[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!]

[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.]

[healedbythelight]

[Cheria starts the moment she hears those footsteps, but the turning of the doorknob really sends her jumping back. In a fit of panic she does the first thing that pops into her head. That is, to dart away from the door and further into the hallway, away from the living room and its mistletoe.]
