[Erza's been back in Luceti for a few days, but she's still adjusting to the situation that the Malnosso had left her in. Somehow, they had deactivated her magical artificial eye, leaving her unable to see anything to the right of her without turning.]

[Still, she's back just in time for the annual Valentine's experiment - the one time that she feels that she can talk about romance without being all awkward about it. If anything goes wrong somehow, she can just blame it on the experiment and move on, so that helps.]

I have a very important question - how do you tell someone that you're in love with them? I must know! [For dramatic effect, she gestures with her arm... and knocks a framed picture off of the table. Stupid lack of vision. Still, she tries to press onwards.] It's not urgent - the person isn't here at the moment - but it's still something that I think I should know how to do. [In all likelihood, she's probably just over-complicating the concept - it wouldn't be the first time.]

[ oh, she's read enough romance movie scripts to know the answer to this. love counsellor mei to the rescue! ]

Well... It kind of depends, I guess! Are you friends with them, or did you just see someone you like?

We were friends when we were younger. ...Well, we still are, but it's become fairly complicated since then.

Hm... In that case, you should first try and sort out whatever's making it complicated, if you can. Just confessing out of the blue when there's conflict between two people is a recipe for trouble!

That would be fairly difficult, but I'll try. ...It's just that he can't remember anything that happened to him prior to a couple of days before I came here - there's got to be some kind of magic that cures amnesia, or maybe his memories will return on their own.

[ she nods. ] Just keep trying! I promise things will get better as long as you don't give up.

But when he gets his memories back... Well, that's the hard part. Do you think he likes you back?

I'd like to think so, but I'm not sure. [Though Erza's usually quite confident, she tends to lose a lot of that confidence whenever the topic of romance comes up - besides, the last time she saw Jellal when he wasn't possessed or amnesiac was when they were kids.] We seemed to have some sort of connection last time I saw him; I'll just have to hope that he still feels that way when he remembers everything.

[ that's to be expected, of course. Mei is the same - she gets significantly more shy when she talks about boys she likes, but she's happy to try and help. who knows romance better than a teenage girl, after all? (everyone) ]

You should try and spend some time together when he gets his memory back - you know, catch up and get closer. Once you're there, you confess!

DECLARE IT BOLDLY! SHOUT YOUR HEART'S SONG TO THEM FROM A PROPER DISTANCE!

[Just... give her a second to process that.] ...I'd rather not make it into a huge scene - what if he turns me down?

Well... If you can accept such heartbreak with dignity, you will appear to be all the stronger! Not to mention, you can assure all around you by vowing to earn his affections over time!

I guess... I mean, we have known each other for a while - I suppose earning it over time, if necessary, shouldn't be an issue.

I see. This is someone you already know. How long have you yearned for him?

It depends on the type of person, some prefer it some way while others prefer it another.

Of course. It's just that, given everything that's happened, I don't know which way he'd prefer it.

Has it been a long time since you've seen him?

Um.. I-I know it can be difficult, but.. can't you just tell them right away? Or if it's scary, you can always leave them a note or write them a letter..

I can try, I suppose... It would probably be easier to do that if he was here, but if he does show up, I suppose a note might work. [It probably would have made it easier for the people trying to help her if she explained some of the issues in their relationship (he has amnesia, he's a wanted criminal, etc.), but that would likely just make her sound crazy.]

Well, when you go back home you can do it! [ she's fairly optimistic, either way - both in general and about this. ]

You'll only have to wait a little while.

Just tell them. Otherwise the two of you will end up dancing around each other forever and never actually get anywhere.

[Like two certain other people he knows...]

That's my problem - I don't know what to say. The last time I saw him, he couldn't remember anything about himself, so if I confessed to him out of the blue, it might make the situation worse.

I suggest telling him, probably alone if you are the shy type. Not that I'm in a position to pass on advice currently.
