[ Albus thinks that this kissing thing is really sweet and kind of cute. *3* JUST NOT FOR HIM because he has absolutely no wish to be kissed by anyone. at all. too bad for him, huh? he's set up shop in the library, and is at a table with a lot of books surrounding him, most of them about healing magic. he has removed every single bell within a two

[Walking by - oh, no, wait, he's backing up again. =D Familiar faces all around!]

Fancy seeing you here again. Albus, right?

[lifeandliesof]

[ smiles all friendly-like! ]

That I am. And you are... [ headtilt. ] I don't think I ever got your name.

[mmm_paradise]

Mm, sorry about that. How's the last few months been for you?

[lifeandliesof]

[ finger to chin ] I can't complain. I've mostly been keeping to myself, but there you go.

And yourself?

[mmm_paradise]

Splendid. Nothing like the holiday cheer to lift your spirits! Or, you know, the holiday slump to entertain you, if you're into that.

[lifeandliesof]

[ ...grins, amused, not by what you might think ]

Well, as far as things I'm 'into', entertainment has been scarce, but I certainly can't help but be infected by the Christmas spirit.

[ sniffs that air delicately ] Even the library smells of it.

[mmm_paradise]

[That's Joshua: here to put smiles on your face! He tilts his head.]

Of what, precisely?

[lifeandliesof]

Gingerbread.

[ smiles, he likes it. sips his mead ]

[mmm_paradise]

How very nostalgic. [Looks out at the library... Hm? Muttering to himself:] So, is that everyone...?

[lifeandliesof]

Yes, very.

[ sip... sip? didn't quite catch that. politely: ]

Looking for someone? Can I help at all?

[mmm_paradise]

[Looks back at him, grins.] Not particularly. I'm more of a fan of keeping my wits around me. I'm sure your concerns could be put to better use elsewhere.

[lifeandliesof]

[ mildly, still smiling a bit ] Of course. That's where our wits belong, after all.

I'll be on the lookout, then.

[mmm_paradise]

Please do. After all, you never know what you might miss if you don't keep your eyes peeled. [Like the bell ornament that spontaneously grew right onto the back of the chair, perhaps.]

that icon is scary♥

[lifeandliesof]

[ taps his glasses ] How lucky for me that I have these.

[ oh, you mean the ornament that just appeared on the back of the chair where he's stretching his arm, touching it and making it tinkle? ]

...

[ freezes, and gives a small sigh ]

[1/3; so's this one]

[mmm_paradise]

[2/3; and this one]
