[ They are caught between oh adorable, and analyzing why he's reacting like that. Moving their hand over their mouth to cover their smile. ]
Nothing for you to worry about, my cute little bunny. I'm sure it's just that. [ There are so many pure maidens on this team, and while it isn't surprising considering things, it's still tickles something in them. It's tempting to poke him some more, but they will leave it be. They can consider using this later.
They will move their arm off of him as well. They are split between realizing it's not normal to be this affectionate, and feeling like it's natural. They will settle with putting their hand on his arm instead as they turn back to the books. ] Oh yes, there were more. There's a Scorpio and a... [ trying not to grin ] Virgo.
he's not even going to dignify the first part with a response. not even a little. instead, he is just going to take the chance to look back at the book, clearing his throat once and resuming his smooth as glass composure as ever. right. he looks at the other two... and then, dryly: ]
That look means nothing but trouble. [ what. lay it on him, what is it ]
[ Just putting him in D*sney Princess category like two other bunnies.
The done does get a smile from them. ]
All of my looks mean nothing but trouble. It happens when you look this good. [ Playfully before they move on! They are going to summarize it as soon as they get to the page. ] Virgos are logical, practical, and systematic in their approach to life. This earth sign is a perfectionist at heart and isn't afraid to improve skills through diligent and consistent practice. While they mean well and under the surface they are kind, they can be judgemental.
[ They will push the book closer to him so he can read the in-depth information. ] Sounds like we might have found your sign then, dear. We can pick a date from some where in the range then.
[ They aren't going to make the virgo the virgin jokes like they were originally thinking. Let's not kill the moment ]
[ he starts reading, leaning forward a bit to do so - in the process, the affection week takes natural precedence, and he leans a bit into their shoulder. there's a lot of temenos dragging in this description, but he scans over it, and after a quiet, thoughtful moment, beyond all the joking: ]
[ They have to think about it because the months aren't ones they are immediately familiar with. ]
Autumn counts in the beginning of September I believe. [ From what they read here. ] Is that your favorite season? [ Something between the heat of summer and the cold of winter. There is probably meaning to that, but they aren't going to jump the gun, or bun, until they hear Temenos' answer. ]
temenos's expression softens, just briefly, at the thought. flamechurch is home, and has always been home - it's been a long time since he's been back, now. ] It is. It couldn't be much different than here, to be quite honest. You'd likely get bored.
[ but, ah. as for the date? he hums. ] Eight's a good number. [ octopath traveler joke ] Very well.
Perhaps. [ he chuckles a little - with that, he nudges their shoulders gently. there you go. ] I'll stick with the lion for you, little rabbit. I think it suits you well.
[ They consider it before nudging gently in turn. ] Lions can be quite cute, so I'll accept it. Maybe if you ask nice enough I'll even let you pick a date out in turn. [ Thinking for a moment as they flip to compatibility. ] Earth and fire, hmm? I wonder if that's supposed to mean I make it hot, while you ground me.
[ Pfft they will instead take his hand to hold because it's there and it's affection. ]
A Sacred Flame is something contained, dear. You need something a bit more wild to keep you on your toes. [ Try herding this ] I could always start pinching else where if it'll make you feel better.

and then, temenos puts his hand to his chin. ] Well. It is my job to bring judgement every now and then...
[ it's the title of his latent skill anyway
but apparently he likes this one????? his look has gone more approving. you did good rabbit!! ]

anyway. he taps a fingertip lightly against the book, and for not ruining the moment, rabbit can have a little bit of lore. ]
...Something like that. My hometown is perpetually in autumn - it's something of a feature of the Crestlands.
[ so, it's familiar. ]
September, then.

It sounds like it would be quite lovely to see. [ A place stuck in the fall with all the warm and earthy tones. ] What are your thoughts on the 18th?

You speak as if I wouldn't just make my own fun. [ How boring could it be if Tememnos is there? ]
Then that takes care of that. You can tell people that's your birthday. Maybe we could get a cake later to celebrate.

You can tell me all about it. Please teach me the holy ways, shepherd. [ They will bow their head, but there is a smirk there ]
Then I'll keep doing as I am.

when they bow their head, he reaches over and bonks them with the edge of his free one. bonk. ]
I think there's very little in this world that will stop you from doing as you are, little rabbit.
