1. "Apollo & Sphene, Valentione's in Ishgard, 1581" (written in clean, compact penmanship) Apollo and Sphene, the former in a blue canvas jacket and leather cap, the latter in a pastel yellow sweater and green scarf, standing in front of the fountain in Empyreum (which has been decorated for Valentione's Day), smiling and making hearts with their hands towards the camera.

2. "black cat + onyx shade, headed 2 studio bee-4" (written in messy, crooked handwriting) Fray (in his usual black leather jacket and turtleneck getup) and Yaana (in her black croptop and pink poofy jacket) standing each with their hands on their hips (with one of Fray's wrapped around Yaana's waist) as they smirk defiantly at the camera.

3. "Alisaie Leveilleur and Diana Celeris, enjoying their tour of the Sharlayan homeland in the Moon of Menphina, in the Fifteen Hundred and Eighty-First Year of the Sixth Astral Era" (written in very formal calligraphy) Alisaie (in a red denim jacket) and Diana (in a red leather jacket and black plaid skirt) smiling at the camera as Alisaie stands in front of Diana and Diana puts her hand on Alisaie's shoulder.

4. "last day together" (written in pen somewhat simply and uncarefully) Elidibus standing in a garden in Elpis, smiling at the camera with a nervous but happy expression (half obscured by his Convocation mask) as he rubs his left arm. There's a noticeable negative space to his left.

For some, Valentione's Day is a celebration. For others, an excuse to party, or to have a quiet night with their beloved.

For others, it's a time of mourning.

Fray and Yaana in the Arcadion greenroom, having their picture taken by a couple of journalists. Fray is wearing a black suit and slacks with an open white undershirt beneath the open black jacket. Yaana is wearing a black dress with a slit revealing her leggings and thighboots.They have their hands on their hips while the opposite arm is wrapped around each other, Yaana's around Fray's thigh while Fray's hand rests on her upper arm. The two are looking at each other and smiling.

A portrait angle of the previous shot, showing their outfits in full.

The Black Cat being the first victim of the Onyx Shade's winning streak made the crowds think there'd be a rivalry happening.

Turns out that the gossip mags had their own prediction come true for once.

Fray and Yaana eating in an outdoors restaurant in Tuliyollal, with Fray holding a taco and smiling at Yaana, while Yaana's very excited to have a plate of tacos for the first time.

Fray, in his black-and-gold electrope Arcadion armor, looking down on Yaana as he scratches his cheek and smiles with a strong blush. Yaana has her arms crossed and is looking back up at him with a smirk. In the background, the other non-Heavyweight fighters are reminiscing and laughing with each other, potentially giggling about Fray and Yaana's relationship.

#7.4spoiler #7.4spoilers embargo's up for most of the world so uhhhh okay *this* was supposed to be the official "fray and yaana are dating" post but after i made i realized the background image is, like. pretty spoilerific. so i held off until now.

Apollo and Sphene at the Xbalyav Ty'e restaurant in Tuliyollal. Sphene is in a simple black t-shirt while Apollo wears a turquoise button-up shirt and black jeans. The two are looking at each other and smiling as Apollo has one arm around Sphene's shoulder.

Fray and Yaana at Tritails Training in Solution Nine. The two are sparring together, with Fray (in his leather jacket and gloves) smirking at his partner.

Ardbert in Yak T'el, near Iq Br'aax, in his padded warrior coat and spiked gloves. He's running away in terror from a massive morbol charging at him through the jungle.

Date night for Apollo and Sphene is VERY different than date night for Fray and Yaana.

It's even more different for Ardbert, who has now got himself a date with a chirurgeon with a poor sense of smell.
