[Raven has just walked out of the flower shop, looking a bit annoyed at the fact they didn't seem to have what he was looking for.]

MISTLETOE!

Why did nobody tell me 'bout that tradition before?! All these years I could've gotten a free kiss from a pretty lady for danglin' a flower over her head, gone to waste!

[latkje]

You think so? I'd hesitate to make a judgment.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

It wasn't me who made that judgment ta begin with.

[voice]

[latkje]

Oh? Then who did, and why are you listening to them?

[voice]

[crisisrain]

The people from my world of course!

[voice]

[latkje]

And you trust them to know you better than you know yourself?

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh I know I'm a bad example, they just like ta point it out. Not that I mind of course. I am capable of takin' things seriously when it arises.

[voice]

[latkje]

I've noticed.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Now I don't know if yer being mean or kind sayin' that.

[voice]

[latkje]

Does it have to be one or the other?

[voice]

[crisisrain]

OK now I'm certain, yer just being mean.

[voice]

[latkje]

My missus says I am, sometimes. And I suppose she's an expert.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Haha sounds like ya really love each other! Is she here in Luceti?

[voice]

[latkje]

No. No, she is not.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Sounds like ya miss her though.

[voice]

[latkje]

I always do. And then when she's around, I miss when she wasn't.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Haha! Isn't that just how real love works! Yer a lucky man to have found someone who makes ya feel that way.

[voice]

[latkje]

I know.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

[Raven pauses for a moment, thinking about someone who was once very dear to him.]

Ever tried usin' mistletoe on her?

[voice]

[latkje]

My wife? [The 800+ year old vampire?] Nope. She likes to be the one to make the moves.

[voice]

[crisisrain]

OH! A feisty lady! Now yer makin' me jealous!

[voice]

[latkje]

Why do you think I mention her so often?

[voice]

[crisisrain]

Because obviously ya miss her.

[voice]

[latkje]

It's true. But I'm used to being away from her for long stretches of time. Besides, being married makes it easier to talk to other girls!

[voice]

[crisisrain]

At least you'll get to see her again someday. Can't the say the same for me though...

Oh 'cause they know yer not gonna try flirt with them if you're married right?

[voice]

[latkje]

[ Nash notices that trailing off sentence, but he isn't going to pry. For now.]

'Cause they think I'm not going to try and flirt with them if I'm married.
