[ there is a large bird sitting on a rooftop up above your head. you might not notice it immediately.

but you might notice it when a snowball, unceremoniously, gets dropped right down the back of your neck - especially if you're familiar - and there's the noise of a raven cawing that sounds... suspiciously like laughter..... ]

[ or, when he's finished making mischief, there is a much more familiar half elf leaning up against a doorframe with a drink in his hand. he looks surprisingly happy just watching everyone interact, and at a familiar face or anyone who comes to lean nearby, he reaches out to hold out a mug of what looks like cider for a toast. ] Cheers.

[ or or you can find him at the holiday markets, looking at knitted baby hats with a frown on his face... or at the toys section.... very serious shopping prompts!1 ]

[ or finally you might not notice, but if you're a familiar face - adult or child, there is no discrimination in platonic affection - vax'ildan "rolled a 42 in stealth" vessar has captured one of the honing device mistletoes in his hands, and is creeping up behind whoever this familiar person is, as silent as the grave (get it) and moving slowly...

slowly....

and then before you know it, there's a sprig of mistletoe hanging right over your head and there's vax, smiling playfully, raven wings fluffed out behind him like he's pleased with himself. ]

Boo. [ lol ]
