[ Likewise, Maria is almost entirely bluster when she's been caught off her guard. But the observation comes easily enough, her sudden companion (and perhaps fellow captive?) sprightly enough in demeanor to not set her off. A short breath leaves her, and Maria's gaze flicks up in time with the gesture. ]
I see it. I'm afraid it's not a hallucination or anything of the sort, unless we're both stuck in the same dream.
[ Gaze lowering and squaring on the other woman, maybe Maria doesn't mind the implication. ]
Perhaps someone's love of decorating got the better of them, hm?
[Ah Christmas. The time of year for friendship, togetherness, and division Christmas parties that force angry, sentient marshmallows to be social. S.O.N.G. had never been the kind of place to avoid standing on celebration, as evidenced by the "welcome" parties for new members, and Christmas was no exception. And of course a high tech submarine is the perfect place to hold something like that, right?
Right.
Nevertheless, Chris was being the ultimate wallflower. Not because of the usual issues with friendship and togetherness... Chris was already comfortable with these people. No, it was because someone had put mistletoe up everywhere and the usual suspects (read Hibiki, Miku, Shirabe, and Kirika) were being their usual selves about it.
But it was a bit different this time. Seeing how comfortable they all were with each other, Chris couldn't help but sigh in a manner that almost seemed wistful. Not to mention, the corner she'd parked herself in was adorned with mistletoe all the same. It's almost as if she wanted a bit of attention herself because Yukine Chris can't do anything without being absolutely tsundere about it.]

I believe its origins are found in European folklore. [ She recovers the moment quickly, with an almost sinuous ease. ] Much like an olive branch.
[ If she were a bit closer, that upswing in his heartbeat might as well be palpable... ]
It seems we regard it a little more frivolously now, doesn't it?

Some do. I don't.

That's a shame.

Why is it a shame?

( The comment is mostly under her breath and to herself. She isn't sure if this lady would appreciate something that corny. )
Whatever the reason, we can't...just ignore it, right? It would be awful to ignore tradition.
