[So, here's a familiar Aphrodite kid sitting outside his cabin...]

Hey, so... I know there's a lot on our minds and all... And I don't want to make it worse or anything? But the biggest way I know how to help is by distraction?

So... while we're all freaking out over the followers of Lyacon and everything, I want to offer one less thing for you to freak out over. If you need help wooing someone for Valentine's Day, I'm offering my help with that... Flower delivery and I'll even read your love letters to them.

[And, he promises NOT to flirt with your crush! Look at how sweet a deal you're getting!]

[Jehan laughs a little]

Courf, we've two weeks until Valentine's!

IM

[dandylicious]

You don't realize how soon that is! Gotta start business early.

IM

[shylyintrepid]

Are you going to ask for payment?

[lefthandedgenius]

Good job getting it in early, Cour! I think it's also an excellent morale booster.

[Definite thumbs up from Lyds!]

[dandylicious]

Thanks Lyds! I thought it could be too... And we all know I'd be right out useless in the whole fighting against werewolves business. So.

[weneedasign]

[He has no words. Seriously Courf? Worst timing.]

[dandylicious]

[8D Best timing. Just ask his sister up there!]

[unstinting]

You can't be serious, Reynaud... aren't there more important things to worry about?

[lefthandedgenius]

There is nothing wrong with Courfeyrac trying to keep morale high.

[dandylicious]

[He does have the decency to appear a little ashamed.]

There are... But we all know I'm useless with that.

[ensared]

Werewolves right outside our door, and you're worried about love letters?

[ Children of Venus, he swears. ]

[lefthandedgenius]

Leave him alone. He's scared and he's not confident about his fighting skills and he's trying to think of some way to help. Offering a morale boost isn't a bad thing.

[dandylicious]

Wouldn't say I'm worried about them. Other people might be, though.

[angeliaforos]

Dude.

[Gabriel is just going to give Courfeyrac this complete look of disbelief right now.]

[dandylicious]

Whatever, you don't have to say anything.

[He knows. Please don't say it again.]

not here

[eye_of_isis]

[Sadie's seen the reactions. She knows how that feels.

So after dinner Courfeyrac will find a charm for luck on his pillow]

also not here

[dandylicious]

[He really appreciates it too. A lot.]

[deathdiduspart]

[Seriously, Nico was going to ignore this IM like all the other IM's that so much as mention Valentine's Day, but...he feels bad. The guy's trying to get people to look forward to something after the inevitable attack on camp, and there's something of a backlash. He has to respect the attempt, at the very least.

He sighs, rubs his face, and then goes off to find Courfeyrac. When the son of Hades does, he hesitates before approaching.]

Um...what kinds of flowers would be good to give family?

[He's trying! And totally not going to give anything to his crushes because no. Just no.]

[Action]

[dandylicious]

[Courfeyrac, at this point, has sobered up quite a bit and isn't nearly as smiley as he had been. He glances up when he hears someone start speaking to him, anxious that it might be someone coming to tell him off in person.

But it's the exact opposite of that.]

Chrysanthemums... Yellow roses. Irises. I'm not as into flower language as Jehan is, but I've got a few reference books...

IM

[somatophylax]

[He's not going to comment on his feelings about timing because, honestly, Hephaistion's not a holiday person and is usually more preoccupied with preparing from some inevitable attack. The fact that this time there are wolves at the door doesn't need to be pointed out yet again, so he'll accept Courfeyrac's IM for the spirit in which it is given]

Courfeyrac, I may perhaps require your expert opinion on flower selection, although I would prefer to deliver it myself. If you could spare a moment.

IM

[dandylicious]

[He's quietly very thankful for that. Doing his best to smile genuinely, as though none of what's happened earlier has bothered him, he nods his head.]

I can definitely help out with that. Maybe when it's calmed down a bit?

[He means this whole uprising against him, because he's not sure the wolves will be fixed anytime soon.]

[impetueux]

[People can freak out all they like, but Cosette likes the idea of a little distraction in the face of imminent danger. She just has one minor problem.]

But what about the poor singletons with no direction? I'm starting to think I'm better off being a nun like Papa wanted.

[Okay, so that's a boldface lie, proven by the fact that she's already on the verge of laughing, but whatever.]

[dandylicious]

[Thank you, Cosette. It's why you're one of his favorites, really.]

You're too pretty to be a nun, Cosette. I would weep if you went that route. But I think we can offer matching services if you want... Or you could get some extra attention from myself.

What about candy? I always thought that went along with the whole flowers and love poetry thing.

IM

[dandylicious]

See, I was just gonna charm the Demeter kids into growing some flowers for the whole thing... But candy is a definite must if I can get my hands on some.
