I know it’s been a while, but I’m still happy beyond words that the library is back! Thank you, everyone who consoled me when the buildings disappeared. Even those that scolded me… I believe I needed it. I’m feeling… better now

[Jaime's actually the most awkward kid ever, so he has noticed the mistletoe. And he is trying to act like he never saw it... except it's kinda failing. So, sorry, Yomiko, but you've got a very nervous Jaime by the doors.]

[deathly_origami]

Jaime? Is something wrong?

[notaluchador]

H-hey, Yomiko! Not much. Just... sorta-kinda nervous about Christmas.

You? [sorry, but uh. He's not exactly moving from his place under the mistletoe.]

[deathly_origami]

Uhm... I'm fine?

Are you worried about your Secret Santa? Did you get one of those, Jaime?

[notaluchador]

Huh? Oh, yeah, sorta-kinda. I've never met the guy before, so I'm not sure what he'd like.

[slowly moving out is a-go, though he's being very awkward about it.]

[deathly_origami]

Really? I've never met mine either... but I'm sure we'll both do fine with our choices! After all, it's the thought that counts, right?

Erm... Jaime? Are you sure you're alright? You're... acting a little... differently then normal.

[notaluchador]

Of course. Kinda a shame we can't ask around, since it might've helped make an easier gift.

[nods, finally pointing towards the mistletoe] ... Yeah, I'm okay. You didn't see that?

[deathly_origami]

I agree, but we'll manage!

Oh yes, I was the one to hang it up! I thought it was very festive looking...

...[Realization dawns.]

...Although I confess, I never thought about the implications of people walking under it. I uhm... didn't think that far ahead.

[notaluchador]

Yeahhhhhh... No offense, but you probably should've put it on a table or something if you didn't want people kissing each other around here.

[deathly_origami]

No, you're right... I wasn't thinking...

...

Although, what a lovely story that would be! Two people, previously unaware of each other, meeting by chance under the mistletoe and falling in love! I would enjoy a book like that!

[deathly_origami]

...I should probably still take it down though, shouldn't I?

[notaluchador]

[nods as he moves towards her] Yeah, probably. I mean... even if there wasn't mistletoe, you don't want to give people excuses to make out in the library.

Still, it was festive. Merry Christmas, Yomiko. [because any other kind of kiss would be awkward, one on the cheek will do just fine, right?]

ajneow s-so sweet!

[deathly_origami]

She smiles at that.

Thank you, Jaime. Merry Christmas to you as well.

Trust Jaime to be derpy and sweet. 8D

[notaluchador]

No problem. [he's blushing and awkward, but hey! He scored a free kiss! He's not gonna be upset.]

I'll hopefully see you around? [aaand he's awkwardly shuffling off to work. If you wanna stop him, Yomiko, now's your chance.]
