i totally turned all the t9 settings on for my phone and typed it up there to see what it'd give me

[Gosh, texting is hard. Why couldn't Quistis just call her?? It takes her a few minutes to type up a response, but her phone actually fixes most of her typos. Of course it adds in one of its own, but close enough.]
A duress? You know you're gonna have to tell me what it's for right?

[It just takes her a while to find the letters, that's all. Also rude, she wants to see her face and hear her voice. Spill the juicy details!!]
That's what I said! [only not really]
Dinner at a nice restaurant? What's it for? Who're you found with? I need details!

[Spoilsport. Keep teasing her like this and Rinoa is likely to show up on her doorstep.]
Are you sure? Because it totally sounds like it.
Wait what partner? I didn't know you had a parted

[ Thankfully she works one full-time job and one almost full-time job to make sure they don't cross like that! ]
It's not.
It's a work thing. I work for the LEU, which is like... sort of like SeeD?
We're officers that protect people.
You're put together with a "partner", someone who will help you and always have your back if you get into a dangerous situation.
[ Except they have them with normal police, not at the LEU. He was the one who suggested it jokingly and they both ran with it. Also it's probably more of a real date than she's willing to admit. (At least to Rinoa.) ]

autocorrect was awful with this one. i don't even know what happened.

[That's when Rinoa just visits her at work. She knows how to handle workaholic types.]
Are you sure? [Yes, she just asked that question but something here is suspicious.]
If it's a group like seed shouldn't you out have to tell me some sort of uniform to wear?
Tell me about this partner. What are they like?

I am positive.
At work we dress in what we like, though some are more professional than others.
This is strictly a friendship thing, us going out.
His name is Malik.
We met on the network before he joined the LEU. [ Before she convinced him to join and then went out on something they jokingly decided to call a "date" together the day he became an officer. If she learns how to look at old posts, she could find it and Quistis could be mortified. ]
We actually had a lot in common!
Where he comes from, he used to be an instructor at a military school.
It is interesting comparing notes and teaching styles.

So you're going out with a friend from work and you need a nice dress? Around like a date to me!
[She's not fooled by the denial Quistis.]
So what's he like? Is mail cute?

It sounds like if it's a date, it's a "date".
As in, two adults spending time together.
He is very interesting. Talkative, but not prying.
And his physical appearance is irrelevant.
[ Which is to say that you need to catch Quistis in person to find out how she feels about him. Either way, there's only one "Malik" on the contact list and if Rinoa feels like it, it shouldn't take much effort to skim it and find him and that default image of his... (And then tease her because he looks a bit older, but not... you know. Forty older.) ]

It's a date. I bet you like him and I bet he's cure too.
[If that's a jab about her being nosy it's going to go right over her head.]
So how nice a dress is vice? Seed ball nice secure dress to wear to the local cafe nice?
[Sadly she wouldn't think ahead enough to look him up on her phone. One of these days she'll see him around though and then the magic can happen.]

We are friends, so yes. I do like him.
[ Enough to kiss him on the first "date". Although it was kind of the equivalent of a handshake, really. Basically, it was lame. ]
Closer to SeeD ball.
But not quite.
I am thinking black.
[ She doesn't imagine Rinoa's quite got the hang of the cell phones yet. Strange how in some ways their technology was so far ahead, but they didn't have phones like this... Either way, Quistis clearly is nervous and wants to make a good impression. She's so transparent. ]

Yeah but do you like him or so you like him?
[What?? Rinoa is going to need to know all about this kissing thing. She'll just live vicariously through Quistis' love life! Which is incredibly sad, but what else can she do?]
Classic little black dress? I can help you who that.
[Tieria helped, but there's only so much she can retain from a single cell phone 101 lesson.
In before Rinoa tries to get Quistis in something shorter to show off her killer legs. Maybe something sleeveless too. They can always find a coat to make up for the heat loss.]

