[this just in: Who Does Kashuu Think He Is

Lili's still in the middle of puzzling it out when he arrives, honestly. Then there's not really time for her to answer - it's probably just some task that she figures Kashuu can handle and she doesn't want to do it herself - because then he's stepping forward and her immediate response is to take the magazine that's in her hands and

shove it into his face]

Personal space.

[SWORDS!!!

Kashuu in particular is awful but that's why she doesn't feel bad about this at all. Then she's back to looking up at the mistletoe and humming thoughtfully.]

So you know what it is?

Hey—!

[A little muffled behind the magazine, and he's batting it away soon after. Rude. When will he just learn to respect personal space so he can avoid these problems... (Never, obviously.)

But he's distracted from his pity party of one when she says that, making a little noise of surprise. It's not like he actually thought Lili called him over for a Christmas smooch, and he wouldn't have been surprised if it was some other punk sword that did this, but she doesn't even know what it is?]

Uh, duh. It's only one of the cutest parts of Christmas ever! C'mon, shouldn't you be more on top of the whole holiday traditions thing than we are?

[There's a lot of rude happening here and not a lot of reprieve.

Still though there's a moment where she goes over his words and then huffs. Okay, she's a little embarrassed to be called out on something that she doesn't know but! Listen!]

I don't have time to know everything. I have to prioritize.

So are you going to tell me what it is or not?

[kashuu please!!]

[So basically: just another Tuesday in the life of Lili and Kashuu.

ANYWAY!! Now that he actually has to explain what mistletoe is, he's too embarrassed?! His earlier joke would have been funny if she got it, but she didn't, and now he'll just look like a weirdo if he has to detail out what he had meant! No, no, that's no good.]

Just look it up or something! Don't you have one of those smart whatevers?

Why?

[amazing that they're just passing the Embarrassed back and forth but Lili's actually tilting her head, puzzled by this one.]

You're standing right here and clearly know what it is - just tell me.

[??? why are you making things more difficult]

[NOPE, HE'S NOT DOING IT. He's not putting himself up on that sacrificial alter, it's not his time to go.]

More importantly, have you thought about what you're gonna get me for Christmas this year?

[So he'll just segue by being embarrassing in a different direction...]

Don't answer my question with a question.

Who do you think you are?

[the answer is not to pile another question on top of another question, Lili!!]

I'll tell you if I have if you tell me what this stupid weed is!

[Wow, really!! They're just going to turn this into an endless questions competition at this rate.]

Tell me first, and then I'll tell you!

[But would he really, or would he just blast outta here like Team Rocket as soon as she said anything.]

You don't get to make the rules?!

[amazing how this is just the most impossible thing ever]

Then I guess you're just gonna have to look it up on your own.

[A SHRUG, and then his brazen ass actually turns to leave. When you feel too comfortable with your aruji...]

[wtf no

she's seizing him by the arm because this is Lili and she's prone to getting physical when she's irritated which is

right about now]

What? Kashuu, stop that!

[At least he doesn't mind it, because he's Kashuu and he needs Help™. But he's also vaguely irritated!! Only a little though, since he's still focused on goal #1 which is to avoid the heck out of explaining mistletoe at all costs.]

Will you tell me?

That should be my question, shouldn't it?

[Honestly. Though she's shaking her head and using both hands to pull on his arm now, tugging him back because even if he won't explain what this nonsense is, she still has a task for him.]

Not that I lose anything... so I promise I will if you promise to tell me what this thing is.

[No, it's definitely his question!!

He's also now adamantly avoiding being pulled under the mistletoe, because wow, imagine that double embarrassment. He's not suave enough to intentionally pull off a move like explaining what it is while actually standing under it, so he just sort of. Stands there, refusing to budge.]

I promise too, but you have to go first, okay?

[Like, what if she decides not to get him anything because of this!! Then he'd have to cry into his pillow all Christmas day.]

[Why is he so much stronger than her.

Here's Lili, still trying to pull him with absolutely zero success because she's determined and stubborn if absolutely nothing else. So there's a slight huff even as she agrees.]

Fine.

[And because she thinks they've already wasted so much time:]

Of course I know what I'm getting you. It's already ordered, but I'm waiting for it to arrive in town so I can pick it up. It's -

[It's something that she put a lot of thought into - like her gifts for all the swords, really - so treasure it!

.... is what she wants to say but.]

... Y-You'll probably like it!

[nice.]

[Oh.

Actually, he looks a little surprised for a second! For all his fussing about wanting gifts and praise and compliments, getting them is still kind of A Big Deal™ for him, okay. This is enough to temporarily distract him from the doorway weed decoration fiasco, even!

Look at this goober, he seems touched even when refusing to move...! And then, like the sap he is:]

If it's something you picked out just for me, there's no way I wouldn't, y'know? I'd like anything you give me, 'cause I like you.

[How is it that he finds saying things like this less embarrassing than talking about holiday kisses.]

[It's still embarrassing.

It's definitely still embarrassing and Lili knows that all the swords would say similar things to her - it's nice, how they're all so endlessly supportive in a way that she's not used to - but it doesn't make it any less heart-warming or sappy or... you know, generally terrible for her heart.]

I...

[- like you too. Oh. Nope? Not saying it? Okay.]

E-Even if you say that...!

I wanted to put more thought into it... because - [you deserve it] - it would be lazy otherwise!

[shit]

[One day. ONE DAY he'll work up to getting Lili to say something back that isn't a deflection or that doesn't devolve into tsunbabble.]

Right, right - and the last thing you are is lazy, huh?

[Unlike THIS PUNK RIGHT HERE.]

Well! I'll just have to appreciate it even more, then. 'Cause you put thought into it.

[she worked herself into a corner

she opens her mouth to first try something like "I didn't put too much thought into it!" but no, she just... said something otherwise didn't she. mmm, can't contradict herself like that.

and then she's trying to swerve, move over to "you should appreciate it anyway!" but no... if he doesn't like it, then she wants to know the honest truth

fuck

so here it is, the culmination of her contemplation:]

Sh-Shut up!

[red-faced and embarrassed

she's beauty, she's grace, she can't tell you she likes you to your face]

I think out of all the faces you make, that one's one of my all-time favorites!

[HE'S JUST HERE MAKING IT WORSE LIKE THE ASSBUTT HE IS.]

Is it too early to say thanks? 'Cause I kind of want to. Maybe I can just thank you for this totally priceless expression, instead.

[SO MUCH WORSE.

She's getting all the way up to her ears and you know what, she's going to let go of him - dammit - to cover her face with both hands as if that'll be able to limit his enjoyment here?]

Don't thank me for that, you moron?!

[WHAT DID SHE DO TO DESERVE THIS]

Too late, too late! I've basically already said it and I don't take my thanks back.

[A PUNK, A REAL PUNK. He reaches out to tap the back of one of her Hand Shields, apparently having forgotten about his plant crisis of a few minutes earlier.]

Hey, don't hide your face like that, though.

[Kashuu, why!!

Her Hand Shields open up - or at least the spaces between her fingers do so that she can peek through them, her eyes narrowed in distrust even as she's definitely still embarrassed.]

Don't tell me what to do...

What's it matter to you?

I can't see your cute expressions when you cover it up like that! That's why it matters.

[He states, very matter-of-factly... WELL, AT LEAST HE'S HONEST. A little too honest sometimes, but hey, they all have their faults... or something.]

[aaaaaAAAAAAAA]

Who do you think you are?!

[okay that manages to get her hands to pull away from her face but mostly because they're getting balled into fists because apparently

if you compliment her, lili is here to fight you??? ok.]

D-Don't say things like that to me!
