Video 07 → What Do Women Want, Anyway?

[irregular]

[Unfiltered. Let's see how long it takes Ken to realize this.]

[Ken sits on the edge of the fountain in Espoir, frowning into the camera in aggrieved confusion, as if it personally has done him some disservice.]

Uh... this is probably gonna sound dumb but Does anyone know what kind of stuff you get a girl you like that isn't totally stupid or creepy?

[The head and neck of a toy giraffe are just visible in the lower right hand corner of the frame. Ken glances over at it as he speaks, then shoves it quickly down in an attempt to get it out of shot, without any real noticeable success. An awkward look flickers across his face. Great, so he's already seriously regretting deciding to ask this question and he hasn't even finished saying it yet...]

And I'm not gonna do flowers.

[The feed cuts off quickly.]

Well, that probably depends on her... Chocolates are fairly standard, I think, but a girl I knew [trying to keep as straight a face as possible here] liked small cakes especially.

[... Something's seriously wrong with the world when Dominic is giving out love life advice.]

[That or Ken seriously just fails and should probably just give it up and become a monk.]

Chocolates. Hm. You know I think she likes strawberries, maybe something with that in... do you get them in chocolate?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

Well, I know there's strawberries dipped in chocolate, but I'm not sure if there's any chocolate with them inside. Maybe with strawberry cream...?

Oh, I've had those chocolate strawberry things, my roommate had some left over at Valentine's and they were going off so I ate them. They're kind of nice. Maybe I should get her some of those?

[unfearful.livejournal.com]

If you think she'll like them.

[... Again, Dominic's only experience with girls is with Anemone, so he can hardly call himself an expert on the subject.]

I can always give it a go, right? Worst she can do is say she doesn't like 'em, I guess, and at least then I'll know for next time.

[Ken, who only ever seems to end up in relationships by accident, has pretty much the same problem. Any guess is good enough for him.]
