[This month of July, Link has been making more filing trips to the library than before, taking two showers a day, deciding to get some air, running to the shop for catfood, and basically making any excuse to be slightly farther from Allen Walker than has become habit.

It's mistletoe season after all.]

((ooc: personal mistletoe post, since I missed all of them.))

Ahh . . . it's okay, I don't mind, really!

[boundbydevotion]

It is untidy.

[allmadeofstars]

So?

[boundbydevotion]

So it creates more work if you don't take care of it before hand.

[Going over there with the brush]

[allmadeofstars]

[smilesmile!]

[boundbydevotion]

[Very subtle glance up before he reaches over to take Nishicat. DOESN'T HURT TO CHECK EVEN IF THEY ARE INSIDE THE CABIN.]

[allmadeofstars]

[that confirms Allen's suspicious about why he's being avoided, at least!]

. . . you're not mad at me, right?

[boundbydevotion]

[jolt]

--No, of course not.

[allmadeofstars]

[relieeeeved]

I'm glad. Ahhh, um, it's just the mistletoe, then?

[boundbydevotion]

What else, Walker?

[allmadeofstars]

Ahhh . . . that's a yes, then?

[boundbydevotion]

I wouldn't be going through all this effort otherwise.

[allmadeofstars]

. . . why?

[boundbydevotion]

[Taking Nishicat and starts brushing, as an excuse to look elsewhere]

It was about time I stopped simply letting it happen.

[allmadeofstars]

It's not that big a deal . . .

[boundbydevotion]

You may not think so.

[allmadeofstars]

I don't.

[boundbydevotion]

It is to me, Walker. I'm certain I've mentioned it once or twice, at least.

[allmadeofstars]

Ah . . . yes . . . but . . .

[boundbydevotion]

So then is it not natural for me to avoid having it become something casual?

[allmadeofstars]

I suppose?

[boundbydevotion]

[nods. THIS CONVERSATION IS CLEARLY OVER. combs uglycat a few more times before letting it jump away]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . but I don't like you leaving so much. It's . . . weird.

[boundbydevotion]

It's only temporary--

[boundbydevotion]

--ah... [how long have I been on this assignment]
