So, the enchanted mistletoe is in place.

[...and Descole, typically, has ended up caught under it. Since she can't step out from under it, she's resorted to just sitting down in the middle of the floor, leaning against thin air. If it works, why not? She might as well take advantage of it the best she can, she reasons. She's not exactly happy about what she suspects this is going to entail - she knows mistletoe when she sees it - so she's trying to calm herself down about the whole thing along with waiting for someone to come along to help her out.]

[At that, Luke's cheeks turn slightly pink.] Well...if it's alright with you...

[contraltoflute]

Well, better you than some of the others I've encountered.

[She ducks her head a little as she stands up, to hide that here own cheeks are flushed too.]

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

Very well then. [He steps closer and lightly cups her cheek.]

[contraltoflute]

[Descole lets him, glad that the mask stops him from seeing that she's determinedly staring at the floor so as to make herself less flustered.]

...I hate this place, you know that?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

[He laughs lightly.] I don't blame you. [Hesitates for a split second before leaning closer to kiss her.]

[contraltoflute]

[She stays still to let him kiss her, then steps back as soon as the mistletoe releases them, eyeing it the whole while.]

I wonder... this place certainly seems to provide the things I want usually, perhaps it would consider some sort of projectile to get rid of that stuff.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

[Quickly moving away as well.] Well, I consider it unlikely seeing as it's this place that brought the mistletoe here.

[contraltoflute]

True...

[She sighs.]

Well. Would you like to take advantage of the thing it does give me in abundance, Luke?

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

[Eyebrow raise.] Oh?

[contraltoflute]

Alcohol.

No matter how much of it I get through, the mini-fridge in the main room up on our floor stays miraculously full. It's one of the few things I approve of, here.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

Well, since you're offering, I wouldn't mind taking advantage of it with you.

[contraltoflute]

Oh, good. Drinking alone was starting to get plain depressing, and I couldn't find double.

[She turns to start back to the room, checking for mistletoe along the way.]

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

[Follows after her.]

[contraltoflute]

[Once they reach the room, she heads straight for the mini-fridge, pulling out a selection to bring back to the table.]

Sit down, and take your pick. Like I said, it refills itself, so you're welcome to whatever.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

You certainly do have quite a selection, Descole. [But sitting and looks at the selection carefully before randomly picking one out.]

[contraltoflute]

My tastes are many and varied, Luke. And I guess it makes sense for that thing to provide a selection anyway, since I'm not always the only one drinking it.

[She reaches out to pick her own drink without even looking, watching him the whole time.]

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

Hm. [If there's a glass he can use, he'll pour some of his own poison into it. If not, he'll request for one soon.]

It seems like more people are arriving in this place lately.

[contraltoflute]

[There is, yep! Descole sits herself side-on in her chair, so that she can lounge against the arm.]

Mmm... well, that's a good thing, right? I mean, it means more people to talk to, so...

[She pauses, taking a swig of her drink.] Well, I don't know. Personally, I'd prefer the place to stay empty, but I know that others enjoy varied company more than I do.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the company. It's quite refreshing to see some familiar faces here, but it really depends on the other people here.

[Taking a sip of his own drink.]

[contraltoflute]

Mmm... well, in my case most company is unwelcome. I guess... you can pretty much sum up whose company I'd actually enjoy with the people who I've invited to live up here with me, you know?

So I guess that leaves the count at you and double.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

I'm honored you enjoy my company. [Small grin.]

[contraltoflute]

[Grinning back, Descole downs most of what's left of her drink.]

Well, I guess you're tolerable. And you're certainly easy on the eyes. Well. Eye.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.] Why, thank you.

[contraltoflute]

[Finishing off the rest of her drink, Descole leans forward to get another one.]

And I'm not even drunk this time, my compliments are improving.

[puzzlingraven.livejournal.com]

It would appear so. [Hides his smile by downing the rest of his glass.]
