A nice card with a handwritten message in dark blue fountain pen ink: Thank you for your carnations and note! xoxo

[DM to Asher]

Hi [...] Asher. Thank you for your [...] delivery. It was A Choice for sure.

Oh, the carnation? You're welcome.

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

I didn't know you felt this way at all. Are you one of those ✨ shy ✨ guys who can only say what they mean in writing?

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

[...] I didn't mean any deep subtext by it. Though I do think you're very nice, of course. I actually sent lots of carnations. I didn't want anyone to feel left out.

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

[...]

You sent the same note to everyone? That seems very [...] insincere and possibly sending the wrong message then.

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

Is there some deeper meaning to 'Flower Day' that I'm not aware of?

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

Oh, you are A.S.! I thought those were from work.

I guess this means you did not send my the 24 carnations with the note that says My love glows for you even brighter than my skin does.!!!

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

From w Huh. I didn't even clock the initials there.

[...] No. I'm sorry, I didn't send that to you. Someone sent you that with my name signed?

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

:( I thought so! There is apparently someone who has sent carnations with false signatures.

I guess you don't have these feelings

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

That's very unkind of them. I'm sorry that happened to you. [...] Are you all right?

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

I'm fine.

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

That's a terrible line they tried, too. Reports of my overall suaveness may vary, but I could at least do better than that.

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

Was it that terrible? I don't have much experience with ✨ suaveness ✨

Ashbie.

[cursorily]

I think it's mostly that I don't view glowing in the dark as a desirable asset, so I wouldn't start with it.

Ashbie.

[bahbie]

Well I think it's very pretty.

You're welcome, I'm sorry it's not up to your crafting standards but Happy Valentine's Day. And thank you for the flowers and note too. It's was a good joke.

What pen are you using?

Brobie

[bahbie]

I hope you're having a wonderful Valentine's Day, everyone has been so nice and my whole apartment is full of flowers.

I am using a Kaweco Sport in Iridescent Pearl. It is a Collector's Edition!

It sounds like you're having a very good February, then. You did a great job with the blind date books, I was wondering if you had any thoughts about wanting to do more in the library. I'm not sure about your other responsibilities, but I think you'd like it here.

How'd you manage that? You think I could try it out?

Brobie

[bahbie]

Can I?? Easter is right around the corner. Maybe I can intern with your department instead??

I got it online. I think they just called it that for marketing. When I shadowed Jenn from Marketing, she said a lot of the words you see in stores are just for marketing reasons and don't actually mean anything real.

I don't see why not, I can make the request. I think Hannah would really appreciate someone with actual creativity to help her, and I'm sure you have some great ideas.

That's true, it's a lot of bullshit. But that stroke is beautiful, you can't fake that.

Brobie

[bahbie]

I like Hannah! She is very fun and I can see her becoming a great example of a girl boss in a few years.

I will bring it with me to show you next time I'm in the library and you can try it out! 🖋️

So can I, the Society is filled with very impressive women putting the rest of us men to absolute shame. Yourself included.

I'll pull out the ones I have. I know Sharona is a pen nerd too, maybe we can have a little show and tell.

Brobie

[bahbie]

Thank you!! :)

Oh we could form a club.
