[Must be the inherent embarrassment of being in a Game like this. Not strange at all! But Griffin brightens to see her]

Oh, Sekhmet! I meant t'find you!

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Ah, y-you did?

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

I think Shrike's one year anniversary of bein' here is coming up. We should finish that so-- [cough] I mean, our project soon!

[...oh that's all.]

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Oh! Yes, definitely.

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

We should go practice. D'you wanna go practice?

--oh, unless you're playing. I can wait if you wanna rack up points.

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Sure! Let's do it.

Um, I can spare a fair minutes off from the game.

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

It's looking like it'll last all day anyway, that's pleeenty of time for people to kiss.

[He has a teasing grin, but knowing Sekhmet's feelings about herself and her regrets over leading Kohime on, it's entirely not directing any judgment at her.]

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

[It's okay, sometimes she likes doing some smooching anyway, even if it's awkward.

Especially when Kohime comes to Say Things during the game.]

Yes, I have plenty of time.

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Let's go~ His secret hideout is close enough to walk, thankfully. But there's mistletoe hung everywhere on the way - lampposts, awnings, etc]

Man, this stuff's really everywhere...

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

[Oops she wanders under one

By accident really.]

It really is... it's a parasite, you know. Normally only grows on other plants, absorbs their nutrients.

A vampire.

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

What?? It's poisonous, and a parasite?

[He arcs his head to stare up at one, forgetting to watch where he's going. Perfect time to bump into Sekhmet just as she passes under another bough.]

Whoa--

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Metal, right?

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Laughs,]

When you put it that way-- yeah, it's pretty hardcore.

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Yeah!

[She suddenly looks away, flustered, when she realizes what they're standing under.]

Mind, ah, helping me... um, play?

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

Oh. [Right, she was still playing. His cheeks go pink, considering-- this is Sekhmet, after all. She was special. She was Shrike's.

It's okay. Softly, he smiles.]

I don't mind.

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

Yes, I um... thank you. I want to do this.

[Moving in closer, tilting his chin down to give him a gentle, chaste kiss on the lips. Unhurried, deliberate.]

Mm, th-thank you.

Re: MISTLETOE

[gigadevilbreaker]

[That's...


surprising.

Griffin assumes most people would just go for a simple kiss on the cheek, so that's what he was prepared for. Not a kiss on the lips, and certainly not one that was... gentle and savoured? He doesn't jerk back, but when he does lean back up, it's with a look of confusion in his eyes.]

Uh. Glad to... help?

Re: MISTLETOE

[nihilmancy]

[she doesn't really understand either, these games make her way too impulsive with her affection and she just exists in a cloud of anxiety and cringing for a while after them]

You're, ah, welcome...
