It's a uh, romantic holiday. It varies a lot in how people celebrate it, but it can be cute. A lot of it is giving chocolate to the people you like.

[reaches out to a display and picks up a gold-wrapped box, interested]

I see... It all looks very nice. How did it start?

The proper name is Saint Valentine's Day, so I think it grew off of a feast-day? But it's been around for like, actual centuries now.

Seems nice.

Right? Every holiday's got someone who takes it way too serious or commercializes over the top, but it's hard to go wrong with "hey give a card to someone special."

[curious]

Cards too... What's considered a good gift?

Uh... Honestly, I've only really sent valentines to my mom, but I think like, personalization is key? Handmade stuff, or making sure you get their favorite kind if you get them chocolate and flowers, or going on a date somewhere you both like.

[smiles a bit]

That makes sense.

Yeah. It can be small stuff, but you wanna make the other person feel special.