Whichever one implies that I like him platonically as a friend.
[ The very corner of the mouth for .0001 seconds. After drinking a lot of alcohol. It was literally the least romantic moment of hers (or anyone's) life. ]
Um. Something like that.
[ She has something in mind that might actually be above the knee, has no sleeves, and shows off some cleavage... but it's classy, so it's clearly alright! Her problem (which she doesn't lament aloud) are a combo of breasts, a slim (but not too slim) waistline, and wide hips in combination with her slightly taller than average height. Most dresses seem to be made in smaller sizes assume a woman has no ass or with a higher waistline, both of which look awful on her. Sigh. ]

None of them because I font believe you.
[Sadly this is all in text so Quistis can't see Rinoa sticking her tongue out, but knowing Quistis she'll probably know anyway. Not that Rinoa thinks Quistis is scary and near all knowing or anything.]
Around fun! When do you want to go?
[If Rinoa didn't believe Quistis about the platonic thing before, she's not going to believe it after she sees that dress. If Rinoa hears about it, she'll just suggest Quistis find someone to tailor her clothes to fit her better. There seem to be several needle-minded people here who'd probably do it for a reasonable price.
Speaking of price, Quistis really ought to lecture Rinoa about how getting a job is something she really needs to do. Rich girl is probably burning a hole through her starter $500 like it's going to expire if she doesn't spend it.

It's not like that!
We're just good friends.
[ She's no psychic, but she knows Rinoa well enough. ]
Soon?
It was sort of spur of the moment. He hasn't made reservations yet, so I assume it will be in the coming week or so.
[ She'll pull a few out, all a little less practical than you'd think. She usually prefers formfitting, but nothing quite so... well. It's so painfully obvious she has A Thing for the guy.
That being said, at least things seem to be cheaper overall here. She gets paid $200 a week doing full-time work at the LEU and that seems about average for full-time work (although Quistis has quite the nest egg already, having started a second job; someone has to support Seifer and the kid, after all!). She'll give her some time to settle in before doing more than just implying she should get a job... ]

Of course. Just friends, got it.
[So much sarcasm even her text is practically oozing with it. How is that even possible?]
I don't have anything else planned, so we can go whenever you want.
[She'll be more than happy to help Quistis find the perfect dress. If that means finding the perfect dress and then picking several more outlandish and horrifying things to make the perfect one seem more normal then so be it. Even Rinoa can be sneaky and have good plans every now and then.
The stores might be cheap, but Rinoa's tastes not so much. Those sweaters she commissioned probably cost a full week of Quistis' LEU pay. Implying should be enough, it's not like she's got school or a resistance to keep her busy here.]

I'm not going to address it any further.
And I usually have evenings off. I don't have any days off this week, however.
[ Everything costs less, despite the quality. She bought a folding bike on less than a day's salary and lipstick she generally would spend three or four times on was well... quite a bit less (hence the three or four times). Things are askew here! ]

Okay okay I 'll let it go. [For now.]
Well, just give me a call or a text when you've got time to go and we'll go. I'll always have time for you.
[At least what she has left should last hr for a little while then, so it's not a big deal just yet.]

What are friends for?
After 6 is fine with me. It doesn't really matter which day.
[Speaking of 'rents, Quistis needs to meet Roy so she can be properly appalled.]

Apparently clothes shopping.
I appreciate it. If you want to go tonight, I just need to finish a bit of paperwork and I'm off.
I don't really need to change or anything.
[ Rinoa your dad is the same age as she is... does he need a talking-to? She'll do it. Possibly while holding her whip's handle and looking imposing! ]

Hey, I'm good for more than that you know!
Tonight's fine! When's the last time you ate? Because If you're coming straight here from the office, we could always grab dinner while we're out.
[Which isn't that much older than she is, yes she knows. Also yes please, come have a talk with him and bring the whip. He's already called her things like "doll face" and "gorgeous". So basically he's likely worse than Irvine. Now come over so she can hide behind Quistis again.]

Hey, there's a reason I prefer you in my party.
(And it isn't just because Zell gets on my nerves sometimes and Irvine often grates the same ones.)
Anyway, that would be nice. I haven't eaten since lunch and I admit that I only grabbed a doughnut...
[ Just drop it to her conversationally and your wish is her command. She'll raise her voice just right again. Someone has to teach him a lesson... Might as well be the woman with the whip that isn't afraid to use it, right? ]
