Hello, Somarium.

[Youji is out of frame, but the Dreamberry is very much focused on the doorway of the flowershop, Nectar.]

The very strangest thing--it being the season and all, I went to place a sprig of mistletoe in our shop doorway. But it seems there's one already there. Fitting for a flowershop, but I'm wondering who got the jump on me.

[ GAAAAAAAAAAAAASP! ]

If you keep that up, you're going to put me out of business, Youji!

[slantedcross]

I would never!

You're going to get all the men.

[beautifulmartyr]

and you're going to get all the women! Do we have any idea the male to female ratio in Somarium so we can see who the real winner will be?

[slantedcross]

I've often wondered.

I've never seen enough women for my tastes, though. You might have a clear shot at the prize, Aerith.

[beautifulmartyr]

Maybe they're just hiding from you, Youji. [ She kids. ]

Any luck with finding a date?

[slantedcross]

You're breaking my heart.

[Also kidding.]

But no, not yet. So far, just coworkers staring at me in horror and tears.

[In the latter case because he picked up the age-down card, but who cares, right.]

[beautifulmartyr]

I'm sure you'll live.

Oh? What did you do to them, hm?

[slantedcross]

[He points to the mistletoe over the doorway.]

And you know, I didn't even put it there this time.

[beautifulmartyr]

Let's hope you boys don't end up under it together and I think everything will be fine.

I wonder who put it there.

[slantedcross]

It doesn't count when it's coworkers. Little-known fact.

So do I. Customer, possibly.

[Or competition? Raises eyebrow.]

[beautifulmartyr]

Oh? I didn't know there were rules! We didn't really have a Christmas back home.

You need to watch your store a bit better~.

[ oh, you'll never know, Youji. You'll never know. ]

[slantedcross]

I have other things I'd rather watch.

[He laughs.]

It's not that big a deal where I'm from, either. It's an excuse to take a girl out and share some cake.

[beautifulmartyr]

Oh? Dare I ask what?

Do you really need an excuse to do that, Youji?

[slantedcross]

I don't know--do you?

And I don't, but I never turn one down, either.

[beautifulmartyr]

I do.

I'm sure you'll find someone to fatten up with sweets.

[slantedcross]

Trade secret, I'm afraid.

I'll get you some cake to make up for it, though.
