Good day. My name is Sandalphon, and I manage Cafe Azure.
With Valentine's Day approaching, I would like to devise a menu for the occasion. Since our realms differ greatly, what flavors and motifs are common to the holiday where you come from?
I'm familiar with chocolate and anatomically inaccurate hearts.
Also, do any local businesses offer free refreshments to new arrivals? It has occurred to me that this may help them acclimate.
Thank you in advance for any input.

This means I must find the perfect gift for you.
But not just anything would do if Sandy has put so much thought into my own.
Shall you be waiting with bated breath until the 14th of this month?
no subject
[ Killing him here, Lucio. ]
I'll distribute gifts in a timely manner, if that's what you mean. I've never understood why mortals regard such exchanges with as much anticipation as they do.
1/2
I will be certain to perform all the Valentine's rituals with sincerity.
Now, what would they say days before the big day...
Ah yes.
2/2
Oh? You're not getting me anything. I see. I am thoroughly saddened and not expecting a surprise at all.
no subject
Is this truly a custom?
no subject
It will not be as enjoyable if you do not toy with my expectations a little.
1/2
You'd only pry a gift from my cold, dead hands, you glittering boob.
2/2
[ That's what he wanted, right...?
He's only indulging this because he sort of missed this ridiculous Luciform creature he's kind of friends with. A little. ]
no subject
Excellent! I can truly feel the play at animosity.
It is almost as if you had dug down deep inside to pull out such biting words, but I know you would never say such things.
Have you ever considered become a stage actor yourself?
no subject
[ There certainly was a time in the recent past where he would be just that grudging. Now, though, he doesn't mind easing up to some degree.
A strange thing indeed, and one he has no intention of trying to put to words. ]
As you might recall, I have my own aspirations. I'll leave that line of nonsense to you.
For that matter, I'm uncertain why such a thing interests you.
no subject
I seem to never run out of tales to orate.
The Prismals have supplied me with new material from which to draw inspiration from.
[ Which reminds him- ]
You have yet to come see any of my performances.
no subject
Stage performances were never something I chanced to observe.
[ No talent shows in Pandemonium, you know. ]
no subject
As long as you uphold proper audience etiquette, I see no reason why you should not attend.
I can even get you tickets to the first row so that you can bring Lucifer with you.
[ How many chances is Lucio himself going to get to be the one front and center on angel date night? ]
no subject
It does, perhaps despite common sense, still surprise him that Lucio would want him there though. ]
Have any of the others attended your performances thus far? I would imagine others may have asked, were they aware.
It strikes me as proper to pay, if that is your vocation in this world... Though I do recall you expressed interest in the cafe at one point, so I hadn't realized you had taken up your trade here.
no subject
[ He will leave Sandalphon to guess, though Lucio never minds when crew members come to watch him. It is nice to see some recognizable faces in the crowd. ]
I work with the troupe for free.
There is no imperative to take payment I do not need.
And I handle both professions of barista and storyteller with great aplomb, would you not say?
[ Compliment him, Sandy. Complimeeeeent him. ]
no subject
[ He supposes there is something to be said from having support, and Lucio readily offered his own where the cafe was concerned.
Not that he'll admit that he also wants to return that kindness. ]
You handle Prismals fawning over you more easily than most, I'm certain. As for your work as a barista, there remains much to learn.
[ And this time, he'll actually teach. That might be a compliment in its own right, maybe. ]
no subject
[ He will draw it out long and slow for him so Sandy can retain the sound of it coming from this voice. ]
no subject
But I am not an instructor, that would be Elmott.
[ Trying to murder him in ways he won't even understand, eh, Lucio? ]
no subject
I will show up early with my Cafe Azure apron.
[ He knows Sandy never gave him one, so he made one for himself to maintain the employee dress code. ]
no subject
Since when do you have an apron?
[ He could swear he hasn't had occasion to give Lucio one since his return... Or rather, he's been so focused on other things that he's overlooked this provision. ]
no subject
Oh, this little thing? I just found one lying around.
[ Notice him, Sandy-senpai. ]
no subject
[ So he'll argue, anyway. ]
Anyhow, I will provide you with a proper apron. You need not improvise.
no subject
I see that appearance is very important.
Allow me to jot that down then I will show up promptly for my lessons.
[ Every time Sandy gives him an inch, he takes an entire planet's circumference. ]
no subject
[ And just as Lancelot had once said, a uniform was important to have. ]
I'm certain you've no need of notes.
[ He signed up for this, and yet...
Lucio, please, mercy. ]
no subject
You know how forgetful I can be.
[ Never mind that he remembers ever single detail from the beginning of time and existence itself... ]
Now, please await me. I shall meet you at your bistro.
