[He is unaware of the tradition associated with the decorations hanging above him.]

[thegreatninja]

[That's alright, Yuffie will happily inform you. She walks up with a smile and stops next to him under the small piece of holly.]

Hey, I didn't know you were that kind of guy.

[zodiac_brave]

[He gives her a bewildered look.]

What do you mean?

[thegreatninja]

[She takes a step closer until they are standing nose to nose. Of course she is reaching up on her tippy toes to rise to his height.]

Your standing under the mistletoe.

[zodiac_brave]

[He looks up, still confused.]

That little sprig? What of it?

[When he turns his head back towards Yuffie, he finds her almost nose to nose with him. His eyes widen and he takes a little step back.]

[thegreatninja]

[Its to late, she is close enough still to close the final distance. Her lips lightly brush against his cheek as she pulls back with a smile.]

If two people meet under the mistletoe they have to kiss.

[zodiac_brave]

[His hand flies to his cheek where Yuffie kissed it. His sister is the only one who has ever been so familiar with him.]

Why?

[It is up to Yuffie to determine whether he means the tradition or the kiss.]

[thegreatninja]

I don't know but its your fault for standing there plus I might have wanted to anyway.

[She gives him a wink before moving to turn away. Let him stew on that.]

[Allenby looks him up and down, steels herself, smiles, and gives Ramza a kiss on the cheek. Cuz tradition!]

[zodiac_brave]

[Ramza smiles at her as she approaches. He does not recall meeting her before, but she seems friendly enough...

Overly friendly, he discovers as she kisses his cheek. He flushes red and flails back a little bit.]

E-excuse me? Have we met?

[Doppelgangers have been known to show up here. Perhaps she knows another him?]

[comeoutswinging]

Well, no. But I've seen you around. Plus, you were standing by yourself under the mistletoe.

But since we haven't, I'm Allenby, by the way. [And she offers her hand for a shake. Ramza should feel that Allenby is somehow... overpowered. She's a Monk/Ninja...]

[zodiac_brave]

[Ramza takes her hand and shakes it, still a little scandalized. Her grip is crushing, but she is not the first monk he has shaken hands with, and his gloves offer at least a little protection.]

I am Ramza. What do you mean, 'standing under the mistletoe'?

[comeoutswinging]

That, right there [she points it out]

That's a plant called Mistletoe. And at this time of year, well... I don't know why but when someone stands under it, you're supposed to kiss them. It is one of the many things about Christmas I never learned.

[zodiac_brave]

Oh. [Ramza relaxes at that, realizing that Allenby is neither an illusionist spy nor a strange kiss-thief. Strange traditions, he can handle. He was raised by an old noble family, after all.]

Very well. [He steps forward and places a kiss on her cheek.] Merry Christmas, Lady Allenby.

[comeoutswinging]

[And her cheeks turn red, not having expected the return on the kiss.]

Th-thanks. E-even if it's not that time yet. [She can look down a demonic Gundam and punch it's Eldrich Horror of a face in but... boys and kissing... She's still a girl!]

[zodiac_brave]

[Ramza freezes, worried he has overstepped some boundary.]

I apologize. Are the Mistletoe kisses not meant to be returned? Or are we only meant to wish a 'Merry Christmas' on the day itself?

[He is not sure which misstep has left Allenby flustered, but he will do his best to right the situation if he can.]

[comeoutswinging]

I... I don't know. [She's still blushing. He didn't overstep anything].

There's a lot of details I don't know. I spent more time training than the holidays. I just... Even though I kissed you. I'ven ever... you know... had it happen to me.
