23 blueprints -- dictated/action

[There's a soft, deep humming of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas coming from the kitchen, coupled with a delicious aroma of gingerbread cookies. Inside, Ted, appropriately dressed in an apron and with some kitchen gloves, takes out a tray full of misshapen cookies. Undeterred by their unfortunate looks, he continues to hum as he places it on some hot pads, then turns around and takes out another two trays, one at a time.

He takes off his gloves and deeply inhales the scent, giving a refreshed and satisfied sigh. Give him a few more moments, and he'll have a plate full of cookies in his hands as he steps into the lobby. Actually, he has the plate in one hand and a half-eaten cookie in the other.]

Anyone want some gingerbread cookies? I swear, they taste so much better than they look.

To be fair, I did cheat a little. Didn't exactly come up with the recipe on my own.

And by that, I mean I totally asked the castle for a good recipe.

[He smiles at her.]

Don't think we've met. Or at least, not in person. [He offers a hand.] Name's Ted.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what you did to secure a good recipe. [She grins.] Promise.

No, I don't think we have. We've spoken over the journal maybe. [She takes the offered hand, shakes it.] Good to meet you, Ted. I'm Vivian.

It's nice to meet you, Vivian.

[He recedes his hand, picking up the half-eaten cookie he'd momentarily set on the plate in favor of the handshake.]

So, how are you enjoying the holidays?

[Vivian finishes off the cookie she has in her other hand before replying to Ted. She's debating on whether to pick another one.]

They're good, yeah. I'm looking forward to Christmas itself too. How about yourself?

Well, if my cooking gingerbread cookies is any indication...

[A bit of a chuckle. He then notices her yearning eyes.]

Go on, help yourself! I've got another two batches in the kitchen.

It gave it away a little.

[She laughs.]

Really? Thanks, Ted. That's really kind of you.

[With that, she lifts about three more cookies, not noticing the fairies floating nearby.]

[Icon face.]

Uh-oh.

Uh, you might want to uh. Leave.

[Puzzled look.]

Wait, why would I want to leave?

I only just got here.

Um, just. Just take my word for it.

[Casually pushing her away with his one hand roflasdj all the meanwhile he's carefully looking at the fairies hovering behind Vivian.]

Hey- [She protests when he begins to push her away, just as she's sprinkled with some fairy dust.]

Say, Ted, did anyone ever tell you that you've got nice eyes?

[ffffffffffffffffudgsicles.]

Uh, yeah, plenty of people, but--

[And that same faerie blows a bunch of dust into Ted's face before he can even protest.]

... yours are gorgeous...

So I've been told. [She grins as she steps closer, bringing a hand up to brush her fingers down his cheek.]

I never noticed yours until now.

[And Ted's hand comes up almost unconsciously to settle against Vivian's hip.]

Better late than never...

[And he's going to close the distance to intimately kiss her.]

[That doesn't bother her at all. In fact, it only makes her move closer still.]

Yeah...

[Anything else she would have said is cut off by the press of his lips against her as Vivian slides the hand on his cheek into his hair, deepening the kiss.]

[And he'll go right along with it!

Well, until the dust wears off.

And then he's just going to kind of pause mid-kiss like WOT.....]

[It's not long until it wears off for her and Vivian pulls away when he pauses, blinking a little at him.

Just give her a moment or two, Ted.

Okay, maybe three...]

So, uh...

[awkward small talk, go]

Hhhow'd you like the cookies?

The cookies were good, really nice.

[As for the kiss? Well, it wasn't bad either.]

Unexpected, but nice. [Okay, perhaps referring to the kiss.]

[..oh, Ted likes where this is going, and he's not even under the effects anymore.

well, he could be. let's just say he is.]

Maybe you'd like another?]

[There's a half-smile on her face as Vivian contemplates another kiss.]

Another cookie? ['cookie' could be the new code word for kiss now, yep. it's open for his interpretation.]

That's what I said.

[He's not making an obvious movements to offer her another cookie, suggesting that, yes, cookie is very much the code word for kiss.]

Okay then.

[It's clear to her now what he meant and Vivian leans in, brushing her lips against his before making the kiss more firm and sliding a hand into his hair.]

[Ted just sort of sliiiides those cookies off to the side on a conveniently placed table, returning the kiss with growing passion. Damn, it's been way too long since he's kissed. And it hardly matters to him that Vivian might as well be a stranger.

"Might as well be" and not "is", because he knows her name, and clearly that means they're not strangers anymore. She's definitely not not a stranger because they swapped spit or anything.]

[Well, she had kissed a couple of people because of the fairies and their magic dust. But this kiss was of her own free will and Vivian wasn't quite sure what to make of that. Screw it, she wasn't going to think about that now. Vivian returns the passion with equal fervour, winding her free arm around his neck to pull herself closer.

It's true that she doesn't know that much about Ted, other than he's a friend of Barney's and well, she shouldn't be thinking about him either. So Vivian doesn't. She just focuses on the kiss, remembering to breathe.]

[When Vivian backs away for a moment, he takes that moment to break away as well to speak with a breathless, sort of exhilarated tone.]

You're a really good kisser.

[And then he comes back for more, and, oh, maybe they shouldn't be on display in the lobby like this?? Yeah, he'll just be guiding Vivian into the kitchen while making out with her.]
