The first time is by chance; he's on his way back from the library, having fetched a book of human poetry his sister desired to read. The mistletoe has not yet caught him, so the view of a child standing underneath a sprig of green doesn't raise any alarms. The prince nods and continues on his way.

[ He smiles shyly at her and stepping close he lifts her hand and brushes a kiss across her knuckles ]
The mistletoe is charmed, I fear.

[No guarantee it'll be fun but.]
We could try a hug, but we'd be breaking tradition.
[Steve's a little bit sheepish but...they've been friends since practically forever.]

[By now Triss is trying to avoid the mistletoe. Unfortunately that means she's looking everywhere but in front of her or where she's going. Oops. And walks right into the side of the standing still tin can.]

[Expect a lot of surprise and likely confusion from the poor, sweet, innocent and very pretty lad...]
