[It seems the guy just can't get a break these days. He found that the various flowers all over town seemed somehow out of place, but he could only shake his head and continue on his daily routine. As he headed home that evening and stepped inside the kitchen he happened upon a vase of irises. Now if he had been paying attention he'd notice that a few of the other townsfolk were acting a bit strange.

That wasn't his problem. However in this case, yes, it was now a problem. He made his way over to the bouquet and curiously looked at who the flowers were addressed to. Upon realizing they were for him, he couldn't help himself but took a small sniff of those irises and... Man that felt weird. After a good half hour of trying to clear his head, it was off to the phone.]

[Phone//Filters, what filters?]

Virginia? I hope you're hearing this. I thought it might be a good idea fer th' two of us t' sit 'nd talk 'bout a few things. Guess when I figured I ... "woke up" no one here would really remember who I was. So well, when ya came 'round and asked why I was gone fer so long I guess uh...

That is t' say I... That if everyone from before remembered me but you I'd be hurt cause I like ya. 'Nd I don't mean 'like' like ya, I mean really like ya.

[He can't really get himself to say the word at first.]

Y'know, as in I love ya. ... 'nd I don't say that t' jes anyone. ...So, I figured that if one loves a person well enough, they should shout it out and share with th' world.

[With that out of the way, he simply hangs up the phone and lurks.]

Um... Hold on a sec. -Virginia sets her phone down. Never had it been a more inconvenient time to be slightly immobile. Because in that moment? She felt like running into a wall.-

-... Well she could squeal. That worked. Not necessarily a squeal of delight. Or of disgust. Or anything really. She was completely uncertain of how to feel. Well, feel anything but anxious. And so squealing into the pillow worked.-

-No, but seriously, what the hell? How was she supposed to deal with this? Aside from running around in circles and screaming. Because that kind of wasn't an option.-

-... In fact, now that she thought about it, this was a first for her. Jet and Itachi both had always been too... too... well too THEM to come out and say anything to her about their feelings, obvious as they were. And yet Hol, who up and said it? She hadn't expected a thing.-

-Whelp. There is one option. The phone is picked back up.-

Um... Are you sure?

Of course. Why would I go on and lie 'bout a thing like that?

Hol Horse, I swear on my Mama's grave that if you are joking with me I'll never forgive you.

Then we should both be glad in knowin' that I could never lie t'you.

... And you never have before...

L-look, Hol, I... I need some time to digest this. You understand, I hope...

Of course I understand. I want ya t' know that... no matter the decision ya make, it doesn't change th' fact yer someone important t' me.

... Same to you, Hol. That won't change.

[A CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED.

What the hell? First Balin, now some other guy?! He doesn't even know who this one is. How can that be? Doesn't he know everyone in her life? He doesn't? Well, apparently not, because he hadn't actually cared before today.

So, in what can only be a terrible idea, he grabs the other phone in the house and...]

She's not interested. Get lost.

[He could only chuckle.]

Well I think th' decision would be hers, not... whoever y' are.

It's a decision she already has made. You're out of luck.

If that's the case, she'll tell me herself, won't she?

I don't see why she would ever even want to talk to you at all, so just give up already.

I think yer tryin' too hard.

[He really is...]

I... no I'm not! I don't even need to try hard to tell off a useless person like you.

[Another small chuckle.]

That so? If it is in fact true that our lady has no interest in me, then wouldn't it be the right thing to do to let her admit to herself? Hardly fair fer someone t' speak fer her.

[Not amused by all this chuckling going on here.]

Because she shouldn't have to waste her time humoring you. I don't know who you are, but Virginia's with me now. [nope, he's delusional.] And I don't appreciate someone else making such forward advances.

Hm. Jes what're ya gonna do 'bout it? Punch me over the phone?

Um. Well. No! But if I have to defend her honor, I will!

[There is some small part of his usual rational self throwing a fit right now, somewhere, somewhere.]

How fancy. I still think it'd be more polite if the lady has her own say. Not allowing her t'speak her own mind seems a little... selfish on yer part.

[Huff.]

You're only saying that because you're worried. You know when you're outclassed.

Worried? Worried?

Now why on Earth would I be worried? If she doesn't feel the same way, there's no harm in that.

Because it'll make you look like a great fool when she tells you that she doesn't.

What matters t' me is I was able t' tell her. If I should look like a fool when it's all said 'nd done, then so be it.

Well. Good then. [Yeah. That's telling him, Caesar.] You just... keep that in mind.
