IC Inbox - Mask Or Menace

Hello? Right - yes - sorry, you've reached my voicemail. I'm not here at the moment. Or I am here, but am very busy. If this is about a case, please leave all your details and I will get back to you as soon as possible, though I might be there already.
beep!
JABBERSESES
[ Owain sobs and staggers back with a hand over his heart. He uses the other to clutch the desk he's sitting in front of, and loudly screams LUCINA because he needs a hug. She doesn't come, so she must be out. That makes him sob even louder. ]
I love you! I love you, okay?! You're smart and you're funny and I don't really understand you and that makes me love you even more! I'm sorry that you think I'm scary! I'm sorry that I haven't gone out of my way to prove to you that I'm not scary, but I kind of liked the whole intimidation thing I had going on?! Nobody's ever intimidated by me! I love you and you're my friend! I LOVE YOU AND YOU'RE MY FRIEND!!!

[Dirk stares at the camera, completely wide eyed, making a very surprised face.]
Um
That's
The nicest thing anyone has said to me, ever.
I knew you were nice and not actually scary, I called it.

... This is unacceptable.
[ If loud, panicked screaming is the nicest thing anyone's ever-- no. No, no. This is unacceptable. ]
We're going out. You and me. Right now. What do you like? Books? Music? Punching? We're going to spend the day together, and we're going to get to know each other, and we're going to become very close by doing all of the things you love and finding common ground between ourselves, and then I'm going to tell you I love you again, and you're going to say, "you know what? After today, I think I love you too!", and then we'll hold hands and we won't kiss but we'll definitely cuddle.
What about food? What food do you like? We'll find food.
no subject
[This sounds like an adventure!! He's in!! And hopefully no one will even die!!]
I am not a very big fan of punching, no, but I do like music. I wanted to be in a band, once, for a few seconds, but I've never actually played an instrument? So that would be a silly thing to do. [He just seems to happily glaze over when Owain talks about kissing and cuddling and things, mostly because it's just so far outside his realm of experience that he assumes Owain is kidding.]
Food? Um - I like lots of different kinds of food. I like pancakes and pickles and drinks with little umbrellas in them - (that counts, right?) - and mango pastries and donuts--
