♰ 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.]

Kind of. But I still want to apologize!



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

[!! 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.

1/2

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[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.]

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

You're not very good at lying.



But considering the fact that I didn't see any mistletoe or wreathes, it must be something else this year.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[Aha... He won't say anything more about that.]

I think it changes every year, or something like that...

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

I should have known..



Again, I'm sorry for that. We're always meeting under strange circumstances.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

Hey it's fine. This is a lot better than getting stuck out in the Dead Zone again.

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Mm, I can agree with that much.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

Right.

[pause]

So I should probably leave you to what you were doing, and uh... wish you luck with avoiding any other... whatevers?

[crystalize.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was just going to visit a few of my friends..



Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to move. I hope you can avoid them, too, Josh.

[helynge.livejournal.com]

[nodding.]

Have a good visit, I guess. [Waving as he walks off then! GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LENALEE]
