International Kissing Day meme thing

[misheard]

It's International Kissing Day! Obviously that means there has to be a meme.

1. Reply with your character name and canon in the subject line.
2. Reply to someone else with a thread that, at some point, involves kisses.
3. Kisses do not have to be romantic/on the lips!

[There were few survivors of the Vault who could reasonably have attended this fancy dress ball in Caren's kingdom, but Cherryblod certainly could. In an even more dapper suit than usual, he approached Caren, and bent to lightly kiss the back of her hand.]

Good evening, dear.

[lackinginfaith]

[Caren nods at him. Like most of the others around her, she's wearing a weird split layered skirt, a bunch more jewelry, and the jewel-studded shell bra Sigrun got twenty copies of in the Vault; she's still differentiated by her pendant having wings on the shell instead of leaving it plain and by actually wearing a crown for once.]

It's good to see you. I couldn't invite as many of you as I wanted, but you know how it goes.

[cherryblooded]

[He's smiling as he straightens up.]

Sigrun sends her regards and wants me to tell her when I get back if anyone spiked the punch. Had to tell her it wasn't likely to be that kind of party.

Lobco has a cold, so she's staying home to help watch the boys.

[lackinginfaith]

You know, I would ask if spiking the punch was even possible down here, but we manage to simulate fountains and actually have beverages stay in their cups, so it could happen. Tell Lobco I hope she gets well soon. That can't be fun.

[cherryblooded]

Will be sure to let her know.

[Poor Lobco and the sudden change in climate didn't mix well.]

In the meantime, I'm sure you're terribly busy tonight, but I was wondering if you could spare the time for one dance with me?

[lackinginfaith]

I don't see why not. I'll end up dancing with the entire party by the end of the night anyway, and I've got to be better than Klinklang.

[cherryblooded]

I'm going to tell Klinklang you said that.

[Still, he holds a hand out to her.]

[lackinginfaith]

All right, all right, it's very cute and it doesn't deserve that.

[She takes it and starts in, and she does indeed know what she's doing, even if she. Doesn't have legs.]

[cherryblooded]

[That's what he thought.

As evidenced on previous occasions, Cherryblod knows what he's doing and can adapt for a legless partner.]

Have you done this often?

[lackinginfaith]

Yes, actually. I've gone to a lot of these.

[she's. she's kind of royalty.]

You must have, too.

[cherryblooded]

A few, over the years.

[Hang on, he's gonna twirl her.]

Doloz and I dance together whenever we get the opportunity.

[lackinginfaith]

...I'm going to assume that it's rude to ask how.

[cherryblooded]

Been asked ruder things.

[Much ruder.]

Dancing's really only moving in sync. Even if it's a little hard for me to hold her pincers, we can still tear up the dance floor.

[lackinginfaith]

Were things in your old home mainly made for people her size?

[cherryblooded]

In our house? Yes. In general? The ceilings were higher, but the shelves and such were actually lower. We had very short adult women in my world, I think three foot something was not too uncommon?

[lackinginfaith]

That sounds extremely inconvenient for everyone, actually.

[cherryblooded]

It's inconvenient being thirty feet long and not having opposable thumbs.

[lackinginfaith]

Life must be hard. She seems so cheerful, though.

[cherryblooded]

That's because my ♥ honey is the most indomitable woman I've ever met. And I know Sigrun Eide.

[lackinginfaith]

That's got to be a feat.

[cherryblooded]

Exactly my point.

[lackinginfaith]

I hope you're okay, though. That world's got to be tough on you, too.

[cherryblooded]

I'm made of tough stuff. Not to say that Lobco isn't, but it'll take more than the cold to take me down.

[lackinginfaith]

That's true, and I know you can fight a monster if you have to.

[cherryblooded]

Sounds like fun, really.
