♰ seventh night

[crystalize]

[ Okay, maybe today wasn't the best time to visit the castle with the threat of castle-induced kisses looming over the horizon. But she wanted to check up on a few people and using the journal seemed kind of impersonal. So here she is, sporting a very pretty dark blue Victorian-styled dress -- sorry boys, no legs today! She has her journal tucked

[ oh hi lenalee, vincent is just on his way out and totally brushes into her in the lobby, his thoughts mildly elsewhere. Of course he pauses to look at her and is thinking it's all this stupid girl's fault, but he smiles charmingly and bows his down a bit.]

I'm terribly sorry, miss.

[crystalize]

[ she looks a little surprised when someone bumps into her but immediately straightens up and looks apologetic ]

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I should have been paying more attention.

[dormoused]

[yes, yes you should have. He looks at her a moment, however, and smiles again.]

Think nothing of it. It's easy to be distracted with such beautiful decorations isn't it?

[crystalize]

[ she returns the smile and a nod ]

They're really pretty. We didn't really have a lot of time to enjoy Christmas back home. So, admittedly, I'm a little drawn in by the decorations.

[dormoused]

Oh? Then, that is one thing not so bad about this place then, isn't it. [a laugh]

[crystalize]

Yes. No matter how bad things might get, I want to believe positive things like this will always happen. Even if they're small.

[dormoused]

What an admirable outlook.

[crystalize]

I don't think being pessimistic will get you very far here.

My name is Lenalee, it's nice to meet you.. ?

[dormoused]

I am sure you're quite right about that. [ he smiles and then gives her a small bow. ]

My apologies. Vincent Nightray at your service, Miss Lenalee.

[crystalize]

[ so polite! she bows her head a little -- hey, she doesn't curtsy ]

You don't have to apologize. Pleased to meet you, Vincent.

[dormoused]

[ ALL young ladies curtsy, Lenalee B| ]

The pleasure is mine, I'm sure.

[ and! are there birds in yonder lobby now? coming to perch on a wreath beside them? yes there are. ]

[crystalize]

[ NO. she refuses to curtsy, why can't she wear her short skirt here? D< ]

I don't think I've seen you here before, are you ne--

[ New here? Suddenly, she's taking one step and then another until she closes the distance between them. After that's said and done, she reaches a hand up to hesitantly touch the side of his face before leaning up to kiss him. plz don't shank me later, Vincent ]

[dormoused]

[ short skirts are for harlots and school girls...which are very often the same thing >O ]

Hm?

[ My, how bold she is. He doesn't want to shank her, he feels strangely compelled to lean down and kiss her right back. ]

[crystalize]

[ you hold your tongue! >(

this is so awkward, she isn't very experienced. so enjoy a soft, sweet and lingering kiss there. okay, here's to hoping the no shanking thing lasts after the magic wears off ]

[dormoused]

[ no you!

He'll just help her out a little with the inexperienced part. he's used to it :|

But when the birdmagic wears off and he pulls away again, he blinks a little. What the hell was that. ]

Well. You are rather forward.

[crystalize]

[ Why do you do this to me, castle?

She steps back looking torn between being mortified and just plain embarrassed. Waving. Her. Hands ]

Oh, no! It wasn't..

A friend of mine warned me about decorations that caused the residents to kiss. He said it was mistletoe and wreathes one year, but that doesn't seem to be the case this year. I'm sorry.
