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!


How to Play

  1. Post your character and canon in the subject line
  2. Next person who responds is the one you’re caught under the mistletoe with!
  3. Go as awkward, sweet, or embarrassing as you like! (Quick cheek peck? Full French? Sure! But you have to kiss or the Nargles will get you!)
  4. Comment, Tag, and catch others under the mistletoe. Have fun!

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

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

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

[Nevertheless, Saber seems amused.]

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.

Perhaps there's a more suitable alternative, then?

[Idly, she offers her hand to him.]

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

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

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

That was mostly a joke about my hair, Saber.

--Ah.

[She does seem to always miss these things.]

...Right. Of course.

[personal profile] gordianknots 2013-12-11 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
--Bad joke, admittedly.

[And with that tension hanging in the air, he quickly kisses Saber's hand, and laughs.]

Did I do that correctly?

[personal profile] untilavalon 2013-12-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
You did-- almost.

[With that, she takes his hand, and returns the gesture more properly.]
gordianknots: In a room of strangers I guess I'm glad I don't belong (We are genii)

[Ignore the fact he's bright red, Saber.]

Noted for next time.
