1. Pick one of your characters.
2. Pick one of my characters (or have me surprise you).
3. There's mistletoe! It can be magical or traditional, but ideally the thread will end in Christmas smooches.
4. Profit.

[Maybe it's her mood. Maybe she's a little more drunk than she should be to be opening up to a stranger under the mistletoe. But she asks it anyway.]

Do you ever think you can really out run it? Or are you just pretending?

[interpersonally]

That depends on the day. Something always draws me back eventually. But I don't think that takes away from anything I experience away.

[Allison nods. She's not ready to stop running yet. But part of her does really ache for people that actually care about her, rather than the sycophants she's created around herself.]

[interpersonally]

Pretty good one, yeah.

( Every chance at this point. He will go where she goes! )

[rumorate]

Good.

[And off they'll go to get to know each other better.]
