[ Oh my god??? This is the least-subtle string of texts he has ever received in his life. Even for Declan “what is love” Steelsong, he knows when he’s been set up.
Juniper!!!
He’s going to take a walk through Dodo House to Juni’s room and knock on the door. :) ]
Junebug? Are you in? It’s Uncle Dee. I was wondering if you might be able to give me a hand with something.
[ Juniper is in the middle of responding to V when she hears that knocking on her door, and she freezes in her seat. She clears her throat and tries her best approximation of her roommates' voices - they're both tall, dark and grumpy men, so - deep is the attempt being made. ]
J—Juni is busy!
[ wAIT, NO. HE'S KNOCKING ON HER DOOR! To her rOOM! Not to the suite! ]
Shoot! Haha, just kidding! I'm here, Uncle Dee! The door's not locked, please come in!
[ One of her suitemates probably let her in ssssh don’t ask. Anyway, she probably realizes that the jig is up since he’s here (and she’d trying to put on a voice to throw him off), so he pushes open the door to step inside. ]
Sorry to disturb you. I just got this peculiar little survey on my phone, and I was wondering if you might help me fill it out.
[ Her hand lifts to bashfully scratch at the base of an ear. Though she's not quite felt the same sort of loneliness that Declan has, being so surrounded by guardians and other adventurers at the guild house...
There's a different sort of loneliness that comes with feeling like she dwells between two realms, that sprouts from the way the Feywild haunts her and bids her to return, as if to make itself out to be her true home, to make her feel like she doesn't truly belong with the Alchemighty. She hadn't known - until Declan told her to follow her heart - how she could ever escape that loneliness. But Declan's, she can help with. He's such an amazing person, who wouldn't feel so lucky to be able to befriend him the way she's been able to? ]
I hoped you'd get to meet lots of people and have fun outside of the house on a date!
I thought you might have been annoyed with me for signing you up...
But I'm really happy to hear that you really did have fun! Going on dates sounds like fun, like their own little adventures, but all I really want is for you to get to smile and laugh a lot, Uncle Dee...!
[ Uwah, the candy looks so colorful and yummy! As she peers down into the bag in her palm, she realizes... Wait, V mentioned that they went to a candy place during their date, so - oh, was he thinking of her even while on his adventure? Weh... ]
Wait, did you get me this on your date? Ahh... Thanks, Uncle Dee. You really didn't have to, but I'm so honored! And I promise to keep making you smile and laugh without needing to sign you up for random dates without your consent from now on...!
[ she sent him the wholeass survey also... But while Declan was the focus of said survey, she was of course glad to hear that V had fun, too! They are both precious to her, after all..!! ]

O-Oh!? You know that I'm no good at these kinds of things, though... You might get a bad grade on the survey!
[ :c ]
no subject
[ That is actually not untrue. How do feelings. ]
The funny thing is, I don’t remember signing up for a matchmaking service.
no subject
You went on a date!? With V!? I had no idea! And I definitely don't know how any of this could have happened, either!
no subject
[ You know the jig is really up when he stops calling her "Junebug". ]
Did you sign me up for this?
no subject
...
I had good intentions!!
no subject
And what intentions were those?
no subject
Um, well...

But he gets the feeling, as he watches her fiddle and look for an explanation, that he's giving her the wrong impression. ]
... I'm not upset at you, you know. And you're not wrong, I did have fun.
no subject
[ She releases such a big sigh of relief. ]

[ And he did get a nice date out of it, he supposes, even if there were some moments of awkwardness to be had. ]
You silly goose, I smile and laugh plenty, thanks to you! Oh, I got you something by the way.
[ He dips into a pocket, coming up with a small bag of brightly-colored candy, which he offers over to her. ]

Junebug… you’ve been texting V, haven’t you?
no subject
Um! Maybe a little bit!
[ she sent him the wholeass survey also... But while Declan was the focus of said survey, she was of course glad to hear that V had fun, too! They are both precious to her, after all..!! ]
It sounds like he had a great time, too.
no subject
... He did?
no subject
He did! He even rated it—
[ Oh... Now she's turning a bit red, too. Because. ]
S-Six... six chilli pepper mochis...!
[ emojis... ]
no subject
But this time she’s lost him. ]
Six what now? Is that good?
no subject
[ Her face is just as red as said chili pepper mochis. ]
H-He thought the date was incredibly... s-spicy..!
no subject
[ Apparently now it's a contest to see whose blushing can put the chili pepper mochis to shame the most. ]
We didn't— we barely held hands!
no subject
Barely!? But he said your fingers were laced together! That it made his heart skip a beat! A-And wanted to kiss but lost his nerve...!!
[ The way that these are the things she has a pinpoint-accurate memory of..!! Sorry!!! ]
no subject
[ he is rEACHING FOR JUNI'S PHONE ]
Let me see that!!
no subject
[ she GASPS AND HOLDS HER PHONE OUT AND AWAY!! ]
U-Uncle Dee, you can't! You mustn't see this data or else I'll be violating the Hippopotamus Oath!!
no subject
You and I both know that you haven’t made any oaths to any hippopotami!
[ Whatever that means! ]
