And there was a perfectly unexploded tavern. [Dec 1 2015 1:30 PM]

[Viv]

"Aw, that's a cute - oh."

Viv pauses as her face goes pink.

"For. Um. Overworld traditions. Does that work?"

[Wizwik]

"Well back in the Dwarven mountains they had it up and about...so Ya I'm sure it works~" he smiles big and plants a small kiss on Viv's cheek "Happy Highwinter Viv~"

[Viv]

"Well, in case it, um, has to work both ways - "

Viv goes on her toes and pecks Wizwik's cheek.

"Um, Happy Highwinter to you too, Wizwik," she says, face still pink.

[Wizwik]

-Wizwik blushes more red- "Best Highwinter so far~...-sigh-...shame you cant just stay here with me in Ralinwood...but now it's only fair I come and visit Jerico again~ Maybe this time there wont be a Demon Carnival~" he chuckles

[Dandelion Bobbin]

Dande sits alone at a table in the tavern,a bottle shaped package labeled "Wizwik" sits on the table. Dande says nothing and quietly gets up package in hand and walks over to the gnomes. Dande tries to hide tears and hands Wizwik the bottle. "H-happy--" she it's her lip and starts to cry. She thrusts the bottle into his hands and runs out of the tavern toward the forest.

[Viv]

Viv nervously opens her mouth to say something, then sees Dandelion and watches the Hobling drop the gift and run away.

"...what's her malfunction?"

[Ishtaar]

Ishtaar steps into the tavern, as the hobbling darts away. He shakes his head and takes a seat at a table.

"Folk need ta be slowin' down 'round 'ere. Far t'high strung."

[Wizwik]

-Wizwik holds the bottle and looks off to Dande- "...we dated for a while...it wasn't long...she still has feeling's for me..." -looks back to Viv- "Regardless of what just happened and everything that did happen, even through all the hardships we Gnomes face above ground...It makes it all worth while knowing I got you to talk to~ Hopefully one day I'll reach your level of technological mastery of Gnomish Tinkering...and together we will prove to the world how awesome Gnomes are!" he said smiling big

[Viv]

Viv looks back at where Dande ran, then gives Wizwik the subtle but universal "you did WHAT" look, before giving a small giggle.

"Yeah! You'll get better here, for sure! Adversity breeds ingenuity!"

Viv gives Wizwik a big grin.

"Well, I suppose...I should get going...unless you want to walk with me to the portal...thing?"

[Wizwik]

Wizwik smiles and shrugs "It's the reason I need you in my life to make sure I don't lose my head again~...Of course I'll walk with you to it~" When wizwik walks Viv to the portal, before she leaves he plants a quick kiss on her lips, blushing red and rubs the back of his head looking away "That's for a promise we'll see each other again ok?~"
