Skit 3: Expressions of friendship

[protosshaze]

Wow, everyone here must really like each other. They're all so friendly. I wish Richard was here. Then he and Asbel can express their friendship like everyone else in the castle.

Express their friendship....? How do you mean?

[protosshaze]

By kissing each other. That's what everyone else is doing.

[peacockherald]

Ah, I think perhaps you misunderstand. The kissing is from a magical item in the castle. It's not something they do normally. Unless the friendship is quite special, you would not kiss your friends in such a way most people are.

[protosshaze]

Oh. So the people kissing aren't really friends?

[peacockherald]

Well, some of them might be, yes, but friends do not normally kiss. Kissing is... for someone more special.

[protosshaze]

Someone more special?

[peacockherald]

Yes, someone whom you care about as more than a friend.

[protosshaze]

Like family?

[peacockherald]

Well, yes, and no. It's how you feel about someone - you know - when you love them, but more than you love a friend.

[protosshaze]

But then it's a good thing.

[wheatdos]

Oh... oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear.

[He chuckles.]

If only...! Are you new here, love?

[He should probably pay more attention to these things... but she was a new voice.]

[protosshaze]

I came here just before we went to the ninja village.

D i c t a t e d ; ;

[wheatdos]

Oh really?
Ehe. Shame! I didn't get to give you my introduction speech. It's a good introduction speech, by the way. Well written. Wr-wrote it myself.

Anyway, you wouldn't mind... uh, defining what you mean by friendly do you?

[Because through his experience, they were ANYTHING but friendly.]

D i c t a t e d ; ;

[protosshaze]

A person who will always care about you no matter what.

D i c t a t e d ; ;

[wheatdos]

Oh wow.

[He pauses for a moment to think about that.]

That sounds... really nice, actually.
Is that-- is that how everyone in the castle is?

[There's a big misunderstanding right about now.]

[lordoflhant]

Sophie! That's not really...how we express friendship...

[ oh wow this sure is uncomfortable now ]

[peacockherald]

Oh, of course it is. It i just, there is a difference, and what is happening around the castle now is not entirely by anyone's choice.

[protosshaze]

That must be hard for them.

D i c t a t e d ; ;

[protosshaze]

I'm not sure. I hope so.

[protosshaze]

But it looks like everyone like it.

[not_mafia]

Express their friendship, Sophie-san? [que]

[peacockherald]

Well, I imagine it is an inconvenience, but no one is really hurt by it, I think.

[protosshaze]

Haven't you seen them, Tsuna? Everyone is kissing.

[protosshaze]

Oh, okay.

[peacockherald]

Don't worry to much about it. Have you been kissed yet, Sophie?
