Dear fellow guests,

Have you heard of the holiday "Saint Valentine's Day?"

With the turn of the month, the upcoming date is on my mind. Preparations for any formal celebrations of the holiday at the mansion typically begin around this time.

In any case, for those who are unaware, allow me to share the tradition with you: Saint Valentine's Day is a celebrated time of romance, taking place on the 14th day of February — a tradition which dates back many centuries.

Some say the date marks the beginning of birds' mating season, explaining its romantic association, while others connect the day with the assumed date of the execution of Saint Valentine, who, in legend, married young lovers in secret, despite the church's outlawing of the practice. Quite the tragedy...

On this day, it is common for lovers and friends alike to exchange written cards, poems, flowers and sweets as tokens of their affection.

I suppose I am curious which of these gifts you would most prefer to receive. A card filled with heartwarming feelings? The soothing aroma of a bouquet? A satisfying treat?

Or, perhaps, there is something different altogether which would lighten your spirit on Saint Valentine's. Hehe... would you enlighten me?

Best regards,
Giselle

[Or maybe he's jaded...]

It doesn't matter, either way.

I'm not the man for the job.


[Which part is he answering? Perhaps both?]

That's right.

[He doesn't mind admitting to that; but here, on a public server, he'll not expound further without prodding.]

Either way, I can't give people what they need. Not to mention that I'm sure expectations are even higher on a holiday centered around this kind of thing.

What about you? Are you going to be giving flowers away to a special someone?

[You know, he's going to take it rhetorically, anyway.]

Then will you return home to visit them when the time comes?
