💕 Have A Heart! 💕

Today is one of a kind, special day, filled with love for all. Ignis and elderly residents of Yun'Aisha, welcome you in this cozy, snowy town to celebrate Valentine's Day! The residents of Yun'Aisha, as well as elderly people from nearby farms, agreed to help Ignis organize this small celebration. Transportation has been organized for anyone who wants to visit! Take your loved ones by the hand and have a walk around the Town, enjoy the small events, have fun and relax!

💝 1. The Heart Vendors 💝
The First, and most prominent attraction in the town, are Chocolate Heart vendors.
In the spirit of the Holiday, they sell Chocolate Hearts in every color you can imagine.
There are vendors and shops selling the treats on every corner throughout the town, managed very welcoming grandmas, wearing red scarves and rose crowns. They will encourage you and your companion to buy together 4 hearts, in 4 different colors, to make a four-leaf clover for good luck!
And don't worry! All hearts are all fresh and handmade with lots of love!
Make sure to try one because there will be none tomorrow! Any leftover chocolate will be donated to hard working Moogles at the Curti Center!

🐣 2. Pet-A-Chocobo! 🐣
The Second biggest attraction is in the center of the city where farmers are bringing their most beautiful chocobos and chocochicks for the exhibition!
The birds are excited you came to see them- yellow, blue, green and black chocobos and chocochiks are welcoming you to take a picture with them!
If you are free, you are welcome to lend the chocobo breeders a helping hand!
Some of the more ~active~ chocochiks went wandering around the Town Square. Round them up and get a free ticket for any drink at Cup-O-Kawhee! Spicy hot chocolate is what they will recommend you!
If you don't have time for this, it's ok! The farmers will round them up eventually!
Feel free to feed them greens, pet them and take a picture with them!
The little ones are happy to see you!

🚩 3. Fun and Games! 🚩
There are many other things you can do at the Festival, which includes, but is not limited, to:

• Shooting range! The person that knocks down 5 cans in three shots, gets a ticket for a free drink at Ignis' coffee shop!•
• Visit the Lucky Fountain and make a wish! They say it works only on February 14th!•
• There are many colorful stands that sell chocobo hats! Don't you want a chocobo hat? Of course you do! And they have a matching scarf to boot!•
• Play Truth-or-Dare Spin The Wheel! The person that spins the wheel has to do whichever event the wheel stops on~ Test your luck!•
• If you are feeling generous, you can lend a hand in cleaning up the place. The Moogles and the Elderly will really appreciate the help!•

☕ 4. Cup-O-Kawhee Welcomes You! ☕
At the end of the day, when you are tired from walking so much, from chasing after chocobos and excitement from the dares,
Cup-O-Kawhee and Ignis welcome you to drop by, rest and warm up.
The shop is quaint and decorated for the occasion- but not in an overly flashy way
The tablecloth is a deep red color, decorated on the edges with a golden design. There are flowers everywhere- courtesy of Gladio.
Ignis still doesn't know how he manages to raise flowers in the middle of winter.
Every guest gets at the door a complimentary box with a chocolate truffle, handed out by Moogle Ebony and Ignis' assistant Ren.
Tea and coffee are half the price today- getting those toes warmed up again is a must!

🎊 5. Go Wild! 🎊
Is there anything else you want to do in the town during this day?
Here's your wild card!

Enjoy the Festival and Happy Valentines Day!

Ravus isn't sure how Ignis manages to move so quietly when he can't see, but he must know the cafe like the back of his hand by now. He reaches up to squeeze Ignis' hand as he goes by.

"It is not an imposition. I brought you something."

The chocolate truffles he made are packaged in a little paper box. He slides them over to Ignis' side of the table.

"Dark chocolate and espresso. They can not compare to yours, of course."

Ignis raises eyebrows and feels around the paper box. Interesting. Did Ravus make this by himself?

"You really do know my tastes," Ignis says with a wide smile, taking the treat from the box and taking a bite. That's good.

