The full moons are tomorrow, on the 9th.

[Nobody else has ever had to consult their notes before a date before. Connor is intrigued.]

If you want to go for a meal, I wouldn't mind. We can talk while you eat.

[They've done it before, though the circumstances were very different.]

[Just that his magic is shit during full moons and if he wants to at least try to make this enjoyable he's going to need a bit of magic.

That's his excuse anyway.]

Eh, only if it's like a tiny part of it. Maybe a picnic would be better. Ever gone camping in winter Connor? [...] Wait, forget I said that. You probably haven't.

[Connor just smiles to himself at the slip.]

I haven't. I'd like to, though.

[It sounds like fun.]

There's a park nearby. Not many people will be there, since the weather isn't very nice. We could have a picnic there?

[Hank will probably need to keep the rain off them, because Connor doesn't plan on spontaneously growing a tail mid-date. He can at least use his own magic to dry the grass before they sit on it.]

[He'd like it. Music to his ears, at least now he has a goal in mind.]

Well usually you build a pretty damn huge fire. That's where the picnic comes in. Roasting marshmallows while you are freezing your ass off. Part of the fun.

[It's a camping type of fun.]

There's also ice fishing...I'm sure there's a few lakes frozen enough for that.

I think you're just looking for excuses to set things on fire now.

[He seems amused by it, though.]

We can wait until after the full moons. I'm looking forward to it already.

[It's nice to have something to look forward to now.]

What? No. No. [Briefly he grins.] Well maybe, yeah. But shit, I used to go on campfire picnics all the time, Connor. Pretty sure we can find some pine trees somewhere and I can make myself some snowshoes with it.

[Don't judge him. Or please do.]

Right full moons. [Hank always had trouble with the fact there was two. Just like sometimes he forgot that Connor was an android. Such was life. Although now he felt pressure to make it good.]

Alright. Well lunch and ice fishing sounds like a good time.

[He can almost forget this was asked for Valentine's day. Almost.]

[Almost, but not quite, because Connor is about to remind him.]

You typically give each other gifts for Valentine's Day too, right?

[He's just making sure he's got this right. It's important that he does it properly.]

[CONNOR. WHY. Hank's about to retort with a 'don't you have that in your thousand of bytes of memory in there about traditions' but keeps that comment to himself and just scuffs briefly.]

Depends on how you feel, yeah. Sometimes the date is the gift.

[What the hell could he even give Connor?]

[Connor nods thoughtfully.]

I'll see what I can do.

[He likes giving gifts to people, he's found.]

Thank you for agreeing to this. We'll have a good time.
