[Alois is pink-nosed and pink-cheeked, and hasn't changed entirely out of his going-out-when-it's-so-cold clothes, yet. His gloves are off, and his muffler is draped over his shoulders rather than wrapped around his neck, but he's got a hat and coat on, still. And he's next to a large vase of white roses, atop - well, it's a desk, but a few might

I've never received gifts like that. The ones I did get were from people who very much wanted to know where I should direct my gratitude.

I had a friend who received flowers in that manner and it made her angry and gave her the creeps. Then again, the guy who almost certainly sent them was unpleasant...

Are you planning to get a kiss under that mistletoe? You know you really only need enough for the front door, unless you're planning to catch someone inside the house~

I'm still thinking it's more creepy than anything else. It reminds of this - this weird atmosphere my maid used to give off... It's really creepy.

Well- [But he shakes away his heebie jeebies and smiles.] You can never be too crafty when it comes to mistletoe.

Well, it's a good thing she's not here, right?

[Creepy maids. Where has he hard that complaint before...]

So sneak-kissing people isn't creepy.

-Probably good.

[Wait, no, no, nothing Alois does is creepy...]

Not so! It's more like... strategizing.

Then I hope you get whatever it is you're angling for.

I think it'd be nicer for someone to want to kiss me, not vice-versa.

I'm working with what I can here.

Patience isn't one of your virtues, is it?

[masterbaiting]

To be honest, you'd be surprised. I look less patient than I am.

But you're not above pushing fate along, hm?

Did you get a good price on the mistletoe? I'm throwing a Christmas party later on, you know...

You can have some of mine... it was cheap, but I have a feeling it was somewhat like the yellow roses given to me. Though I'm sure you could manage the same.

What happened with the yellow roses?

[masterbaiting]

Well as I was buying the white roses, the man at the florist's asked me if I did like roses so much. And I said yes, because I actually really do, and so when he finished giving me the roses I was to take home, he added some yellow ones also and told me that I had been smiling so nicely and so much that he wanted to see if he could make the smile larger. And that I should try to put one in my hair later on, and that I should come back sometime.

He must have thought you were pretty.

Or weak to flattery, knowing if he laid it on enough you'd be a repeat customer.

[masterbaiting]

That's not unlikely. Even so...

[hisdiscretion]

I suppose it'd be difficult to tell you were vulnerable to flattery just after meeting you.

Hopefully I'm not too terribly vulnerable, though.
