[Giotto was on the lookout for any and all Christmas decorations that could possibly be the magical kissing sort, because he really did not want to be kissed. The only problem with this plan was the castle was filled with Christmas decorations and really, it could be anything. Maybe the safest place was outside the castle itself, even though it had seemed to get cold overnight. It couldn't honestly decorate the town, could it?

And he could sense the boy in the library, possibly trying to avoid the exact same thing. Usually he also hid in the library, but he didn't want to scare him like last time. And since he was not in the town, the town seemed like the best place to go for the day.

Also, Ino lived in town. Perhaps he would run into her and apologize for how rude he had been to her a few days ago. He had been upset, yes, but that didn't mean he could make little of her problems or shut the journal on her.

So he bundled himself up in a black long coat and a scarf, and walked down to the lobby. Of course, he has no idea that nutcrackers are the magical kissing decorations, and that they literally have populated the lobby and that by passing through there, he has left himself completely open to being kissed by anyone who would walk by him.]

[wishmadeinfire]

Yes, it is a bit... unnerving that way. But if you look at it as harmless pranks, it is a bit easier to handle. And over time, it becomes mundane, even expected.

[is_mafia]

I would imagine so, if you have been here long enough. I have only been here under a month, though.

[wishmadeinfire]

Aaah, then you must have arrived whilst I was sleeping, or come shortly after I woke.

_{[He nodded.]}

Yes, it is a cause for distress the first few times, but this is not the first nor will it be your last. Who knows, you might come to like those you kiss.

_{[He laughed, thinking of himself and Felix, his smile fond on his face as he touched a ring on his finger.]}

[is_mafia]

[Another person with a sleeping loss? The castle must favor them.]

Possibly not. And...I highly doubt that. [He notices the ring, though, and gives a small smile.] Though it may have been different for you.

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, let us say it was a help.

_{[He chuckled and moved his coat in tighter once more.]}

What were you planning to do? Just head into town and find a place to hide a few days?

[is_mafia]

Ah, just for the day to avoid them. I do not mind the cold.

What were you planning on doing outside?

[wishmadeinfire]

I want to go into the town. It is about time I switch the flowers I have for the winter weather flowers to decorate the suite.

[is_mafia]

[Excuse him, but he's giving Ashura a confused look.] And that is...important?

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, it is not dire, no, but I enjoy having nature within the walls of the Castle. Back home, my chambers were always open to the air and to nature. I cannot quite do that here, but I can make attempts without driving Felix mad.

[is_mafia]

[His look of confusion turns more into a smile at that.] Yes, I can see where that would be comforting.

[wishmadeinfire]

It just brings a little bit of home, to me, even though the plants are not of my world. I used to have a bird that reminded me of home too, but he got left behind, I am afraid.

[is_mafia]

[he looks over again.] What do you mean, 'got left behind'?

[wishmadeinfire]

Well, perhaps that is not the right term. However, before you came here, quite a few months ago there was... an incident. A flash of light, blinding, really. It... seemed to shift a part of this world. Some things got left behind, though much of it made it.
