♰ seventh night

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, maybe today wasn't the best time to visit the castle with the threat of castle-induced kisses looming over the horizon. But she wanted to check up on a few people and using the journal seemed kind of impersonal. So here she is, sporting a very pretty dark blue Victorian-styled dress -- sorry boys, no legs today! She has her journal tucked under an arm and pauses to dust some snow off of herself.

A white Christmas, it really was going to be a nice holiday. Hopefully. SO. Before she wanders up to the various rooms she was going to check, she lingers in the lobby for a little while to admire the decorations and warm up a little. So feel free to bump into her in the lobby or in the hallway! ]

[ooc; Planned and unplanned kisses are both welcome.]

Just a friend being an asshole. We worked it out. [Kind of]

Me too. The longer I can go without actually going through any world changes, the better.

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but I'm glad you were able to work it out.

Mm, I agree. Let's just hope we didn't jinx it.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[She guesses well!] Yeah...

[And that's really all Josh has to say about that.]

That couldn't actually happen... right?

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

If you ever need to talk about something, you can find me over the journal.



I'm not sure, but I've found it's always best to expect the unexpected here.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Awkwardly rubs the back of his neck.] Thanks.

[groan] Every time I talk to someone about this place, it seems to get worse.

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

Just keep an eye out for mistletoe and wreathes for the rest of the month.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Oh right!] Yeah, a friend of mine mentioned those last month.

[Glancing around, and seeing neither are actually nearby them.]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

My friends warned me recently, too. So far I've been lucky enough to avoid them.

It probably helps that I chose to live in the city.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

Same with me.

[a beat]

So wait, the city managed to avoid all the decorations?

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, there are decorations. I just think it's easier to avoid them there than it is here.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense. Since there's more space and--

[Oh wait! Yes it is! Was Josh saying something? He forgot, because he's now too busy trying to get rid of that pesky couple feet of space between him and Lenalee]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Mm, there is..

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Well gee, since you put it so convincingly! It's fine if he wraps his arms around her waist while he proceeds to make out with her, right? For that added contact.

Boy is he lucky that her brother isn't at Paradisa right now.]

[Man would that ever suck. It doesn't help that this kiss isn't exactly one of those that seems to happen and then end in a matter of seconds, huh? Maybe the castle's being nice to Josh, since his last kiss as far as he knows was over a year ago... or maybe it's just being cruel and mocking to Lenalee.

Either is totally possible!

And yeaaah, sexy face... touching.]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

.. Eh?

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Kind of surprised by what happened, since it's one thing to be told about it, and another to experience. Still got his arms wrapped around her waist.]

What?

[Give him a second... okay... maybe one more second...

Oh there we go, he seems to be finally be getting it. Slowly removing his arms and holding them up in the air in front of them in a "put your hands in the air where we can see them" kind of way.

See, not touching anymore, it's okay. Don't get upset.]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean--

I'm really sorry, Josh. But I didn't see any mistletoe..

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't giggle! ... He snickers. It's so much more mature]

What?

[Yes Josh, repeat what you already said, that's intelligent.]

No, don't apologize! I didn't--

["Mind at all". No wait, don't say that! Just drop the subject and help her figure out what did it.]

Uh...

Yeah, no... me either. That's... kind of weird.

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Kind of. But I still want to apologize!



Lavi warned me about it, maybe I should have waited to visit the castle.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[!! B(]

Don't worry about it. I'm not upset.

[Aw... Lenalee... you're one of those super innocent types, aren't you? JOSH WILL BE NICE BY NOT LOOKING AMUSED AT YOUR EMBARRASSMENT, he's just that nice of a guy.]

It lasts all month though. That would have been a long time to avoid this place.

[slight pause before he realizes.]

Oh! I should actually, probably apologize myself about this whole thing...

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Even so!



Mm, maybe you're right. I'll just have to be a bit more careful next time.



Oh, no, it's fine. Neither of us had any control over it. I'm not upset either.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

You sure? You seem kind of flustered about the whole thing.

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Maybe a little, but..



It was my first.
