[BOTH OF U SAID YES SO assume Lavi asked them both to follow him somewhere... he would not have elaborated on the WHY btw before leading them to the Ebonbriar Academy library, all the way to the back, in a nice private alcove decorated with flowers and alchemical string lights. there is a bottle of champagne on a table and two glasses, and also a cake!
He'll gesture grandly towards two chairs and look expectantly at them]
[ looking back at daan like, `oh most definitely.` ]
Very generous indeed, though a bit of an odd time to be swept up in the majesty of romance. I suppose I can't fault you, I've been known to get carried away at times.
[ look he's not gonna turn down a freaking catered lunch here. ]
[ what a fucking question to ask these two guys in particular. ]
Well, I've been single since my relationship with my goddess came to its ignominous conclusion over a year ago now. But don't worry she's not still in the picture, the last communication I had with her was a missive telling me to kill myself.
[ the way this got turned around on lavi so bad. sipping his champagne.]
Goodness, really? That is a shock to me, actually. A handsome young man like you? Daan is right, perhaps we should go find someone for you, Lavi. You are the expert on love after all. Who is it around here that has your eye?

What...?
no subject
[ gale is making a question mark above his head face but he's not immediately objecting to this? it is nice :) very cute :) also there is cake! ]
Oh yes, quite nice!
[ what is happening. ]
no subject
What's the occasion?
[ Looking at Lavi like ? Are you even joining us. There's only two champagne flutes...? ]
no subject
Nothing serious -- I just wanted to do something nice for you two!
[picks up a bottle of champagne, somehow morphs into the role of waiter]
I've got a non-alcoholic version too! Just lemme know what you guys would like.
no subject
[ Well. ]
I don't know where you got champagne, but I won't turn it down.
no subject
What time is it? I think I need the alcohol actually.
[ is it first thing in the morning. oh well it's 5 o'clock somewhere. ]
Are you feeling quite alright, Lavi ... ?
no subject
I requested it last week! I was gonna use it for a party, but I felt really inspired to use it today, y'know?
[NO.....]
It's like I'm a Cupid in training. Here to help strengthen the bonds of romance -- or friendship!
no subject
[ Looks at Gale with the distinct look of 'oh, he's cursed, isn't he?'
And yet he still just holds his glass up to receive a champagne pour. Lovely. ]
How nice of you to dip into your stock this way.

no subject
Hehe, you're gonna make me blush...
[kyaah to be praised.... so embarrassing...]
When's the last time you guys got carried away?
no subject
I did get married...
[ Gale already knew that so he just looks at Lavi like is this going to deter him at ALL? ]
no subject
Well, I've been single since my relationship with my goddess came to its ignominous conclusion over a year ago now. But don't worry she's not still in the picture, the last communication I had with her was a missive telling me to kill myself.
no subject
Lavi shakily cuts a slice of cake for them both]
...Well, you guys don't have to rush into anything! [DAAN IS MARRIED] Just spending time with a friend is enough. Sometimes, that's all you need!
no subject
And you, Lavi? With your natural affinity, one must think you see a lot of success on the market, yes?
no subject
"Rush into anything"? So the entire purpose of this is to arrange a meet-cute specifically between myself and Gale?
no subject
Yeah! I mean -- yeah to the meet-cute... friend-cute! I've had a lot of friend-cutes too. That's the only kind of dates I've been on actually...
[sorry he also has no success on the market]
no subject
Maybe we should have saved the champagne and cake for you and someone...?
no subject
Goodness, really? That is a shock to me, actually. A handsome young man like you? Daan is right, perhaps we should go find someone for you, Lavi. You are the expert on love after all. Who is it around here that has your eye?
no subject
Wait, I'm supposed to be the Cupid.........
no subject
So?
[ Looks at him. ]
no subject
He is always fairly close to Kanda-- Oh, and dancing around with those two who are always attached at the hip. Geto and Gojo.
no subject
-- Wait, hold on. Those two are like annoying younger siblings? And Kanda's even worse!
no subject
We've a number of young ladies too? As they say, opposites attract.
Miss Robin seems a bit busy with her goals, but I'm sure your support would be welcome...
no subject
[ also what is this "he ALSO has no success on the market"? both daan and gale were in long-term relationships, that's a lot of success actually. ]
Miss Nina has a penchant for books and learning as well, perhaps you'd have a solid spark of connection there ... ?
no subject
I knew you'd guys get along... At least my Cupid instincts were right about that.
