[ In the early evening on Valentine's Day, Sciel swings by the place that she knows Verso's staying in now, small bag in hand. She leaves the gift in front of the door with a note attached for easy identification:

Joyeuse Saint-Valentin, mon ami!
I'm sure you've been spending all your time on the train, but this way you can remember it fondly when they eventually do tell you you can't actually live there.
If you haven't seen one before, give it a shake!
~ Sciel

Inside the bagged, wrapped in quite a lot of paper, is a tiny snow globe with a model of the city's rail car inside. She'd almost definitely been price gouged by buying a souvenir, but once she'd seen it, it'd been impossible to ignore. ]

[coraza]

You've been going to the train station a lot
?

[recreatable]

Cloud,

[ BACKSPACE BACKSPACE BACKSPACE he's not getting made fun of today ]

Semi-frequently, yes. Why do you ask?

[coraza]

( every day is a new day to clown verso, don't worry about it. )

Just something I noticed

( he has taken a few jobs near the train station. also.. verso hasn't told cloud about why he's at the train station semi-frequently. hmph. )

[recreatable]

[ Mon dieu, Cloud is bad at conversation. ]

Did you have an opinion to share on it?

[coraza]

Not really

[recreatable]

[ ...

...

... ]

Did you want to go to the train station with me, Cloud?

[coraza]

I've been to it before

[recreatable]

Not with me.

I know all kinds of cool facts about trains.

1/2

[coraza]

You never mentioned that before

[coraza]

I could have shown you it

[recreatable]

[ Wow, a Cloud double-text...!!! ]

Sorry. Didn't think to mention it, I guess. Where I'm from, we don't have trains anymore.

[coraza]

You don't have a lot of things where you're from
You getting a job at the railroad then?

[recreatable]

Maybe. I'm not sure that sort of work is my thing.

[ That's a lot of physical labor... ]

I'm more interested in riding on it. Have you gone to the other strongholds yet?

[coraza]

( he's worried about your income!!! )

Went to Acreage last month
Took a job up in Kolliery last week

[recreatable]

Could be fun to go again, huh? Maybe go see some of the animals in Acreage.

[coraza]

They have some weird animals called horses there
I caught a massive fish at the lake

( heh. )

[recreatable]

Très impressionnant.

But I bet I could catch a bigger one.

[coraza]

( SIGH.... )

Doubt it
Have you found a place to stay?

( time to break the bad news to verso )

[recreatable]

I'm working on it.

[ Translation: no. ]

[coraza]

( damn that's too bad )

Lune or Sciel aren't looking for roommates?

[recreatable]

[ Damn, he knows Lune, too??? ]

They're staying together, actually.

[coraza]

Right

( don't ask him about rooming together again.... cloud doesn't have the heart to break it to him. )

[recreatable]

I thought maybe we could keep rooming together until we find other accommodations.

[coraza]

Won't be possible
