[Wild post-war Lenalee was caught! Very, very caught. Vines wrapping around her arms and legs and middle and lifting her off the ground kind of caught.] Ah- help!

[farflungskies]

...Wall? [That's Kanda's attempt at a joke, right? There can't be a wall- he came from that direction!]

[freeloyalty]

Yes, a wall! [Punches it. God damn it, what do you want from him?!]

[farflungskies]

Well- punching it probably won't do anything! [For fuck's sake, Kanda, you're nearly thirty years old, learn how to deal with problems maturely.]

[freeloyalty]

[He does what he wants!!

Huffs, stepping back.] What the hell does it want?!

[farflungskies]

[That sort of thinking is what got you to dying a good two decades away from middle age! At his huff, she huffs back, trying to wriggle around enough to look up at the ceiling where the plant stems from. It takes a minute or two, and she probably looks like a fish out of water doing it, but eventually she manages to twist over onto her back without dislocating her arms, grunting in a highly ladylike manner.

There's a few beats of silence.]

...Is this mistletoe?

[freeloyalty]

[A pause, before craning his head back to look over whatever plant has got hold of her. Huh. Maybe it is.]

What about it?

[farflungskies]

[The white berries seem to imply it is, and Lenalee stares up at them for a while. Glances back down at him.] ...Do you think it won't let us leave because you haven't kissed me?

That's the tradition, isn't it? [Like she'd know for sure with a brother like hers.]

[freeloyalty]

... That would be it, wouldn't it. [It's in total accordance to their luck, after all. Glares at the mistletoe.]

[farflungskies]

[Of course! Just because they won the war doesn't mean their luck is any less crap. Twisting around in the vines again, she tips her head back to give Kanda a brilliant smile.] Well, come back over here and we'll see, right?

[freeloyalty]

[Hnnnnnngh. Scrunches his face, but he turns back around and walks up to her.]

[farflungskies]

[Oh, don't look so enthusiastic. You might overwhelm her with your eagerness. Stares levelly at him as he comes up, then proceeds to struggle as upright as she possibly can so she is in a good position to pull him forward by the shoulder and lay a kiss on his forehead.]

[freeloyalty]

[Leans forward with her guidance, letting her peck his forehead. Hey, at least he's ready in case the mistletoe decides to just drop her.]

[farflungskies]

[Luckily, it doesn't. The vines loosen slowly as she draws back, smoothing his bangs down again, then speed up just enough that she sort of- slips free the way a person would jump from a ledge; up high and then on their feet again in an instant. She braces a hand on Kanda's arm on the way down nevertheless, glancing up at the receding plant after she's steadied herself.] So that's how we fix that, then.

[freeloyalty]

So let's go before it does it again. [Reaches for her wrist to pull her along. Come on, come on.]

[farflungskies]

[-Oop. Letting him drag her along with a perfunctory sort of whap to his shoulderblade. She can walk on her own.

But it's fine if he leads her just this once, because she's so happy to see him.] How much longer than me have you been here?
