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.]

Uh... how's your day been?

[...Okay that was abrupt. Also, SHE SAW THAT OSHIT FACE YOU JUST MADE.]

...Peachy. You?

[Well, it wasn't going too badly until I made this video post.]

Uh... it's been fine...

[You don't sound peachy, Aya.]

[GOOD CALL, KEN.]

Mmh. Good.

So. Who's the lucky girl?

[Ken sighs, and retrieves the giraffe. He holds it up so she can see it.

[Well. Here goes nothing.]

I got you this but I figured it was stupid. Do you like chocolate strawberries?

[Long pause. Sorry Ken, still processing that over here.]

[And she very nearly just hangs up on the spot. Is even looking away and reaching for the button with her thumb. Something stops her at the last second.]

Done

[What was wrong with her? Getting upset because Ken likes a girl and then getting upset again on learning it was her.]

I'll be down at the fountain soon. Don't go anywhere.

[She hangs up before he can respond.]
