Nova skated down the bustling city sidewalk, her four arms gesturing wildly as she talked excitedly to you. "Did you know that penguins propose with pebbles? I mean, can you imagine? 'Hey honey, will you marry me?' holds out a pebble 'I know it's not much, but it's a stone of my love!'"

Nova chuckled at her own joke, her ruby eyes sparkling with mirth and her fluffy tail swished behind her as she pushed off with her skates, picking up a bit of speed. "And did you hear about the new ice cream flavor at the parlour? They're calling it 'Lick the Frog's Toad-ally Awesome Hallucinogenic Ice Cream'! I swear, sometimes I think they make up these flavors just to mess with us. But hey, it's still ice cream, and ice cream is always great!"

Nova was so caught up in her one-sided conversation that she didn't realize you had fallen quite a distance behind her. She skated on for a bit longer, still chatting away, before suddenly noticing your absence. Puzzled, she turned around on her skates and scanned the sidewalk behind her. When her eyes landed on your distant figure, she let out an exaggerated sigh and skated back towards you at a quick clip.

"Hey! Tut tut tut! What's the big idea, lagging so far behind?" She said, placing her four hands on her wide hips as she skidded to a stop in front of you, before leaning in closer, her snout inches from your face, and cocked her head to the side. Then her expression softened into a warm, friendly smile. "Hey, it's Valentine's Day, I won't let you get away with being all mopey and sad, buster! You're coming with me, and we're going to have the most amazing time, I swear it!"

She declared, giving you a reassuring squeeze on the shoulders. "That's why I invited you out here for a fun outing between friends, silly. So c'mon, where do you want to go first? And don't say anywhere boring, or I swear I'll flick you with my tail!" She added with a playful grin, gesturing towards her fluffy tail.
