[ jude isn't sure he's ever been to a festival; not like this, in any case. his hair is combed neatly again and his lab coat is back in his apartment. instead, he's wearing an older outfit he happened to keep around, along with a scarf to add a little extra warmth to it.
he invited 9s as soon as he heard about sunsu. another date. and to think that the festival celebrates romance in particular... well, just the idea makes jude warm all over. they've been on dates, of course, but this just feels like a special kind of date, something one of a kind.
he has the gifts he had made 9s prepared, too: a pink beanie, a thick, light pink scarf with a little kitten design sewn into it, and a pair of pink mittens. he had knit things for quite a few of his friends, but 9s' took the longest, because jude needed to get them just right, needed them to be perfect. he knew 9s would be happy if jude gave him mere scraps of yarn, but jude really wanted to surprise him. and perhaps his present won't be useful to 9s; he can regulate his body heat, after all, and he's been walking around in those shorts... in all seriousness, it's a ridiculous combo, but jude's gifts were made with all the care in the world.
so, when jude is all set, carrying his presents in a bag with a big red bow on it, jude jogs toward their designated meeting place, raising his free hand up and waving when he catches sight of 9s in the mob of festival goers. ]
