[Why are they closing the door to replace a lightbulb? That seems awfully suspicious to Cheria. You can bet she'll be eavesdropping.]

[ledbythewind]

[And as soon as that door is shut, he's going to be getting straight to the point.]

Asbel, haven't you noticed something odd about the doorway lately?

[drawnbythesword]

Huh...? [The doorway?] ...What does the doorway have to do with a lightbulb...?

[ledbythewind]

Surely you didn't think I actually asked you in here to help with a lightbulb.

[That's what Isamu is for.]

[drawnbythesword]

[Well, actually, he did.]

Then why did you?

[healedbythelight]

[Yes, Richard, why did you? Cheria is very curious to find out, especially after what she saw during that draft.]

[ledbythewind]

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!]

[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.]
