mistletoe meme comment with your character bam, now your character is under some mistletoe. no moving until you lock lips with someone. easy as it sounds.
Either, both, I know not. And like you, I did not realise its import til too late! We did not have anything of this sort in my world, but I have been told tis something of a tradition in others, although not usually one that is enforced!
[ A wry shrug ]
Only be thankful it required no more than what I gave you - some of these require far more.
I imagine that could be quite...awkward. [His neck flushes and he shifts.] I can think of nothing like it in my world either, though perhaps it's something the citizens indulge in?
[ an amused sound ] Aye, I imagine so. I heard tell the Elvenking is gaining... quite a reputation as a good kisser. [ Because sometimes Maglor is a dick, and he is always a gossip ]
I attended plenty in my time, although they were oftentimes quite grand affairs, but never have I known any tradition like this one!
[He blinks and licks his lips. It shouldn't surprise him that someone would take advantage of the situation.]
I think it best I avoid the traps and reserve my lips for - [It's strange talking about his relationship with Stefen openly, but he doesn't see a reason to be cautious.] Stefen.
[Either way, Vanyel isn't comfortable kissing - or being kissed - by strangers. Not to say he isn't experienced when it comes to such matters, but he's a romantic. Kisses without affection behind them are empty and leave him feeling...hollow.]
I will follow your advice to the best of my ability! The spell they used must be powerful if it can trap a Mage.
[ Well he's lucky the muns are in a good mood then isn't he? XD ]
[ Maglor, for his part, does not truly care, one way or another, but his heart is tied forever to bleached blonde hair and laughing sea blue eyes, and it feels wrong to offer more ]
Well, we have already seen how strong out Hosts' abilities are - tis no surprise that the little ones can work things on a similar level when properly motivated.
When properly mischievous, you mean. [He reaches out and touches Maglor's arm, expression thoughtful.] You seem...stronger. More whole. Is it because of your family?
Or that. [ Maglor agrees and blinks at Vanyel, tipping his head thougtfully ]
Maedhros needs me to be well. [ He says eventually, as if that is all the explanation that is needed, because to him, of course, it is. If Maedhros wishes him to live, than that is what he will do ]
Then I'm glad he's here. [If that's all it takes, he's relieved. Watching Maglor slowly fade away hadn't been pleasant.] No matter how I complain about my family, I know the importance of it.
... [He pales and drops his gaze.] I'm sorry. [Death is a close companion to Heralds. Even so...] You have to decide whether or not you will seek hope. He was your main hearth, but there can be lesser hearths you warm your heart by.
[ Maglor reaches across to brush a hand on Vanyel's arm comfortingly ]
You did not know, tis fine.
[ But he shakes his head slowly ] They are all lost to me, my bright brothers, my brilliant father, my lady wife and my beautiful mother. There is nothing for me at home.

[ Maglor chuckles softly ]
I am sure Stefen would approve, and in that case I would be very careful about where you step!
