. Not for any huge reason in particular. They've always been better at listening, rather than speaking. Perhaps that's why they've chosen to use text at this moment.

Well, whatever their reason may be -- they have something to say now. Flirting's been a way that they've been able to successfully enter the friend zone in the past...! )

Is everyone's parents a baker? Because everyone here is a cutie-pie!

( ... Someone's been eating the chocolates that were handed out. But either way, Frisk's someone who's at a point where they wish well onto others, which is why they don't let it end there: )

Uhm... I know that things can be bad here sometimes, but I hope everyone's Valentine's Day is good and that everyone has someone special to be with.

Just when I thought we'd escaped the skeletons and their puns, you bring them to the shores of trench. How could you.

( Blame their influence on Frisk. )

But, we didn't have too many bones to pick with them.

Chara, we must be socks, because we make a good pair!

[Nil has just had her moment with the chocolates, and is not feeling especially festive. But the sight of pun was enough to get her attention. It's the second comment that gets her to smile.]

[Her text returns in handwritten lettering.]

Thank you. I needed that.

[Frisk is lucky that Dito's currently under the influence of white chocolate, though who knows? He might have been tickled by that pun regardless.]

that was pretty good, kid. I'll have to remember that one.

I'm glad it helped. Sometimes we forget special days while we're here.

( They needed it during Christmas after they had gone through quite a bit. They know how it feels to be in her shoes. )

( Hey, they'd flirt even without being under the influence of chocolates. For the most part, it's all in good fun. ... When they aren't using it to fight for their life. Home was kind of weird. )

Thanks... I'm really good at flirting. It's helped me get into the friend zone a lot of home.

[nilheality]

The name is unfamiliar. What is Valentine's Day?

[Though she didn't need to know to understand what their kindness.]

[stilljustyou]

( They aren't surprised to see that question written out to them. Everyone's from so many different places here. )

It's a day where you can give gifts to people who are important to you. Like chocolates or flowers.

[nilheality]

Couldn't that be any day? Or one's nameday?

[stilljustyou]

Yeah.

But, somedays are really special for doing that. Like Christmas.

[nilheality]

Another day for gifts?

[stilljustyou]

That's part of what makes holidays special.

Sometimes, you have someone really important that you want to give a present for for Valentine's Day. It can them really happy.

[nilheality]

Do you have anyone like that?

Or did you just made everyone your special someone today?

[stilljustyou]

Everyone here is special! I got a knack for finding the perfect Valentine, and that's everyone in the Waking World!

( But... jokes aside they can't help but think of Toriel, who's pretty much taken Frisk in as their own child now. )

If I was home I'd want to give something special to my Mom, but... it'd be really nice if I could make my partner happy, too.

Do you have someone like that?

[nilheality]

[That was so nice of them. She was glad that they had found somebody.]

[Her face falls a little when she sees those words. Oh yes, once upon a time she did. She was certain that they were going to live out the rest of their days together. And yet...]

[Well, there was no reason to drudge up that, here.]

Not yet. Perhaps someday.

[stilljustyou]

( Frisk's friendship with Chara has always been complicated, but that doesn't make them any less important to them.

There's a brief pause when she responds again before Frisk writes back. )

If you want, we could be friends.

( They can offer to build something like that right now, at least. )

[nilheality]

[Freaking hell, what is with these kids being adorable and accepting...??]

Just like that?

[stilljustyou]

( It's okay if she doesn't want to. )

Yeah.

It can be hard here alone.

[nilheality]

You may not feel the same way.

Should you see me.

[stilljustyou]

How come?

[nilheality]

I am a monster.

[stilljustyou]

That doesn't make you bad.

Monsters can be really nice.

My Mom is a monster.

[nilheality]

[No Frisk, you don't understand. She's a danger!! She--]

Really?

[stilljustyou]

( The next response comes after a while then, and Frisk switches to video. What Nil will see is a rather young looking child offering a small, subtle smile as they hold up a rather childish drawing of Toriel. )

Uh-huh. She looks like this.

She saved me when I needed help.

[nilheality]

I see.

[This child... they seemed so innocent. And it wasn't fair for them to be the only one that divulge a part of themselves.]

[The text feed closes. The video feed opens and there is a silhouette in the distance. Yet despite the distance, a slight sheen of moisture can be gleaned from the reflection on the figure's skin.]

[She takes a few tentative steps, and what Frisk sees is something not quite human. Though, unlike the image, she is fully clothed with a pair of tentacles extending from the shoulders, with a pair of two red eyes (and a hidden third behind the bang) peeking out at them.]

[She doesn't say a word, simply just... gauges their reaction.]
