((ooc: from here))

[Keeps arm insistently straightened out between them, though unless Tyki is rejecting, his hand is probably resting on a lapel...]

You will have to explain your definition of 'friends'. By my count we have met no more than twice, if those instances could be counted at all. And I must say I have no interest in befriending anyone of your sort.

[my_pleasure]

Is that so? Has it only been twice? It feels like so much more than that! And we're both good friends with the chea— with Allen, that is. There's something to be said for mutual friends, isn't there?

[boundbydevotion]

I'm afraid I was not aware that claiming you are Walker's friend is anything but a blatant misrepresentation of your association with him.

[>:|!!!!]

[my_pleasure]

I don't know what you mean by that. We're old poker buddies, after all.

[boundbydevotion]

. . .

[my_pleasure]

I've been nothing less than well-behaved since I got here. You really don't have a thing on me.

[boundbydevotion]

A change in behavior hardly equates a change in nature, and I've heard enough to be wary.

[my_pleasure]

Do you make it a habit of judging people on second-hand information?

[boundbydevotion]

Are you so interested in making a good impression with me? I doubt you even know what my name is, Mr. Mikk.

[my_pleasure]

You mean it isn't actually Dotface? Color me surprised.

[boundbydevotion]

[shdofhshdf--THINKS VERY HARD ABOUT NOT MOVING AT ALL because he knows if he tries to push Tyki back right now it would only result in something unfortunate]

Of course it isn't!

[my_pleasure]

Perhaps you'd care to enlighten me.

[boundbydevotion]

. . . [THE MOST SUSPICIOUS FACE]

It's Link. Howard Link.

[my_pleasure]

Ahh. Howie it is, then.

[boundbydevotion]

'Howie' it is NOT! I prefer to be addressed as Link!

[my_pleasure]

I think it's a rather endearing nickname, Howie.

[boundbydevotion]

[Fist in the lapel, probably along with a half-conscious tug :(]

I have no need of endearing nicknames from you!!

[my_pleasure]

[ he'll let you do it because it's funny. Well, he's chuckling, anyway. ]

Too bad, the nickname's stuck already. I do like it quite a bit. It suits your...disposition.

[boundbydevotion]

Disposition!? It doesn't suit me at all!

[my_pleasure]

I'm sure it'll grow on you.

[boundbydevotion]

. . .

I shall endeavor not to speak with you often enough for such a thing to occur.

[When did our faces get so close anyway? 8|]

[my_pleasure]

[ you tell me :| ]

If that's your plan, I think you'd have a good start by backing up a little.

[boundbydevotion]

Absolutely not.

[my_pleasure]

...no?

[boundbydevotion]

Much as it pains me, any attempts at movement in this situation tend to be counter-productive.

[RESOLVES NOT TO MOVE. AGAIN.]

[my_pleasure]

Or maybe you like it.

[boundbydevotion]

You are mistaken.

[my_pleasure]

Oh really? [ what would you think if I tried to put my hands on your shoulders? :|a ]

[boundbydevotion]

[Automatically putting hands up to block--man there isn't much space for this--and turning his face away the slightest bit while still keeping an eye on Tyki.]

I am quite certain.

[This is all very difficult when one is fighting not to shift onto one's toes.]

[my_pleasure]

[ just to make things interesting, he'll let you~ ]

Whatever shall we do, then?

[boundbydevotion]

[ . . . Standing here all day would be almost equally horrible as kissing a Noah. INTERNAL DEBATE ]

[my_pleasure]

[ just gonna wait♥ ]

[boundbydevotion]

[REALIZATION: DAMMIT THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME!]

[my_pleasure]

I'm still waiting.

[boundbydevotion]

[sjdfs >8|]

Fine! Let's just be done with it.

[my_pleasure]

As you wish.

[ NO HESITATION. I hope you like a little tongue with your kisses. ]

[boundbydevotion]

[NOT IN PARTICULAR except when putting off mistletoe-kisses backfires, apparently.]

[my_pleasure]

[ at least he's good at it? ]

[boundbydevotion]

[After months of being subjected to mistletoe every day Link is not-terrible himself. WHICH HELPS NOT AT ALL]

[my_pleasure]

[ in that case, why stop? B) ]

[boundbydevotion]

[IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEGUN IN THE FIRST PLACE sudden sharp attempt to shove and draw back at the same time]

[my_pleasure]

[ ...bawww. ]

My, done that a few times before, have you?

[boundbydevotion]

[//////!!!]

[boundbydevotion]

That is no concern of yours!!

[my_pleasure]

Maybe not, but it's good to know.
