[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.]

Hm. [Hi there, Ken. Miss me?]

I might be persuaded to wear a bow and deliver myself to her door.

Darling.

Is that a stuffed animal? If it is, and the girl in question isn't 12, I suggest you burn it.

[Because that's what he'd get Anemone. But then again, Anemone was also ridiculously fond of them (something that is admittedly thanks to Dominic, but I digress) so that's probably not saying much.]

It would still be a thoughtful gift if you hand-selected the arrangement with care, as opposed to the standard dozen red roses.

[Hi, this is Aya trying to figure out why this post bothers her. Trying to remind herself Ken is her friend and she should be encouraging and helpful. Trying to pretend her stomach doesn't hurt right now.]

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.
