Freminet sneezes and Arlecchino hurries to offer a handkerchief from her pocket-
...except the handkerchief is apparently tied to a veritable kilometer of colored sashes
Arle: *still uselessly pulling from her pocket* God damn it, Lyney...

Arle walks in on Furina doing the dishes-
Arle: You know we have a dishwasher, right?
Furina: I like doing them by hand. I never... No one ever let me do chores before.
Arle: *smiles softly* Would you like some help?
Furina: Yes. *bashfully* No one has ever asked me that either.
Arle: *teasing* Sometimes I wonder if there are any thoughts behind those pretty eyes of yours.
Furina: *scoffs* I think about ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐บ of interesting things.
Those things- Aah, she's so amazing! How did I get so lucky? I want to cuddle her. I want to stroke her hair. I want to kiss her. I'm so ๐จ๐ข๐บ!
A surprise birthday party for Furina-
Arlecchino, Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, Neuvillette, Clorinde, and Navia: Happy Birthday, Furina!!!
Furina: *immediately starts sobbing*
Arle: *panicked* What's wrong?
Furina: *hugs her tight* I never thought I could have something like this.
Arlefuri first time sex-
Arle: I assume you don't have a lot of experience, so I'll be gentle.
Furina: Ha! Do you really think I've just been pining all alone for 500 years?
Arle: *blinks in shock* I- um-
Furina: *grins devilishly* I'll try not to be too rough with you, Knave~
Arle finds an old notebook of Furina's-
Arle: A list?
Furina: Aah! Don't-!
Arle: Kissing... Dinner dates... Some of these are crossed out?
Furina: *blushes* It's just a bunch of romantic fantasies I had over the years...
Arle: I'm keeping it. *winks* I want to check all your boxes, after all.
Arlecchino going grocery shopping for her wife-
Arle: *sees cake* Furina would love this. *sees plushie* Furina would love that too.
That evening-
Furina: I gave you a list! What is all this?!
Arle: My love for you.
Furina: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO EAT FOR DINNER TONIGHT?!
Furina: Howdy, pardner.
Arle: ...What?
Furina: That's not the line!
Arle: Who are you even supposed to be?
Furina: A cowboy! Y'know, from the Wild West! Horses! Guns! Yeehaw!
Arle: What's the Wild West?
Furina: I... I don't know. *frowns* And I've never seen a horse either.
Charlotte: Sleeping on the floor ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ'๐ต be comfortable.
Lynette: *drowsily* Mn, the carpet is soft... The sun makes this spot so nice and warm too.
Charlotte hesitates but then lays down next to her-
Lynette: *purrs happily* Recharging...
Furina practicing for a court case with Arle-
Furina: With the evidence I've laid out, you can see that-
Arle: Objection! The opposing counsel is distractingly attractive!
Furina: *blushing* That's not a real-
Arle: Sustained!
Furina: *blushing harder* You're not the judge!
Furina: Ugh, I hate the uniforms the operatives wear. They're so over-the-top and it just feels like they're trying too hard.
Arle: I designed them myself.
Furina: A- actually, the uniforms are really stylish. Exquisite. Perfect even, now that I think about it.
Furina, Navia, and Clorinde playing D&D-
Navia: So there's my human, Clorinde's melusine, and Furina's...
Furina: Half-dragon, half-vampire, half-adeptus.
Clorinde: *sighs deeply* That's a bit much...
Furina: Tch, I explained it in her backstory! Didn't you read the 20 page document I sent you??
Arlebina-
Arle: You have beautiful eyes.
Bina: *frowning* I've never shown you my eyes.
Arle: Well, I simply assumed they're the same as the rest of you.
Bina: I see.
Arle: *smirks* How ironic.
Bina: *smiling* Shut up.
Arlefuri after meeting all the other harbingers-
Furina: *grumpily* So let me get this straight... You've not only slept with Columbina, but also Sandrone and even the Tsaritsa herself? Am I missing anyone?!
