I see.

[ and he supposes that, per Atroma rules, they can't escape its pull unless they comply. ]

Aren't you too young for that though?

[the_tailor]

[Of course not. It's the Atroma, after all.]

Too young for what exactly?

[dothelokimotion]

Kissing?

[ what are teen ages anyway. ]

[the_tailor]

What...? No! What the heck, I'm 19, more than that even but time's all wibbly wobbly, that is definitely not too young to kiss. I have a boyfriend of over a year now and we have totally definitely kissed!

[And more, but that's not something to be discussed in public.]

[dothelokimotion]

Ah. I can never tell with younger humans.

[ and they're weird about things like drinking age and so forth. ]

[the_tailor]

You could have boyfriends and girlfriends and kiss when you're like 15 or something. I mean, there's no hard coded age, but I think that's about the average youngest age or something.

[Listen to Lance the teacher!]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods. such knowledge! ]

It is hard to tell your ages at first glance.

[the_tailor]

[A prime source of knowledge and wisdom, this one.]

Well, if it means anything, it would've been impossible for me to tell yours. I would've guessed late twenties, maybe thirty, before I knew who you were.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods. ]

We do not age much further once we hit a century. The process slows down completely.

[the_tailor]

That'll do it, then. I guess. I can't say I really know a lot about gods.

[He shrugs, then glances up at the mistletoe again.]

Er... As a friendly neighborhood paladin, I feel like I should ask, do you need help with that?

[dothelokimotion]

It seems we both do, to leave.

[ but . . . he appreciates that it was phrased in a way that deigns to help loki. most people wouldn't bother. ]

[the_tailor]

Right. So. Uh. ...Cheek kiss?

[God, this is so weird.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks vaguely bemused. ]

Or we'll keep it simple.

[ he bends slightly to kiss lance's forehead, brushing some of his hair back. ]

There.

[the_tailor]

Okay. Yeah. That works.

[He waves his hand out to the side, not feeling the barrier.]

Woohoo, victory!

[dothelokimotion]

That was rather easy.

[ he wonders if the fleet is having a harder time with it or not. ]

[the_tailor]

Yeah, it was. I mean, I guess the not-easy part comes if you end up stuck under these with someone you hate.

[Like...ew, being under one of these with Lotor, or even worse, Haggar.]

[dothelokimotion]

All the more reason to be in control instead of fretting. Otherwise, you're simply adding to the Atroma's amusement of your situation.

[the_tailor]

That's a very valid point. Objectively. Subjectively, I still might end up screaming.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs. ]

Well, no one will stop you.

[the_tailor]

Good point. Anyway, uh, glad we've got this all solved.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he snorts lightly. ]

It wasn't exactly difficult.

[the_tailor]

Well, yeah! But still! Gotta take tiny accomplishments where you get them. It all adds up.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks bemused. ]

This is an accomplishment?

[the_tailor]

Getting out of a trap? Of course it is!

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not sure this constitutes as much of a trap.
