found a girl i wanted to date
Friend of a friend's always a good place to start with new acquiantances, Fiora figures. It's a best-laid recommendation once removed, or something like that, and she's always been one game for a little bit of "or something like that" from time to time.
And Linkle? She's great. Plucky, and goofy, and a little absentminded, which Fiora has come to expect from anyone who gets stuck with, well, equally-plucky but twice-as-intense Fiora. It's thrilling!
She can just dream of all the fun things they'll do together, all the places they'll see, and all the (silly) (bird-brained) surprises along the way.
