Do you remember what I told you about that particular plant last Christmas?

[drawnbythesword]

[Something about Mistletoe. But... what? What was it?]

...Not really.

[healedbythelight]

[...

Richaaard! Are you trying to get Asbel under the mistletoe yourself?!]

[ledbythewind]

[Oh Asbel. Richard has to shake his head.]

The tradition goes that if two people end up under the mistletoe together, they're supposed to kiss. Do you remember it now?

[drawnbythesword]

[...Oh.

That's a massive blush forming on his face. Looks like he remembers now.]

[ledbythewind]

I thought you might. Now, have you noticed anything else unusual today?

[drawnbythesword]

[Uhh...]

[ledbythewind]

[Asbel, please give him a LITTLE hope here.]

[drawnbythesword]

[N O P E]

[ledbythewind]

Don't you think Miss Cheria was acting slightly odd?

[drawnbythesword]

Eh? Well... [He did think there was something slightly odd about her behavior, but...]

[ledbythewind]

Think about it for a moment, Asbel.

[... okay so that's probably not the smartest thing he has ever said, but.]

[drawnbythesword]

[Insert jeopardy theme here]

[ledbythewind]

She bumped into you in the doorway.

[Please say you can put two and two together now.]

[drawnbythesword]

...And? [Richard, what are you driving at here?]

[ledbythewind]

... and that mistletoe is in the doorway.

[healedbythelight]

[Ahh, Richard what are you doing?! If you warn Asbel, he'll make sure to avoid the doorway and her plan will be ruined!]

1/2

[drawnbythesword]

[The mistletoe's by the doorway... And Cheria bumped into Asbel there... Cheria bumped into Asbel under the mistletoe...

...

...

...Oh.]

[drawnbythesword]

[Oh! Well, now he's embarassed again.]

[ledbythewind]

[Good boy, Asbel.]

So do you understand now?

[drawnbythesword]

[Nodding quickly. Yeah, he understands. Even if he's currently having a brain failure.}

[ledbythewind]

Then you know what you need to do next.

[drawnbythesword]

Y... Yeah. [Even though he's unsure.]

[ledbythewind]

[Good boy, Asbel. He's just going to start steering you towards the door now!]

[drawnbythesword]

[Wait what are you--oh, you're leading him towards the door.

Watch out, Cheria, because that doorknob is turning now.]
