bore him with the details? the wolf cocked his head curiously at that. out of everyone, shouldn't lucina know that he was obsessed with details? why would she withhold them from him? he'd wait until she finished her statement before questioning it, though -- oh, that was why. romantics, huh? well, inaho could see why lucina hadn't elaborated much further on it, then. of course, for once in his life, the logical wolf was wrong, but he didn't know that yet. so it seemed that lucina had developed a crush, hm?

inaho was certainly curious over who it was. he hadn't had the chance to talk with many of the new blizzardclanners, so he likely wouldn't know even if lucina disclosed their name, but still. curiosity. [color=#FD7F3E]"may i inquire who he is and what he is like?" the ebony wolf would question. he wasn't really sure what to say. it wasn't as if he could give her relationship advice, after all.

if lucina had outright told him, he probably wouldn't have believed her. he was like a machine, but he still had emotions occasionally. one of those emotions? self-doubt. he knew he was logical and intelligent and brilliant and everything everyone else called him, but he also knew that he was machine-like. he was mechanical in his actions and the exact opposite of empathetic. hell, emotions outright [i]scared him. if lucina had told him that she liked him, inaho would have stared calmly back and possibly raised the point that he wasn't very good with jokes and if she could possibly explain everything with just the facts, you know, he'd appreciate that. all in the cold, emotionless tone of his, of course.

of course, that wasn't what happened. instead, she carried on giving traits, and inaho started piecing it together. if it had been anyone else, the description would have clearly given the identity away with the level of the male's intelligence and logic. of course, when it came to him, it was a different issue. he would never possibly think it was him. he was undeserving of love. after all, how could he expect anyone to love an emotionless shell like him who probably couldn't even love them back? so as lucina kept talking, inaho kept getting steadfastly more confused. he had never heard of anyone like them. they weren't very well known now, but that shouldn't matter too much. after all inaho wasn't around much now either.

but well known back then? inaho couldn't think of anyone from him and lucina's generation that had a matching description. the black wolf stared blankly back towards his friend for a long moment. in his head, he ran various possibilities, trying to decipher the identity. finally, he would give up with a slight shrug. [b][color=#FD7F3E]"do i know him?" inaho questioned. it seemed that, for once in his life, inaho xerses-kaizuka had indeed been outsmarted.

[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 380px; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12px]at best inaho could figure, this was a possession or mental sickness type of situation. his fighting skills were rusty and he was still getting used to his mechanical eye, but he'd still be there as backup in case something went wrong. of course, the wolf fully trusted his sister to manage the situation, but inaho would feel safer if he was there as well. the ex-deputy would come over silently, merely nodding in response to tama's announcements.

[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 380px; font-family: georgia; text-align: justify; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 12px]the black wolf jolted in uncomfortable confusion at lucina's laugh. this was definitely not a reaction he had expected from her. perhaps diversion, if she was uncomfortable telling him. simply telling him she didn't want to say, even walking away wouldn't be too out of reach. but laughing? inaho was confused. usually, people laughed if something was funny or ironic. and there was no way that situation had been even mildly close to funny or ironic. well, there was one possibility, but it was impossible, and therefore he had run out of plausible options and was [i]confused. he didn't like the feeling at all, even less than he liked his emotions. at least he could somewhat guess with his emotions what he was going to feel, what others were going to feel. with this confusion, he was at a loss for words. he didn't know what to say.

he supposed he could simply ask her why she was laughing, but this situation was so far removed from what he had been expecting that inaho simply stood and watched her, dumbfounded. finally regaining his control over his own body, the former deputy was about to question her when their eyes locked. fiery yet dead orange eyes would stare back at the contrasting sapphire orbs. he froze. why was she looking at him like that? her laughs had faded; she had gone back to treating this as a serious situation. though inaho was quite thankful for that, he was still somewhat shocked and confused, allowing lucina to take charge of this conversation. for quite a few tense, long seconds, their eyes remained there, steadfastly staring into the other's. each wolf waited with baited breath, lucina preparing herself, inaho waiting in curiosity and confusion. something big is about to happen.

