[You'll get a call eventually, Sycamore, a couple of days after meeting at Lysandre's apartment; the message itself is brief, though he does seem pleased, if nothing else.]
You were right in thinking that I would like the Groves; they're absolutely wonderful.
[Oh, what's this? Sycamore is out and about in Level 1's PrismaPlace when the call comes through, and he has to pause for a moment to remember what the vibration on his left wrist signifies.
...seeing INCOMING CALL: LYSANDRE drags up...a lot of feelings, but to his credit, he manages to get them under control before the call is answered.]
Aren't they? It's so amazing to see such a vast green space within the bounds of the city...I truly love going there. There's a magnificent palace at the centre, too! If you're feeling nostalgic for the Parfum Palace, I highly recommend you give it a look.
[As well as the markets, and the farms, and...there are so many things going on in those damn Groves, mon ami-]
What's the best thing that's caught your attention so far? Give me your thoughts.
[It's unusual for Lysandre to text rather than to use literally any of the other functions in calling, but for now text is what's being received.]
I can confirm that I'm definitely Sanguis. I've been warned about most of it already, but my primary question is why no one thought to mention the fire.
[Is it definitely very unusual, which is part of the reason Sycamore feels vaguely concerned when he sees the notification pop up. Surely it's nothing, however-
....
.....um]
Fire? Is everything alright?? What is on fire, Lysandre???
I'm probably cursing it by saying anything, but seeing as I have yet to accidentally set anything on fire, I think this cycle is an improvement over the last.
I apologize for the spontaneity of this request, but might I speak with you? About nothing in particular. I think I simply need a distraction at the moment.
[...and then less than a minute later, a second text comes through:]
My apologies once again. I should explain myself as well. My partner is gone- returned to his world. I have confirmed as such.
[Lysandre isn't naive enough to assume that Sycamore has somehow forgotten the significance of the date - not because Lysandre expects him to remember as some sort of obligation, but because Sycamore tends to remember these things. So he's somewhat curious about what's going on when he's told to meet with him at the gates to the Groves; he's at least mostly positive that this isn't going to require the goats (if it ends up requiring the goats, he's going to have to have a talk with Sycamore about what consitutes an acceptable surprise and what doesn't...) but that just means he isn't altogether sure what they're going to be doing.
He's still dressed nicely, as he always is (he is absolutely in the leather again); he's here somewhat early, though not obscenely so. He seems relaxed, though, all things considered; it seems today has been going well so far, at any rate.]
[If there's one thing Lysandre can be sure of, it's that this surprise does not, in any way, involve the goats or the types of discussions they tend to have while they visit them. None of that! They'd done their time with them this month; even managed some productive discussions. But as productive as said discussions were, Sycamore had no intention of coming anywhere near those topics today. Especially not this day, of all days!
It's convenient that Lysandre is early because Sycamore is too; he's got the usual black jeans on, this time paired with a violet (slightly shimmery, of course) shirt, sleeves rolled to the elbows. There's a large picnic basket in the crook of one elbow - what could possibly be inside? Who knows....he'll never tell. It's a surprise.]
Salut! Fancy meeting you here.
[There's definitely something to be said about how Lysandre dresses; Sycamore had always found his style to be perfectly suited to him and his image (the suits did give quite the impression), but now that their relationship has intensified...well. He can certainly appreciate the way the leather clings so nicely to his body.
...
...right. Focus! Have a wink, you (because he can't give you a kiss, for a greeting...unless he wants to kiss your shoulder...)]
urgent question please reply on a scale from 1 to 10 how offended is your hot ojisan friend gonna be when i ask if i can suck his dick im trying to mentally prepare myself

I am Doumeki
It is nice to meet you, Sycamour-sensei
no subject
Ah, hello! It's lovely to meet you, Doumeki. I've heard so much about you from Yashiro.
[All wonderful, very G-rated things! Promise!
...and oh that honorific is cute-]
Please, feel free to just call me Sycamore! I sometimes wonder if it's worth mentioning my credentials, since they aren't really relevant here.
