[There is a long, long moment of Miyako awkward.

She's sitting at the desk in an inn, with three packages and an egg on the wooden surface in front of the gear. And, judging by the uncertain face she's making, she's quite uncomfortable with this.]

So... A few of my friends left this city, and it reminded me that I... have these...

They're from Valentine's day, and, um...

[Gosh, so awkward.]

I talked to a person on the gear the other day. He told a riddle about a man named Mr. Holmes. I... don't really know who it was but, um... I... got you something?

And, um... Ken-ku--Ichijouji-kun...

[She looks away, cheeks burning red.] I... got something for you too.

And this egg! [LA LA SUBJECT CHANGE. With that, she reaches past the three gifts and lifts up a bright red, blue, and white egg.] I'm... Is it mine? It is, right? It's... well, I don't know what it is, but it'll be neat to see when it hatches! It hops sometimes!

...is that natural?

[ How sweet! Ken-kun's friend. ]

You are a friend of young Ken's? That is sweet ... I am sure he will like that very much.

[She blushes and nods.] I hope so! I... don't remember getting it for him, though...

You don't? I don't understand ... Then did you buy it for someone else?

[She shakes her head and holds up the little present. Sure enough, the sign is in her handwriting, reading For Ken-chan~♥]

It's for him. I just... don't remember getting it.

[ Giggling. ]

How very odd indeed ... but still ... Ken will be very happy to receive this.

I hope so... B-but I wouldn't blame him if he didn't like it. I'm pretty bad with gift-giving.

He will love it. I am sure. Ken is not the type to not know how to appreciate the thought and effort a friend gives into a gift.

And you seem very sweet.

[She smiles.] He is, isn't he? But I think next time I'll try to give him something better.

Eh? Me? [LOL.] My sisters could probably argue you on that one.

[the_whitequeen]

Maybe. But I make my own impressions ...

Have a wonderful Valentines --- oh! May I know your name?

[digital_bingo]

[She laughs. Miyako likes you already!]

Oh! I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself earlier. I'm Miyako Inoue! And what shall I call you?

[the_whitequeen]

Lacus Clyne, but you can call me Lacus, Miyako. It is really nice to meet you!

video;

[digital_bingo]

Nice to meet you too, Lacus! [Sparkly big sister-style idol worshipping is GO!]

[the_whitequeen]

Well, I shouldn't keep you occupied for too long. I am sure you would like to give your present to Ken now ...

He will be very happy. I am sure.

[digital_bingo]

W-well, we're not quite in the same city yet... So I can't give it to him now, but I am when we all meet up!

Y-you really think he'll like it? [Awkward nervous laughter.] I really wouldn't blame him if he didn't! Like I said, I'm really bad at giving gifts, and especially if I don't remember what's in it. It's probably pretty awful.

video;

[the_whitequeen]

I doubt it is awful.

He definitely will. I am sure of it, please don't worry ...

[digital_bingo]

I-- I'll try not to!

[Covering her face now.]

[the_whitequeen]

You really are quite cute, Miyako.

video;

[digital_bingo]

W-wha?! I'm not!

video;

[the_whitequeen]

You are ... I wouldn't say it if I didn't believe it.

[digital_bingo]

[Blushing hard now.]

You're going to embarrass meeeee, Lacus!

video;

[the_whitequeen]

[ Teasing. ] You're cute when you're embarrassed too.

[digital_bingo]

Laaaacuss!

[Hiding her face forever.]
