A Match Made In Heaven

WHO: Asch the Bloody, Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear, Yuri Lowell
WHAT: The Valentine Love Matchmaker™ might not have all of its kinks worked out, because it generates not one match for Natalia, but two?! Or maybe the Moogles just figured that Yuri and Asch were the type to ditch and theorized this way the odds were better at least one of them might show up. It's not like they'd both go along with a Moogle scheme, right?
WHEN: February 14th
WHERE: Aqures Ixen


As expected, Natalia was not only punctual, but arrived in front of the Temple of Fire ten minutes early. One could never rely too heavily on timepieces, as they had a tendency to run slow under the most unfortunate of circumstances.

She'd been told little about what was expected of her, save the mention that the event was largely diplomatic in nature and that she had best dress herself like a princess, not a warrior. So be it, she supposed. In her trademark colors of turquoise and white, she adorned herself in a regal gown with a skirt that tapered from baring her knees in the front to nearly touching the ground in the back. She fastened a pristine white camellia blossom to the blue band in her hair, elegant white gloves sheathing her hands all the way up to just a few inches below the shoulders.

However, when she arrived to find Moogles with trumpets, an elegant carriage, and a choir singing the praises of love and romance, her expression became cross. "What is the meaning of this? I was told to expect diplomacy!"

"Dates are diplomacyyyyyy~!" the choir sang at her.

"Now really!" she planted her hands on her hips. "I don't have time for something so silly. Shouldn't we be preparing to save the world? How is a date going to help with this?"

"WELL ACTUALLY!" A bespectacled Moogle wheeled out a chalkboard with several complex formulas already written upon it. Deftly he wielded the chalk, his short stumpy arms a blur of motion. "As you can see, the complex bonds formed by Heroes of Light, exacerbated by situations which provoke unavoidable attachment can often simulate--"

More Moogles had begun to gather around the board, writing furiously on their clipboards and nodding in fervent understanding.

"--and by extrapolating the data gathered from numerous simulations involving the test subjects it becomes increasingly likely that bonds of intimacy can form more successful bonds when the subjects are placed in combat or situations involving great distress--"

"Mm hm, mm hm, mm hm!" Nod nod nod, scribble scribble scribble.

"Resulting in-- MAAAAAAAAAAGIC!"

Natalia stood dumbfounded. She wasn't entirely sure she understood half of the facts and figures being flung at her, which had all been capped off by one big heart drawn on the chalkboard with 'SUCCESS!' written in the middle. But she had to admit, there was some sense in becoming better acquainted and familiar with her allies if they were going to cooperate as a team when it came time to fight Garland.

"I...I see. Very well, then," she cleared her throat. "Just who is my...my destined match?" she asked, feeling a faint touch of heat warm her cheeks. Surely it was Asch. They had been betrothed as children, so who else could it be?

Rather than answering Natalia directly, the Moogles swiveled as one, raising their trumpets and blaring out a triumphant fanfare to announce the arrival of her intended date. It seemed at least one of them had arrived after all!

"M-magic?"

Well he came in at the wrong time when this conversation happened. Honestly, Yuri had better things to do but strangely enough, checking on Natalia seemed to be part of his business rather than not. He seemed a bit perplexed with the whole Valentine's Day thing. Right now he's not even sure what's going on much less do anything about the initial holiday of giving chocolates.

Last year he spent it carving chocolate with Rukia. This year well-- this was a new way of twisting it.

"Can someone tell me why it's so loud in here and--- Princess what are you doing here anyway?"

Bachelor number one at your service only not.
