It's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the year. For mistletoe!

Oh no, mistletoe!

 

SHOOT. Who put that there?! Well, you’re caught - pucker up!

Saber | Fate/Zero | God help you

[Here's Waver, Saber. And here is Waver sighing up at the offending plant.] Please tell me that the mistletoe thing doesn't have to be explained. I spent a bit of time telling Mordred about how one sets Christmas pudding on fire the other day.

[untilavalon]

I've... heard of it, but it would seem there's more to it, based on your reaction.

[gordianknots]

Er, no, actually there's not any more to the tradition.

[untilavalon]

Simply a kiss?

[gordianknots]

Mm.

[untilavalon]

And beyond admonition, what is the price for not attending to the rule?

[gordianknots]

Actually, none, which I've always found suspicious. Usually traditions have some sort of negative to them for not playing along.

[untilavalon]

Then, there's not much issue, is there?

[Nevertheless, Saber seems amused.]

[gordianknots]

I suppose not.

[He sighs, letting a little smile show.]

If I seem negative about the notion it is more a betrayal of the fact I'm terrible with things like kissing.

[untilavalon]

Perhaps there's a more suitable alternative, then?

[Idly, she offers her hand to him.]

[gordianknots]

All things considered, isn't the knight supposed to kiss the lady's hand?

[untilavalon]

A knight to a lady, a knight to his king...

All are forms not only of allegiance, but of respect.

DOIN THIS?!

[raindownthesky]

[Despite the fact that she hadn't really spent much time around Saber, she still found her company enjoyable. She's sidled up beside her, clinking their drinks together.]

Havin' fun yet?

[untilavalon]

[Good company is good company. Saber lifts her drink in recognition of the toast, and smiles.]

You could say so. How about yourself?

[raindownthesky]

Learnin' more and more about this holiday as I go.

[She takes a casual sip, watching over the crowd as she rests her elbow in the palm of her free hand.]

Yuletide was never so elaborate back home.

[untilavalon]

Well, I can't say it was much more elaborate in my time, either.

[A chuckle.]

Many things were simpler then.

[raindownthesky]

[She points to the newest addition to her knowledge; the plant in the doorway.]

Did you guys have that?

[crowsicle]

[For a kid raised by a creepy webcam trap ninja, he really doesn't seem to have much situational awareness. Davesprite's just minding his own business, composing Christmas raps under his breath while he waits for his hot apple cider to cool a little.

Hot apple cider, guys. It's the most wonderful time of the year.]

[untilavalon]

Do you often whisper to your cider, Dave?

[A king approaches! And asserting her newly formed sense of humour, to boot.]

[crowsicle]

Only if it deserves my sweet, sweet nothings. 'Sup?

[He offers a fist, because bunps have been at the TOP of his list of modern marvels to teach Once and Future King of England.]

[untilavalon]

Not much.

[She'll give you a progressively-less-awkward-than-before-fist-bunp back, Dave.]

Enjoying the peace, for what it's worth.

[crowsicle]

Yeah, I gotta say it's a nice change of pace. Past couple Decembers here have been almost decent, besides the cold.

[Sips his cider. It's like apple juice went god tier. He's so happy.]

[untilavalon]

How many Decembers have you been here?

[crowsicle]

This is my second, I guess. Feels like five though, with how long winter lasts around here.
