What the hell?  Everyone I'm seein' is trying to kiss someone else.

I dunno what this is about.  Just...could someone explain it to me?

I barely even know what kissin' is.

Mistletoe, my dear. It's a rather silly tradition, but there's nothing wrong with harmless fun. It certainly seems to have raised everyone's spirits around here.

[swordsdancerox]

I've...never heard of it. Did people do that back in Kanto? Or...whatever region you're from?

[totembird]

Close; I was born in Johto. I did know some humans who did it, and a few Pokemon imitated them as well.

However, my kind rarely did so. A peck on the cheek becomes quite literal when you have a beak instead of lips.

[swordsdancerox]

I uh...ow.

Guess I wouldn't know. I only saw other people kissing.

[totembird]

If one is gentle enough, it's not so bad... but beak-nudges are hardly the classical definition of affectionate gestures.

You're abstaining from this particular tradition, then...?

[swordsdancerox]

Uh, I dunno. I've never done it before.

[totembird]

Well, no time like the present. May I?
