Hm?

[Armin looks up to where Eren was looking. He smiled and laughed a little.]

Oh! That? Well actually yes, I do know what it's about. It's a tradition that came from a the Norse god story. Baldu I think it was. His mother Frigg asked all the birds, beasts, creatures of the sea and plants not to harm her son when she sent him to earth. She forgot to ask Mistletoe not to harm him and- Did you know it's a very toxic and dangerous plant Eren?

[Someone's getting distracted.] -But yes, she forgot to ask it not to harm Baldu and an arrow head was laced with the toxic plant essence, fired at him by another God called Loki and it killed him! So then the tears of Baldur's mother became the berries of the plant, and it was decreed that mistletoe would never again be used as a weapon and that she would place a kiss on anyone who passed under it.

[A pause and a shrug.]

And so, that's why people kiss under it, Eren.

[greatrage]

Yeah, Glockenblume "told" me it was poisonous. He was really confused about why we were bringing it into the house, seemed to want to make sure I knew not to eat the berries. [the little dragon could be like a mother hen sometimes...]

So it's kind of ironic, huh? Doing something like kissing under something so dangerous. That IS irony, right? [hehehe... putting off the inevitable, now...]

[an_arlert_mind]

Yea, good on him for telling you!

[A smile, because at least if Mikasa wasn't about to keep an eye on Eren, Armin could count on Glockenblume!]

It's a kind of irony, sure. I mean, I don't think that's why it's hung, but you're right, Eren! It's very ironic to do so.

[Yea, it's like Armin has forgotten they have to kiss - This is what you get for asking a nerd to explain an origin story!]

[greatrage]

[Useful little creatures, Fire Lizards!]

Yeah... I'm still not sure what "irony" is. But I'm glad I got it kind of close. [Eren looks up at the plant, then back at Armin. HE hasn't forgotten] So, how should we do this...?

[an_arlert_mind]

[He was about to explain to Eren what Irony means, and so on and so forth, until his best friend reminded him why they were there and what was going to have to happen.]

Oh right! Ahah, yea sorry. Um.. Hm..

[Pondering as he smiled, not so much awkward, but more slightly embarrassed. Eren was his closest friend, a little kiss between them should be nothing to get worried over, it was just a little embarrassing was all.]

Okay Eren! Close your eyes!

[greatrage]

Uh... mmm.. ok! [Eren is a little flustered himself. Of course he is! But it won't be a big deal, right? So he closes his eyes]