"This is wonderful," Ignis says between the bites (sorry Ravus, he didn't get to eat much from how busy the morning was). "You can clearly tell two different types of bitterness and yet with a nice touch of sweetness." He hums, "Perhaps I ought to add these on the menu. They should be lovely with the coffee."

Ravus shakes his head. "They are nothing special. It is a simple recipe, more messy than it is difficult."

For all the denial, though, he is pleased Ignis likes the treat. "I can show you how to make them. They do not look as good as your pastries, though, so I do not know if they would sell."

"I would really enjoy that," Ignis nods. "And the look can easily be managed- it is the taste that is more important. And these are really good." Also, the thought of spending time in the kitchen with Ravus, cooking, sounds so good to him. He might be turning into a sentimental romantic, now that he thinks about it. Gladio is definitely rubbing off on him.

Ravus is fundamentally a private person. He has shared his treat with Ignis, and will give Gladio the ones he made for him later on; he does not find himself motivated to extend himself any further than that.

On the other hand, he does want to help support Ignis and his cafe, and he doesn't mind spending more time with Ignis.

"We can make a batch tomorrow when you get home. I will stop by the market and get ingredients before then."

Ignis knows that Ravus is a very private person, which is why this treat is so important to him. To both of them. Taking that into the account, his lovers, both Gladio and Ravus, have been spoiling him for a long time. It is time he returns the favor. He wants to proudly show that his loves are amazing and deserve all the respect and affection there is in this world.

"I would love that," Ignis affirms with a gentle smile, hand reaching out and silently seeking Ravus'.

"We can feed them to Gladio in the evening when he comes home."

"Then it shall be done." He lets Ignis take his hand.

"I was not sure what kind Gladiolus would like best, so I made dark chocolate and raspberry and white chocolate and rosewater. They do not make a ramen-flavored truffle, so I had to make an educated guess."

Just because he loves his boyfriends doesn't mean he can't call them out from time to time for their quirks.

Ignis raises an eyebrow. Ramen-flavored truffle, huh.

"Well, you cannot know that until you try to make it," Ignis says with a suspicious smile. "And also how serious you want it to be."

He leans chin on the palm of his hand as he draws circles with his other on the palm of Ravus' hand. "I believe I have a recipe for spicy, dark chocolate somewhere..." Ravus is really good at igniting Ignis' cooking imagination.

Ravus' mismatched eyes light up. Part of him can envision Gladio enjoying a treat with a little kick to it, but the more mischievous side of him...

"Just how spicy can you make it?" Because what a prank, to have one wickedly hot chocolate in the midst of the other, carefully chosen and handcrafted flavors. Gladio might be angry after, but they could find ways to make it up to him.

How spicy? A curious question considering what happened when the prank war was going on.

"Quite. I suppose that the reminder of spicy pancakes isn't a pleasant one," Ignis says with an amused smile. He still feels somewhat guilty that Ravus got caught in the crossfire of it all but it has been amusing.

"I suppose... we could take it up a notch from there."

"Let's not make it inedible. I want it to have a kick, though." Ignis has more than made up for that long-ago prank in Ravus' reckoning, though the bites he'd taken had been truly awful.

"You don't think it's too cruel, do you?" Ravus isn't good at judging matters of feelings, and Gladio tends to be the romantic of their set. Ravus is enjoying the idea of a joke, but not if it would cause real offense.

"That can definitively be arranged," Ignis nods. He's sure that there's a recipe in his notebook somewhere about spicy chocolate that's actually edible because it's used for one of the desserts. He will need Ravus to help him find it though.

Ignis gives him a reassuring smile, giving Ravus' hand a squeeze, "Not at all. Gladio does enjoy a good prank." His smile turns into a lopsided smirk, "The worst that can come off it is you getting pinned against a first flat surface for punishment."

Ravus envisions that, then clears his throat. "Ahem. That risk is not prohibitive."

He can help Ignis find the recipe he needs. "Tomorrow, then? If you block out some time, we can spend the evening making truffles together. Not the most exciting date, but I think the results will be rewarding."
