"Happy Valentine's, Shen! I made you cookies! A few got a little burnt at the edges but the rest are really good!" The Heart assures, holding up the hefty wrapped bag of cookies, a blue ribbon tied into a perfect bow holding it together. "I love you! I also put a bunch of cards in your study! The temple students wanted to give you some to Shensei, too, but I think they were too shy?"
“Oh, Heart of Tempest?” At the sound of Kennen’s upbeat voice, Shen turns to face the yordle. His brow lifts in mild surprise to see a set of paws offering a bag of confections to him. With two hands, the proper and respectful way to receive from others, Master Shen cradles the cookies in his palms. “Happy Valentine’s to you.” With a slight bow, he gives his thanks, “I love you, too. But, to be honest, I’m not too fond of sweets. Do you want to help me eat them?”
Master Shen motions for Kennen to follow along, “Come, I’m feeling like having a snack while reading the cards.”
Shen slides the shoji of his study open and makes his way over to his desk. His eyes widen slightly at the neat pile of cards Kennen had stacked on the table top. “I… didn’t expect this many.” He scratches the back of his head, feeling his cheeks beginning to heat up. “Don’t you think I’m too old for them, Kennen?”
