Welcome to week two, Teens Who Are Definitely Searching for Love!

Hopefully everyone got a lot of rest over the weekend, and are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the upcoming week, because there are a few things of interest this week.

But first, some changes of note in the house!

First: there is a giant rectangular box on the living room table, addressed to Lessing. It is a care package. The only thing in it is his sword.

There is some Bauernbrot bread on the counter. Ask Lessing about that too.

There is now a hot tub near the pool. It’s large enough to seat about six teens comfortably, but you can get more in there if you really try for some reason.

Okay I think that’s everything. Additionally, Tsukasa is here early this week! He’s looking pretty perky, seemingly recovered from the Match Ceremony, and he’s got some interesting info to share with everyone.

[Imagine having secrets. Couldn't be him.

It says a lot about Lessing that the tasks have narrowed down like this. Sanji isn't particularly interested in hearing a man's opinion, but for Lessing on this occasion he'll make an exception.]

Sure. How is it?

[counton]

[ It's not that he really thinks Sanji does, but it seems an easy one to mark off, and Sanji seems willing to humor him.

He will have to stop and consider for a moment. They haven't had a ton of time to speak to each other, but the first impression wasn't bad though, so... ]

You seem pretty thoughtful when you're being serious about things, and fairly tuned in to the feelings and emotions of the people around you.

[ And................?

Oh, no, he's done. Not exciting, but it is honest enough to net him three points. ]

[hgeegh]

[All things considered, that's a very flattering feeling on Lessing's end. Sanji waits for a few beats, perhaps anticipating the drop of the other shoe—only for nothing else to follow. Color him surprised.]

. . . Thanks. You're a pretty thoughtful guy, yourself.

[counton]

[ Sanji's made a pretty good impression on him so far.

It helps that he hasn't offered Lessing up in sacrifice to save the life of one of the girls. ]

Maybe. I wouldn't say it all comes naturally to me though.

[hgeegh]

[All in due time, Lessing.]

That doesn't make it any less real. What matters is that you try.

[counton]

[ He does do that... That's the one thing he knows he can take pride in. So he'll lower his head a little, considering that for a second. ]

Yeah. Thank you. For the comment, and the help.

[ Holding up the list again. ]

[hgeegh]

[Did it land? He doesn't look displeased. Sanji nods.]

Anytime. You can find me if you need more points later.

[counton]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ For now he'll just... he'll put this pillow back where he found this, and his misunderstanding of the term "lap pillow" can stay a secret between him and Sanji. ]
