[Tachibana hums, listening to the full list before nodding.]
I think that seems like a good way to take them on.
[Painting is probably the skill he has the least confidence in truthfully.]

Right. No slacking now.
[He chuckles, accepting the costume with a smile.]
Don't worry, I think I can handle it. It'll only take me a minute. I'll meet you out in front of the office.

No... I don't suppose there's much reason to ask why or how. Everything lately seems to go beyond reason.
[Still, he smiles.]
I'm glad to see you've avoided become part of the holiday decorations thus far.

Tradition. Yes... Hmm.
[Tachibana makes a thoughtful humming noise.]
Well there's one way to find out.
[Is this really happening?]

Taking things to the extreme, I think, is a specialty here. Although I'm relatively new to the experience.
[Although it seems like a quick judgment, he feels like it's fairly justified with the things he's seen.]

[Unfortunately that's not something he's immediately aware of-- pinpointing the movement seems like a difficult task even with sight in tact.]
It appears to be the decorations. You might want to take a step back.

Okay, we can make the gingerbread house first. Where do you want to make it? We can go get the ingredients and carry it back there. Oh, we should probably decide how big we want to make it too. I don't think it has to be really big. How big do you think we should make it?
[Kuramochi can relate, painting isn't his strong suit either, but he can bake! The gingerbread house sounds like something up his alley.]

We probably don't want to get too carried away-- the bigger it gets, the harder it will probably be to keep it together. A foot or so seems reasonable.
As for where... we can use my kitchen. There's more than enough counter space.
[As lawyers go he's not the most extravagant, but there are some perks he enjoys.]

Yeah.
[ Kiryu chuckles a bit awkwardly. It's cool!! Majima wouldn't mind..... Tachibana's just a hot lawyer, it's nbd.
Plus I mean, Kiryu's going to lean in and try for the most chase kiss imaginable, crush or not. ]

[It's cute, honestly.
Well, chaste or not that did indeed happen.
Feeling bad however will have to wait until he's aware Kiryu's taken (and by whom, in it's own right). That aside--]
Well. That seems to have done the trick.
[Listen to the beautiful silence.]

[ Hmmmm yes now seems like a great time for..............
"..."
"..............."
I want this awkward pause to truly matter so I'm gonna break it into parts. ]

[ Anyway, Kiryu clears his throat. Tachibana has no clue Kiryu's dating Majima so it's fine. If anybody's being weird, it's Kiryu.
But Majima's fine with Kiryu flirting as long as it doesn't mean anything, right? Which it definitely did not mean. Anything. Yep! ]
It sure did. Wonder how they got them to play music like that.
[ Yes, this seems like a good subject. ]

[Kiryu.
Kiryu that awkward pause is really, really noticeable.
Are you okay? I mean... it's not like Tachibana can say he's not affected, but he does a significantly better job of keeping that internalized. The butterflies can stay in his stomach. He'll be happy just to keep cool outside.
Someone on the other hand is not doing so good.]
...I suppose it could be similar to what you'd expect of a parrot. They played the music over and over and they learned to imitate it...
[Okay but. Should he ask about that weirdness earlier? He's not sure he should ask. Maybe it's better he doesn't ask.]
Well. They shouldn't bother you anymore now.

[ HE'S FINE........... ]
That might be it. They don't really follow logic, considering...
[ He gestures at one of the bats, vaguely. They're made of plants, there's a lot that doesn't make sense. ]
I guess so. [ Let's go back to sounding cool and stoic, Kiryu. You can do this. ] Mistletoe, am I right?
[ Nailed it. ]

I'm not sure my luck will last very long. I still have a great deal of Christmas shopping to do. [A little grimace.] And I have a company dinner in a few hours, the venue of which will no doubt be decorated enough for three houses. I might not make it to the end of the night.
The decorations are...?
[Yes, definitely taking a giant step backward out of alarm.]
[Yes, definitely taking a giant step backward out of alarm.]
That sounds like a good idea. I don't know how to make a bigger one or how to keep it together either.
[Kuramochi perks at the mention of counter space. While he doesn't mind cooking at home he did wonder how he was going to make it work. That's one last thing he has to think about now.]
Okay, we can go get the ingredients then bring it back to your place. Too bad we can't really taste it at least we can make it look good. Um, you ever made one before? I haven't made one in a while.

Okay! I'll give you ten minutes than one.
[Or else she'll truly come on over and drag him out! Okay, maybe not! She most likely would prod him until he sped it up. Whatever the case, she'll head on over to the front of the office as instructed. She may just be using the chance to announce to any and all those passing by about visiting Santa at the North Pole.]

[It doesn't take him long to change-- he doesn't doubt that if he was even half a minute late she'd have come looking. Still, he chuckles to see her enthusiastically telling those walking by about the activities.]
We should get going ourselves. It would be bad if everyone got excited and beat us there.

[It's good to talk about, while they take a walk to get the last ingredients they needed. He had a lot of the basics, but things like icing and decorations they'd need to pick up. Maybe some extra butter since it's a bigger project...]
Honestly, it's been a while. But I made them before with my sister. Well-- more like I made the house and she decorated it.
[They'd had their roles and he accepted it.]
I will say, however, I haven't had one fall apart on me yet.

That does seem awfully difficult.
[That last one seems like it could be the end of her luck if nothing else.]
However, if you were planning on finishing up some shopping, I might be able to offer you a second set of eyes. In all honesty I still need to find something for my sister and a few friends.

I'm not certain if it's certain ones or what but-- it seems the decorations have a mind of their own now.
[Between this and the mistletoe bats, nothing seems safe honestly.]

[There was nothing cool or stoic about that Kiryu.
Tachibana is trying hard not to laugh, because that would be rude considering Kiryu's trying so hard. However-- he's trying too hard and it's kind of adorable.]
Quite.
[Okay maybe a joke will help lighten the poor man's stress.]
Not very lucky, are you?
[Did it work?]

Well thank you for the warning.
[With how dangerous this place can be, he's honestly thankful that so many people watch out for him when even HE can't watch out for himself.]
My name is Light Averly. Or Snake if that's easier to remember. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with?