"it's you."

the black wolf didn't comprehend the words at first. his question had been if he had known them, so that wasn't a valid answer unless... oh. lucina wasn't the type to lie or joke, and this was a serious matter, but the former deputy simply couldn't comprehend that someone had emotions for him. inaho wouldn't ask her if she was joking. he knew her well enough to know from the look in her eyes that no, she wasn't joking. she was serious about this. how was he supposed to react? but his logical mind wasn't working, and the ex-deputy would blurt out the first thing that came to his mind. [b][color=#FD7F3E]"i also have romantic feelings and emotions for you." way to go, inaho, just continue being a dork.

inaho patiently waited for a response. he had never done anything like this. hell, the closest he had gotten were those sappy romantic movies, and they weren't exactly an ideal model, especially not for someone as stoic as the wolf. honestly, the idea of inaho pouring his heart out in a lengthy confession was totally absurd. though, if someone told him to write a research paper on lucina, that's probably what would happen. obviously, the content would be a little different than the usual "her eyes twinkle like stars in the night sky". inaho was starting to get anxious by the time lucina finally spoke. hmm. perhaps she did not believe him? or perhaps, like the ex-deputy, she was simply unwilling to embrace such an idea?

[b][color=#FD7F3E]"yes," inaho would acquiesce. [color=#FD7F3E]"i am unsure why i feel this way, but i believe this emotion is called love."

it appeared that he had made lucinda at a loss for words. that was alright. the wolf himself had nothing more to say on the matter. he didn't know much about emotions or confessing to begin with, and was dreadfully uncertain of what else to do. maybe he should read some romance novels and study them for some clues to what to do. inaho was snapped out of his thoughts as the vice-leader began to speak again.

so. he was in love. she was in love. [i]they were in love. a romantic tie that inaho had never thought would be possible, not for someone so emotionally dead like he was. but no, focus. she had loved him for...that long? she had missed him. she had genuinely missed him and wanted him beside her as a friend...maybe something more? for the first time in his life, inaho's eyes glinted with emotion. an emotion he had never felt before, one resonating with wonder and happiness and...love. [b][color=#FD7F3E]"i..." his voice caught. another first. [color=#FD7F3E]"i would like that. thank you."

if someone had decided to peek into inaho's room, they would have found a curious assortment of items indeed: romance books were now stuck between books about biology and physics. and in the back of the room was -- well, that was a secret. the item was shaped like a table with something on top, with a blanket draped over it to prevent prying eyes from seeing. that was inaho's reason for being secluded in his room for so long -- for once, he wasn't studying or making experiments, but he was doing something for someone else, someone else he [i]loved.

and not a month after the confession, inaho was finished. in the hours before the sun rose, the former deputy was scrambling around camp, much to the amusement of the npc guard. finally, the black-pelted wolf finished, sitting down to wait. to his right was a basket, from which the delicious aroma of bear meat flowed freely. to his left was a small box, black in color and free from any identifying markings. and in front of him was the item he had worked so hard to forge, covered in a satin layer of cloth.

now all he had to do was wait for his love.

[b][color=#FD7F3E]"would you like a blanket?" he questioned, his voice blank and monotone as usual.

[b][color=#FD7F3E]"i read that gifts were a way to show your partner your affection and love, so i arranged for these gifts," the black canine would explain. first uncovered was the sword, the satin cover delicately lifted to reveal a beautifully crafted weapon. it was large, but not hard to use, with sturdy metal as the blade and a leather-wrapped and silver studded hilt. it wasn't anything too flashy, but aesthetically pleasing anyways. [color=#FD7F3E]"i forged it myself, so there may be unsatisfactory elements to it. please don't feel obliged to use it. it's fine for ornamental purposes as well," inaho would say.

and then to the next one. the small black box was a jewelry one, stolen from a human town's local jeweler. the diamond necklace inside it, like the sword, had been made by inaho himself, after extensive research on aestheticism and cutting diamonds. the necklace, like the sword, was simple -- a small diamond jewel hanging on a necklace of silver. [color=#FD7F3E]"will you allow me to place this on you?" the former deputy would question, gentle smile now containing a slight bit of nervousness. he didn't know if lucina was the type to like jewelry, but he had heard it was a popular gift...

and finally, the basket that clearly contained his girlfriend's favorite food. [color=#FD7F3E]"and lastly, if you're so willing to oblige, i would like to ask you on our first official date," inaho would say.
