[Perona's still expecting something to happen - maybe a delayed reaction or something, but is pleasantly surprised to find that she is safe from having her emotional state altered like it was the prior times she'd been trapped. It was a nice change to things definitely. Kissing people was annoying, but she could accept it after a bit of complaining and whining. Being forced to kiss a complete stranger when she wasn't in control of herself was inexcusable and unforgivable.
screwing up her face at the remark, Perona turns her scoff into an airy laugh. Quick and a little harsh. Is he joking?]
Stunned, more like. [The hand gripping her own is not turned down, and she allows the motion. In all honesty, it's refreshing having someone with a grain of class and wit in his head gracing her with a kiss than a toothless swine. Eugh...] Oi, oi, chivalry still exists...another thing to be stunned about.
[Making an attempt to step out of the mistletoe a moment after the kiss is placed to the back of her hand, the young woman even gives her gent's hand a tug as well, so he doesn't get stuck under there in her place or something.]
[He gives an amused grin at her reaction, spreading his arms in a shrug.]
Chivalry, you say? And here I thought that I was only taking the more hygienic route. [He says with a smirk.] Now, let's see if it was successful.
[His boots were made for walking, and that's just what he'll do, as he moves following Perona's touch. ...If the mistletoe is truly satiated, that is.]
[December 26 - January 1st: Mistletoe Event] - RNG SAID NO.
[Unfortunately, while Perona also gives him another yank, Jade's boots aren't going to be walking anywhere. The mistletoe above him does not seem appeased by the pitiful offering it was given and, feeling cheated, it's going to lock him in place. Not only that, but Perona's not going anywhere either, which was her intent the moment she saw her daring gent was stuck where she once was. Their locked hands bond them together.]
What the--oi! [Hi, she's going to shake, squirm, and pull on that hand of yours, Mr. Curtiss.] What the hell is this?! Why am I stuck again, I paid the price for freedom!

[And so they are halted. Jade frowns as he glances around. The mistletoe is still in effect; his experiment has provided negative effects.
He lets out a soft sigh as she tugs on his hand. He's used to such treatment from Anise. So once he has a chance to speak, he goes on with a teasing smirk.]
Oh? If I recall correctly, I'm the only one who provided something. Regardless, this proves that this mistletoe has no particular tolerance for chastity. I suppose that we now have only one choice.

[Perona bites back the response of "remove your arm?", by puffing up her cheeks in a beautifully childish display of sour grapes. This is insanity...she thought she was getting off easy this time, but looks like she'll have to smack lips yet again. At least she's a (grudgingly) willing participant this time around. And this guy isn't like some of the others she happened to kiss, either. He's kind of annoying, but at least he's handsome...]
Don't sound so excited about it. [Gross.] You're just as stuck as I am now, and you did me a favor earlier...so this is my repaying that favor.
[And then some, if you ask her. Perona still looks a little unhappy, but at least she can agree to do this when she knows there isn't another option that doesn't involve dismemberment. Sighing, she closes the distance, gives him a quick, judging look up and down, then presses her lips against this old guy's lips for a brief two seconds. If that doesn't satisfy the stupid plant, she'll blow it to pieces, points be damned.]

[He gives a neutral glance towards her and keeps his hands within his pockets as he takes the kiss - leaning down if she it's needed for her to reach his lips. All he provides back is a soft peck before Perona's done.]
It seems we've conducted a fair trade. Perhaps this satisfies the lecherous plant.