Arle: *glances guiltily at Signora's coffin*
Furina: Oh my ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ
Charlotte interviewing Heizou-
Charlotte: Is it true that the government of Inazuma is just a complicated web of romantic relationships?
Heizou: Let me explain. *pulls out a giant flow chart* It all starts with the Shogun. Sara and Miko are fan favorites, but you can't forget Kokomi...
Furina meets Fischl for the first time:
Fischl: Behold, visitor from afar! I am the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!
Furina: *immediately hugs her*
Fischl: Huh?!
Furina: The facade, it's- I understand. And it gets better. I promise.
Fischl: *quietly* Do you want to be friends?
Lynette hears a crash in the kitchen and goes to investigate-
Lynette: Oh God, not again. *shouts* Lyney!
Lyney: *rushes in* What is it?
Lynette: Dad's clipping through the counter again.
Arle: *glitching out* D- don't wor- ry. Every- thing is un- der contr- ol.
Furina: *eats more* I like it.
Arle: *laughs* You don't have to be polite, Droplet.
Furina: I'm not lying. I like it because it's something you love, and you shared it with me.
Arle: *takes Furina's hand* Thank you... Sincerely.
Furina: *smiles* I like making my fiance happy.
Arle: It was a great victory for me when I first made it, even with its humble appearance. Raw meat because there wasn't a fire. No seasoning because I couldn't afford it. Poorly mimicking the dishes I saw through windows of fine restaurants. It was still the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.
Arle: Life was difficult for a young orphan. My... mother barely kept the hearth warm, much less fed us every day. We had to scrounge for ourselves. *points to the tartare*
This was the only thing I could reliably fill my stomach with.
Furina: *eats a bite* It's not... overly flavorful.
Arle: No, it's not meant to be. At least not my version.
Furina: *curiously* Why not?
Arle: This is another one of those stories that will make you sad.
Furina: *takes her hand* I want to know.
The following night, there is no feast. Arle puts only a small plate in front of Furina. It's a simple steak tartare: raw beef on a bed of onions and a slice of bread. A rich red sauce is drizzled across the top, but otherwise there is no seasoning-
Furina: Are you happy with the stuff you cook? What's your favorite food anyways?
Arle: My favorite? *looks distant* It's... not anything special.
Furina: I don't believe that. Tomorrow, would you cook it for me?
Arle: *hesitant* ...I can.
Arlecchino and Furina eating the dinner Arle cooked. It's a sumptuous feast of meats, soups, baguettes, and a large dessert-
Furina: You know, you always cook such amazing foods for me.
Arle: I like making my fiance happy.
Furina: *smiles* But what about you?
Arle: What about me?
Harbingers discussing Arlefuri in Snezhnaya-
Pierro: Such a bond is shameful.
Columbina: I'm surprised she hasn't broken the little archon yet.
Pantalone: To think the Knave was this pathetic all along.
Tsaritsa: Quiet, all of you. *smiles* Let her cook.
Arlefuri meeting Columbina-
Bina: Ah, my wife has found herself a girlfriend.
Furina: ๐๐ฉ?! Arle?!
Arle: No-?! *glares at Bina* Tell the truth!
Bina: Yes, I'm sorry. *smiles sadly* She left me at the altar.
Furina: ๐๐๐๐?!
Arle: THAT'S NOT-
Furina: THIS POOR GIRL!!
Bina: *smirking* Woe is me~
Arlefuri and Pantalone-
Furina: Nice to meet you!
Pantalone: Ah, I finally get to meet Miss "Miscellaneous Expenses" herself.
Arle: *scoffs* I don't spend ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต much on her.
Furina: You bring me a slice of the finest cake everyday.
Arle: Well-
Furina: And don't get me started on the lingerie.
Arlecchino: How do you feel about pet names?
Furina: *blankly* Well you have to call them something, right?
Arlecchino: *sighs* I can't believe I'm attracted to you.
Furina: Arle, what's the Spanish word for tortilla?
Arlecchino: *holding her head in her hands* Oh my God.
