[This sure is a doorway somewhere on the Iskaulit and they sure are stuck here.]

Did you miss this tradition? Because I definitely didn't.

[Don't mind him, he'll get over the grumbling in a second. He just has to get it out of his system.]

[passingthrough]

Mmm, miss is too strong a word. I am still somewhat numb to the violation of it all and willing enough to kiss cute guys to keep myself mobile? [She doesn't want to kiss a grumbly guy. She's perfectly happy to let him work it out first.]

I could have sworn there was no mistletoe over this door earlier.

[scanninggaydis]

That's not surprising. I'm sure it pops up randomly. Probably reappears if you try to clear it too.

[He sighs.]

I just don't understand why now. It hasn't happened before, right?

[passingthrough]

I'm thinking you're right. It's shifting around. [She sighs.] Of course it is.

[She shakes her head.] Haven't been randomly kissed by so many people since I was back in the prison. Cisco put some mistletoe out one year but it was the regular, non-enforcing kind.

[scanninggaydis]

[...He actually laughs. Just a little.]

I remember how many worried questions he got about that.

[Felix was definitely among them.

He sighs, rolls his shoulders and then half-smiles at Kitty.]

Okay, well. What's one more, right?

[There, see, system purged of grumbling. For now.]

[passingthrough]

So many of us out here feeling personally attacked by a plant. [She smiles back at him.]

Well, with a sentiment like that one, consider me swept off my feet. [Lightly teasing. She knows this is hard on everyone. She mostly doesn't take it personally when people are put out by it.]

[scanninggaydis]

If you actually want to be swept, I could probably try harder.

[Teasing back. He's not that interested in her and he's pretty sure the feeling is mutual? Probably. Actually he has no idea.]

[passingthrough]

Is that all it takes? [She smiles at him. He's not wrong. It's not like she's been pining for him or that her love life isn't already complicated and then some. Not that she'd be opposed necessarily, but their dynamic hasn't felt like it's going there.]

Maybe just a kiss for the road? Or for the freedom anyway.

[scanninggaydis]

Sure. A kiss for the freedom.

[Felix steps in and puts his hand lightly on her shoulders before he leans in to kiss her. Maybe because he's absolutely sure she has no interest in him, it's actually not that hard to make this...pleasant but impersonal? It's a solid kiss, but there's no passion behind it.]

[passingthrough]

[She kisses back in much the same way. It doesn't feel like she's about to taking off his clothes, but she's not limply pressing her lips to his either. Might as well have a nice kiss before they part ways. Besides, wouldn't want word on the street to be that she's a bad kisser. Not that he's likely to be telling campfire stories about this moment. Or maybe he is. She doesn't know what he does for fun. She pulls back after a respectable amount of time.]

Think that did the trick?
