- Ah! Unless you meant - [ She may not always know what the hell is going on with Japan - though she knows her stuff, there is still a lot she gets wrong or which throws her - but giving chocolates is a pretty common trope in dramas. It's the one holiday that without fail shows up in every school drama, even if some others might be skipped or glossed over.

Well, shit. She'd asked Kuzuryuu for advice on the shape - or rather, if he thought cats would be okay - but she hadn't actually asked for advice on anything else, since they'd gotten completely derailed. They'd both agreed hearts would be Bad, and Kuzuryuu had said he was pretty sure Tanaka had never even gotten giri chocolates before.

Is it okay to say they're different or not? It's not like she's never dealt with boys romantically before, but it's a little different in this case. She almost asks if she can call a friend - this isn't a game show and she doesn't have a lifeline - but. That would be dumb. However, she's not even sure if she's allowed to hold Tanaka's hand, let alone give him honmei chocolates - ]

Shit! [ SHIT. She hadn't meant to say that out loud. Okay. ] This is my own miscalculation.

[ SHOULD HAVE ASKED KUZURYUU WHAT TO DO IF TANAKA ACTUALLY ASKED WHAT THEY WERE, why didn't she consider he would. Her tactics tutors would be so disappointed.

Still, there's nothing for it. ]

Of the chocolates I made with the others, only one set had anything special about it - aside from Kuzuryuu-san's chocolates, since he apparently does not like milk. That is to say, I shaped these ones specially - even if they do not look as good as the things Mioda-san was making. [ Mioda who can make an entire statue of herself in chocolate???? What the fuck, Ibuki. ]

...Is that all right? [ Don't...die, or anything, Tanaka. Sonia's not smiling now simply because she actually is legitimately concerned this might not be allowed. ]

[While he is very relieved to hear there's no salt in it, and wants to assure her that milk chocolate is of course okay (any kind of chocolate from her would have been okay, even if they'd turned out black from being burnt), she quickly attempts to answer his question in the way he'd meant it. But...

But...

What does the fact that they're the only ones she shaped mean?????? What does that mean! Does that mean they're honmei chocolates? This almost sounds like it does!! If the only thing that was special about the other chocolates was Fuyuhiko's dietary needs, that's definitely what that means right?

Which...which he's okay with? He's okay with that...but what if he's wrong? If he says it's okay and he runs away with the wrong idea, and then gives her something far more expensive and special on White Day, that's be bad...should he ask? Should he be that forward? No, it's better to ask. He doesn't want to fuck up, and a little embarrassment over being wrong now is worth it.

Look at all this maturity he's showing.]

They're honmei then...?

[Even if the question is still mumbled from behind his scarf.]

[ At least he isn't running away, even if he has retreated behind his scarf once more. The amount to which Tanaka is flustered is cute, but it's making Sonia flustered -

Unacceptable! One of them has to be confident about matters. And she is meant to rule an entire country someday (if Novoselic still stands - even if it does not). Such a matter should not deter her. Shoulders back, chin up, voice firm; ]

That is the case! However, do not feel obliged to do or say anything regarding the matter!

[ Yeah, that sounded like one of her royal decrees, completely by accident. If Tanaka retreats behind his scarf when he's flustered, Sonia starts barking out orders for her own part. ]

[Well that settles that. A royal decree like that, it must be so! These are honmei chocolates, no doubt about that, but a demand like that just won't stand. Amazingly, he doesn't actually retreat further into his scarf like you might expect. He drops it completely, using two fingers to gesture with firmly.]

Unacceptable! If you receive chocolates from a girl, no matter what kind they are, you must return the gesture! If you cannot do at least that, you cannot call yourself a man!

[He's a Good Boy. His mama raised him right thank you very much. That said, he's still very flustered, almost seeming to puff up a little in the way his shoulders raise some and his chest fills with air and holds it for a bit. And then he lets it out slowly, cheeks almost seeming to grow redder with the action.]

Th-that said, the fact that they are honmei chocolates is...surprising. It must be the demonic charms that have hypnotized you into believing such an act is in any way a good idea. I...accept them, though.

[It's kind of a mismatch of genuinely trying to brush it off, but trying to genuinely accept them too...sorry about that.]

Ack - [ There's actual genuine surprise because people so rarely correct her like that outside of a class trial, especially when she lays down the law, but at least she doesn't call him a peon or get further flustered, like she has with Hinata on at least one occasion. ]

Is that so... [ Which part was she responding to? ]

I do not think it surprising at all! Nor do I find myself to be under the influence of demonic charms! At the least, no more so than usual. Do not you dare imply it is anything other than my own will, Tanaka-san! On this matter, I cannot allow it to be said otherwise!

[ Ah, spoke too soon about flipping into royal mode. This is supremely dumb????????? Just call it a win and leave, Sonia... ]

Hhk--!!

[Shit, what kind of rebuttal is that? What is he even supposed to say to that? He's struck silent, not sure how to take this sentiment. Because if it's not surprising, and it's not demonic charms, and it's her own will that's steering it...]

I-is...is that so...

[He can't hope to cross swords with her, can he? His scarf is back up over his nose, wings drooping a little almost...he's at a total loss...]

[ Victory. Of...some sort. Sonia brightens up once more, clapping her hands together. ]

Well, then! I do not know what other plans you have for the day, but I do not intend to take up all your time. Though, I should mention that Nanami-san wishes to go to the movies tonight and I have agreed to accompany her. Everyone is invited, should they wish to attend - though if you or anyone else does not wish to go, there is no need to go.

[ May as well start throwing out invites, though, just in case it impacts people's evening plans. ]

...I'll consider it...

[He might go, if he's recovered by then. Will he be recovered by then? It's hard to say at this point. He sure doesn't feel like it...]

[ Will he ever recover? ]

I shall see you later regardless. [ At dinner, presumably, at least. Or...around??? She accomplished one mission for the day, but she still has to track down everyone else and hand out the rest of her treats. And research movies that are viewing as per Nanami's request... ]

Please take care, Tanaka-san!

[ Unless he stops her, it appears whirlwind Sonia is going to leave the room??? Apparently things are settled to her satisfaction. ]

[Nope, no stopping whirlwind Sonia. He just kind of raises a hand in a little wave as she goes. He's going to stand here for a while and then go sleep, good luck on those missions of yours.]
