[Harry is out and about shopping, constantly forgetting about the curse as he kisses each new person. Looking around, he sees a rather flustered woman.]

Miss, are you alright?

[mis_match]

[Emma is not accustomed to be putting in uncomfortable situations, and today has been more uncomfortable than most. She has managed to avoid kissing anyone on the lips, but it has been very difficult. She would stay in her apartment, but the sound of the ticking drives her to madness and would rather be accosted on the street than suffer that clock. When she is accosted on the street, the exact opposite.

So when Harry approaches her, Emma is perhaps not quite as composed as she might have liked. In fact, she is considerably lacking in dignity. She yelps and backs away.]

I am quite fine, thank you.

[Harry gets the yelping a lot, being as tall as he is. He also gets the lying about how fine someone is a lot too.]

Really? Because you sound a little distressed.

[mis_match]

[Emma takes a deep breath. She will be composed! She looks around her and her spirits settle once she realizes that there is not a sprig of mistletoe in sight.]

I assure you, sir, you are quite mistaken.

[dresden4hire]

[Harry studies her for a moment, not buying the line but not wanting to bother her too much.]

Sorry then, I didn't mean to upset you.

[mis_match]

It is perfectly all right, sir. I appreciate your concern.

[She tries to brush past him.]
