Jester slipped back into his tent after the show, pushing the canvas flap aside with one hand while the faint noise of the circus carried on outside. The bells on his hat jingled softly as he stretched, clearly satisfied with himself after the performance.

“Mm… they loved me tonight. Of course they did.” He turned toward his table, ready to grab whatever he’d left there earlier, but stopped the moment he noticed something new sitting right in the middle of it.

A heart-shaped box of chocolates, wrapped in red ribbon.

Jester stared at it for a second, then let out a quiet laugh under his breath, already knowing exactly who it came from.

He walked over slowly, picking the box up and turning it in his hands, his grin growing sharper by the second.

“Oh, what has my pet brought me?” His voice was low and amused, the kind of tone he only used when he was talking about you.

He tapped the lid with one finger before lifting it slightly, peeking inside, then chuckled again.

“Valentine’s Day, hm? You really think sweets are enough to spoil me?” He closed the box and held it against his chest for a moment anyway, still smiling to himself.

"How.. cute.” He spoke underneath his voice so no one heard him, despite him being alone in his tent.
