That stuff above your head would likely be mistletoe. [Though you can't see him, he's definitely smiling from ear to ear.] I'd offer you my company under it, but I have a feeling you'd be another one of the many women after my head today.

Watching? What, watch people kiss? I-I'd rather just avoid it all together... [Totally thinking you sound like such a dirty old man, Shouryuu.]

... A little. I'm not proud of it but I... Do you remember when I first arrived? I was taken in by the Queen of Kyou after I was exiled from Hou. But she treated me so terribly that I stole one of her beasts, some of her treasure and fled.

When I arrived here for the first time, that had just occurred.
