[He didn't normally walk this close, preferring to fall back behind, but he was in a hurry /and/ Rio was familiar enough he didn't feel theneed to dodge her— it's a bit cramped and he isn't above shoving or pushing, but she's nice, so he was going to settle for just looking up and giving her an annoyed little frown at the delay— but that annoyance was quickly replaced with wide eyes and reddening cheeks.]

Oops.

[On the other hand, Rio has been willfully ignoring the inconvenience... up until now. If he's going to notice and make a big deal out of it, then perhaps she has a reason to play with it a little. She can't help it; she grins.]

Oh dear. I don't suppose you've ever been in this situation before, have you?

N... not really, no.

[He'd normally dodge them too (avoid people, avoid midtletoe, avoid cheeful catolers and avoid the professors in Santa costumes), but he hadn't been expeting that here, not really.]

... they're surprisingly festive, huh?

[Trying to sound casual, though he was flustered, and if the reddening cheeks weren't enough, the feathers spotting his jawline and the fluffy collar of feathers ringing his neck fluffed considerably. He could hide in them if he wanted to.

But, instead, he placed his hands in his pockets, tossed his hair with a smirk, and tilted his head up.]

You're going to have to come down where I can reach, Miss Rio.

[Standing on tiptoe was too girly and also? His feet weren't finished transforming, they lacked claws despite the bird-like shape, so he didn't want to risk falling trying to do something like that... (unless she thought it'd be funny to make him try).]

This happened last year, too. I suppose people just like causing mischief... for better or for worse.

[It intrigues her. All the same, she can't help it; she hesitates. She couldn't really, even in jest, could she? But Kaito even said he wanted her to be able to move on, and... it's silly to reserve herself for someone she may never have. And this isn't a commitment to anything, just a bout of fun, but even so...

There's a moment where her expression drops, then lifts up again. He's like Ryouga if he were trying to flirt, which would be off-putting if it were Ryouga. And it isn't often she's the taller one, now, is it?]

Fufu... Come get it if you want it.

[She's close, but not close enough to make it so he doesn't have to work for it.]

[Rio, no one is going to accuse you of dating a kid a couple years your junior. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe.

He wasn't expecting her to play along! She's actually coming closer, should he back off? Ah, but, he might not get a chance like this again— wait, why did she stop? Ugh, that teasing smile is met with eyes slightly narrowed in annoyance, but the smirk's still in place. Fine, if that's how she'll play it—

He reached up and pulled her down, close enough to kiss her cheek, lingering for a moment, and he won't let go of her arm even after until he whispers in her ear:] Nice try, but you won't make me stand on tip-toe. You bow.

[She makes a noise in the back of her throat that's vaguely mocking, raising her brows with interest and tilting her head back a little bit. The response is ever so regal.]

I bow to no one, thank you.

[Even with his hand on her collar, she makes no indication of discomfort. She's in control here, and it's not out of her comfort zone just yet. It's fine... right?]

It's really too bad you're still a ways away from skillful flight... I might have had you chase me in the air for it, too. Pity.

[A regal response like that... he has to look away, ah, he really is trying to hide his face in thoe feathers now; he really had pushed the boundaries of his own comfort there and what he said was embarrassing enough, but what she said... he wouldn't admit to it (he's supposed to be a man!), but he felt weak at the knees at her response. Pride was something he valued highly, his favourite Pokemon often had a regal or noble quality to them too.]

Nor do I. [Half-muffled, from behind a cover of feathers.

The proposed idea makes his eyes light up, though, and he forgets his embarrassment, a confident, lopsided smile playing on his lips.]

Won't be long now, Miss! I've got feathers already, when I've got proper wings, I'll train to fly fast and swift enough to steal a kiss, if the offer's still good.

[WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. AM and Kain somehow crossed paths and WHAT'S THIS? There is mistletoe above them. AM looks up at it, then back at Kain and smiles.]

Tell me, Kain, do they have mistletoe where you're from?

[It's a normal day in the Matsuno house.. a blanket fort downstairs with a sleeping bear, a tree rooted in their parents room below... four monsters trying to share three futons above... normal. Osomatsu gets up a little later than the rest of them, not having a job or any responsibilities keeping him from doing so and he exits his bedroom and heads down the stairs with a yawn, heading for the kitchen for something to eat.

...except, he meets Karamatsu just as he's about to leave the kitchen with a drink, and he would simply move out of the way so he can get by but for some reason, there's a mistletoe right above in the doorway and Osomatsu can't pass up the chance to fuck around with his gullible little brother.]

Woah, woah! Where do you think you're going, Shittymatsu?

[Osomatsu leans against one side of the doorframe, while slamming his hand against the other to block his brother's way. He nods his head up towards the mistletoe, and gives his brother a wide grin.]
