[ The sound of Diluc's laugh is pleasant and delightful, and Ori finds herself smiling all the more when she hears it. She can't help but think it to be so special, and already she's hoping that she can give him more reasons to laugh, no matter how small or quiet they may be.

She's entirely unsurprised when she realizes that the reason for his laughing has to do with Thoma, though, with the way he so unapologetically brings joy into both of their lives. Not for the first time tonight, Ori is so thankful to be with these two - and honestly, that none of them have been pigeonholed into acting out some grand theatrical love by someone else's bidding for this production.

She much more prefers the romance they share as themselves. It may not be an incredible tale or an epic romance, but it's special and it's theirs and there hasn't been a single moment since it began that Ori has taken it for granted. ]

That's such a thoughtful idea! And it'll be a great surprise. He'll be so delighted when he finds out.

[ She nods enthusiastically. ]

You can leave all the preparations to me!
