[SO ANYWAY, BACK IN JULY, LINK DECIDED HE WAS IGNORING ALLEN BECAUSE ALLEN IS DUMB. And then it continued for a week mostly because he was awkward and doesn't know how to apologize for getting mad...]

[dubious]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . I mean it, Link.

[boundbydevotion]

[sigh] I don't doubt the intention is there...

[putting crust dough in a bowl and shoving it in the fridge, washing off his hands]

[allmadeofstars]

. . . but?

[boundbydevotion]

But nothing. I suppose we just don't understand each other very well.

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

No. I guess not.

[boundbydevotion]

[goes sit at the table]

And mistletoe season always makes things more difficult.

[allmadeofstars]

Because you take kissing seriously.

[boundbydevotion]

It is a serious matter!

[allmadeofstars]

If you treat it like it is.

[boundbydevotion]

It lacks meaning otherwise.

[allmadeofstars]

It can be both. Something that's not particularly meaningful with people you don't want it to have meaning with . . . and really important with those you do.

It can be both.

[boundbydevotion]

By necessity that is the case, because mistletoe doesn't allow a choice about the action itself once someone is caught by it. But I would prefer not to treat it as something inconsequential.

[allmadeofstars]

So it's just something meaningful you don't want to do with me.

[boundbydevotion]

I don't want to do it with anyone under the influence of mistletoe, Walker.

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

[pauses]

[boundbydevotion]

It is meaningful so I want to avoid being forced.

[allmadeofstars]

[leans on the table, turning her head to look at him]

[boundbydevotion]

. . . Does that seem more reasonable?

[allmadeofstars]

. . .

I'm a girl right now, you know.

[boundbydevotion]

Yes? It's last longer than it really ought to.

[allmadeofstars]

I've tried some of the cures.

[boundbydevotion]

[un...com..fortable........?]

To no effect?

[allmadeofstars]

Well, obviously.

[boundbydevotion]

Then...?
