Oh. Alright. [beat.

...] Uh, I– I wanted to tell you. I mean, you gave me homework...

[crocodilesmiles]

( She really perks up. )

Yeah? I mean, yeah! How's it been going, Marty?

[theguideless]

[fumbling:] U-uh, well! Well...I learned about the mistletoe thing. A little late, though, so...so I didn't do really well on your homework.

[crocodilesmiles]

...

( She smiiiiiiiiiiiiles. )

Yeah? That's okay, just start with telling me what you learned, you know?

[theguideless]

About the plant? [UH.] I don't think I could identify it if someone asked me to...except that it gets put over doors. And you're supposed to kiss somebody because of it.

...Do people get mad if you don't?

[crocodilesmiles]

I don't know if mad's the word... it's more like people can be surprised! Usually in the good way.

( She hopes the bad way is comedic. )

Why? Did that part come up for you, too?

[theguideless]

N-no, nothing like that. I found out a little late...

[crocodilesmiles]

Who says it's too late?

[theguideless]

That was part of what I learned. It's for a month? One of the ones that's already gone.

[crocodilesmiles]

December, traditionally, but why not make new traditions while we're here?

[theguideless]

[a beat. with a meek bit of laugh in his voice:] That sounds like something Sayaka would say.

[crocodilesmiles]

Which sounds like a good thing, so we definitely should do this!

[theguideless]

Ouh, I don't– I mean, I wouldn't, uh–

[crocodilesmiles]

Great! I'll go find something like mistletoe to get the mood set, and we can get working on this quick as you can say please!

[theguideless]

[WAH–] Collette, wait!

[crocodilesmiles]

See you soon, Marty!

[theguideless]

No, nono, wait! [AAAA.] Please wait! Hello?

[crocodilesmiles]

( Long gone, my friend. She is so way long gone! )

[theguideless]

[...:(....8(]

I, I wasn't done...

[crocodilesmiles]
