♰ 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.]

Mm, there is..

[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.

[Oh wait...]

[helynge.livejournal.com]

... Really?

[/FEELS LIKE A TOOL]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Really, there wasn't any time for things like that back home.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

... Really?

[Okay Josh, stop sounding incredulous and just apologize for stealing the poor girl's first kiss]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

It's fine! It's probably better that way.

My brother can be a little intimidating.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[...]

Intimidating how?

[Picturing some huge, 6'5" brick all of a man.]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

He can just be a little overprotective sometimes.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

Is he... here?

[Because that would just be Josh's luck]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

He's been here before, but he isn't now.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Does he look visibly relieved? Because he kind of is.]

Oh uh... sorry about that?

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it, okay?

[helynge.livejournal.com]

I'm not. I just thought, since he's your brother and all...

[Okay, no, he was obviously kind of worried.]
