[The video turns on with Lucy smiling and then giving the camera a wave.]

I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

Also, all the Valentine's Day chocolate should be marked down, perfect time to get a lot of chocolate and candy.

[The video feed ends there, but she is a clever girl and thought this would be a better way to address those she left a valentine's day card and various candies for.]

For Emma

For Victor

For Nico

For Jefferson

For Older Loki

For Stan

For Younger Loki

For Laura

[And for Ivar for when he comes back.]

[ reading his v-day card, he grins. ]

Thanks, Lucy. Normally I don't celebrate this holiday, but this is a great card.

[thestoriesarereal]

[She looks downfor a moment, trying not to gush or get over excited or anything. Just...a demigod liked her card. It wasn’t too kiddy or anything. Oh forget it, she’s frinning until her cheeks hurt.]

You’re welcome. I thought it was better in design than some of the other ones I saw. Did you like your candy too?

[deathkid]

[ how cute. she really does remind him of a younger version of himself. ]

I loved the candy. Can't say no to free sweets.

[thestoriesarereal]

Well you could, but you didn’t so... [ Rambling...]

Did you at least enjoy the day doing....teenager things?

[deathkid]

[ laughs a little at that. ]

Well, I spent the day mostly to myself. Mostly. I'm not sure what "teenager things" are because I'm a lot older, but... [ shrugs. ]

Thank you for the card, Lucy. I think that's the first one I've ever gotten.

[thestoriesarereal]

Really? I’m glad it could be your first! I hope it wasn’t too corny or anything.

You have tried chocolate though....right?

[jolting]

Not at all. It was clever.

Of course. Gerhardt and I used to drink it when we were children.

[thestoriesarereal]

Okay good. I didn’t want it to be too...silly or anything.

Good! If you want more, now’s probably the best time to grab it. I saw all the sales signs.

[jolting]

Some silliness now and again is perfectly fine.

Thank you for the tip.

[ ???? ]

Valentine's Day?

[thestoriesarereal]

Yeah! It’s typically a day to show you like someone, and...it’s an excuse to give out candy. Like Halloween but instead of spooky things it’s with hearts and flowers and love.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

So it is a festival for lovers?

[thestoriesarereal]

Sort of...I mean some places do a festival or a dance or something for Valentine’s Day
But, it is for for people who are in love or to show you like them—as a friend.

If you didn’t like the card, I hope you liked the candy.....

[dothelokimotion]

[ He smooths his expression over. ]

The card is lovely. I have always been fond of wordplay.

[ Oh no, she's so sweet. And she reminds him so much of Grace, it hurts his heart.

But it's not all bad. Kind of nice, actually. He'd rather know Lucy than not. So he smiles, holding up the Valentine she got him. ]

I'm glad we're friends, too.

[thestoriesarereal]

Really? Even with....you know...

[Regina being her grandmother and all.]

Did you enjoy your candy though?

[royalpassport]

[ He lifts his brows, confused as to what she's getting at, until... ah. Yes. The Regina connection. ]

I wouldn't hold that against you. Just like I didn't hold it against your father.

[ Who he kind of almost killed once, indirectly... MAN. Better not tell Lucy that part, ever.

Anyway! Have a winning smile. ]

Who doesn't enjoy a good chocolate?

[thestoriesarereal]

...okay.

[A simple answer that still holds uncertainty from her end. She doesn't know much about Jefferson, and it's hard to tell if she should trust him. Victor does...so that should be enough for her to trust Jefferson on some level..

The winning smile does distract her a little. There's a softer smile from her, still trying to navigate things with him.]

People who don't enjoy chocolate--but they're not really worth mentioning.

[Clever little girl, isn't she?]

[royalpassport]

[ Jefferson lets out a snort, but he's smiling a bit, all the same. ]

Okay, so I walked into that one.

[11calls]

That is seriously so sweet! Also half off valentine's candy is the best sort!

[thestoriesarereal]

Thanks! I tried to find a Valentine that would work well for each person.

Yes! That's why it's best to stock up on the stuff.

[11calls]

Of course! I bet you did amazingly!

[thestoriesarereal]

You think so?

[11calls]

Yeah, of course!
