Ah, from the rest I can gather what this means. This is very kind of you, Captain Andor!

( until he says just call him Cassian, Captain Andor... it is... )

I see mention of a dating system — considering a calendar system, would that be something you're willing and capable of doing? I'd love to see a collected calendar that allows a comparison of the different systems each of us here is used to, overlayed with each other.

[ouzel]

[ After he worked SO HARD to seem anonymous. Victor, you are darling and Cassian is facepalming.

Oh well. ]

Thank Yuuri.

Willing, yes, capable, depends.

[genice]

( He has a lot of respect for you Cassian... but if you want discretion for this, ask for it! Or else find the Russian plays a very selective sort of "spy." )

Ah, has he been part of the inspiration? Certainly, I'll make sure to thank him properly.

I'm afraid I have little idea of what capabilities would be necessary! On the most basic, selfish level, I'd simply like a calendar helping me track what time would be moving like if I were at home.

[ouzel]

[ Some things seem silly to ask for after the fact, and it's like when Marco used his first name in his previous post; not the end of the world by far.

Besides he knows nothing about Russian spies. ]

It was, in fact, his idea.

I would need a basic calendar for the system, for starters.

[genice]

( C'est la vie! But all the better, for clashing cultures and expectations, that they all still try to circumvent those to work together and get along. )

One of many reasons why he's as loveable as he is.

I have the basic calendar. It's based on a three year 365 day rotation, 24 hours to a day, 7 days to a week, roughly 4 weeks to a month, 12 months to a year. Every fourth year gains an extra day to make up for the rotational difference in not following a lunar calendar. I can have that all written up and forwarded to you if that's what you need.

( actually Victor why are you telling Cassian that Yuuri's loveable when you have yet to directly tell Yuuri this

oh right

because you think Yuuri already knows )

[ouzel]

Having it written would be better, thank you. Then I can have Kay help me compute it against any other calendars I receive.

How long have you and Yuuri been together?

[ He's assuming, but. Loveable. ]

[genice]

Oh? It's hard to say officially... in an effort to not wax poetic here, I'll say it was his idea to exchange rings right before the big competition we were both taken away from. The engagement was a surprise to me, too! A happy one! The things he's capable of are amazing, truly.

I'll get that write-up to you and Kay by the end of the day. Thank you again! You're invaluable.

( Victor is so happily, blindly in love. This is a large part of why he'd been so heartbroken when he arrived; first for leaving Yuuri to face the competition he'd promised to guide him through on his own. Then as the reality sunk in, never getting to see him again, never seeing any of the people or places that were so much a part of his life he hadn't even realised how much there was to miss until there was no option to see them at all... well. It's hardly unique here. It'd still been painful. (Still is, too.) But he has Yuuri. He has no idea how, he's not questioning the why. He has this second chance to stay by his side, and he's not throwing that away for anything. )

[ouzel]

That sounds very special.

You're welcome! I don't know about invaluable but I am glad to help.

[genice]

It is. I'm incredibly grateful.

I think that says enough right there, doesn't it? You're willing, able, and acting. That's invaluable.

( he means it literally; there is no value to put on that kind of willingness to take action and follow through. )

[ How to accept a compliment if you are Cassian Andor.

Step one: read and re-read.

Step two: frown in a mix of confusion and honor.

Step three: ??? ]

Thank you.

[genice]

You're welcome.
