[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.]

[It's funny, but the bit where Aya isn't yelling at him? It's making Ken feel worse. Awkwardly, he rubs at the back of his neck.]

Sorry, Aya. I-- this ain't how I wanted to tell you.

Well, I'm sorry anyway. This was a really dumb thing to do.

[Awkward apology is very very awkward.]

Ken, I'll be content in the knowledge that if you ever hurt her...I'll kill you.

Huh... yeah. Yeah, you're probably right. Thanks, Aya.

[Small smile here. Honestly, any help at all is already way more than he deserves]
