Ta—

Ah, I mean. Ryoko? Hi! [ That's going to take some getting used to. ] It's Subaru. I have, um... well, it's kind of a unique dilemma that I'm hoping to get some help with. [ That sounded way too formal. ] It's something personal and I can't think of who else I can ask right now.

[heptathlete]

Yeah? What sort of thing? [She suspects nothing]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

It's... it has to do with this month. It was my birthday, so. [ Subaru didn't announce it, but she and her sister probably had a little gathering with close friends. That also means something ELSE though, given where they are. ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah, I know, I was there. [Give her a second]

....oooooohhhh. So you got one of those?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Uh-huh. [ And this is why this isn't a video call, like her usual. ] It's asking me for something I haven't tried before. I've been thinking about who to ask to help me for a while now...

[heptathlete]

Well... as long as it's nothing too weird, I'd be happy to lend a hand? Literally, I guess.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Oh, no! It's not that weird. It's just...

[ Subaru is really bad at lying, and that's no secret, but the requirements... ]

It has to do with senses. Like, if I understand it right, a blindfold should be enough. Would that be okay by you?

[heptathlete]

Oh, man, I love that sort of thing!

[RYOKO... RYOKO, PLS... DON'T JUST BLURT OUT THAT YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE...]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Y-You do? [ That is pure surprise. Subaru wouldn't judge! ] I guess that makes me lucky that I came to you first, huh.

[heptathlete]

Er, well, I mean, I've done things with blindfolds before and it was... really hot.

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Does that mean ... can I ask you to, um, help me out with that? For the card, I mean.

[heptathlete]

Heh, sure. So... are you going to be blindfolded or am I?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I'm not really sure what would count, so... maybe we could take turns? Eheh, you could show me how it's done! [ This is the smoothest plan. ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah? Sure! Guess it's a big deal for you, since it helps you get some of your normal powers and stuff back, huh?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

I guess I have more incentive than most do, huh.

[heptathlete]

So, uh... when'd you wanna do it?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Are you free tomorrow? [ This gives her a day to prepare the second part of her extremely desperate plan. ]

[heptathlete]

Sure, that works. Late afternoon or evening?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Will you stay over afterwards? I could make some dinner. [ That's like the reverse of a date, Subaru. ]

[heptathlete]

Works for me!

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Evening it is! Call me before you come over and I'll make sure I'm prepared. [ You know, because of how new this is and totally not preparing for other reasons... ]

[heptathlete]

Yeah, sure! I know these things can take a bit of prep.

[Totally thinking of how much work Kaoru put into their "breathers"]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Thanks, Ryoko. For doing this, I mean. [ She will have to apologize for the deception later. ]

[heptathlete]

Hey, come on. What are friends for? [Well, friends with.. benefits?]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Ahah, I wouldn't normally say this but, seeing where we are... [ It's still not "normal" but maybe it's more "typical"? ]

[heptathlete]

Eheh, well... y'know. Yeah.

[So elegantly said.]

[of_the_highest_caliber]

[ They are the smoothest. ] So... we'll see each other tomorrow, right?

[heptathlete]

Yeah! Uh, your place?

[of_the_highest_caliber]

Mmn! It's more private that way. [ The absolute last thing they need is to have Ginga waltzing in on them in the middle of this. ]

[heptathlete]

Alright, I'll see you over there then!
