Getting a kiss from Sebek beneath the mistletoe took three tries.

At first, he happened to find himself beneath it with you. He hadn't heard of the plant, nor the tradition, so he was rather confused by the looks and whistles of onlookers, and simply walked away.

When word had reached Lilia, he all but laughed in Sebek's face, explaining the tradition with comical tears in his eyes. Sebek felt foolish for not being informed of such traditions, being half-human himself.

The second incident was outside school— a chance encounter in a store selling trinkets. This time, Sebek knew, and this time his face went blood red. For once, his booming voice was silenced and he... fled the scene in a hurry. He can't even remember if he'd bothered with an excuse.

And once again, he found himself at the tail end of Lilia's jokes. Though this time, the vice housewarden had given him advice. Try initiating it; you'll feel more comfortable if you know what's going to happen.

Sebek valued any advice bestowed upon him by Master Lilia, so the next day, he waited beneath a mistletoe patiently until you passed by.

He didn't give you a moment to process, “If it does not bother you—!” He put a fist to his chest and quickly bowed, as if making a request. Sebek would rather be formal and loud than a nervous, bumbling mess, attributes unbecoming of a knight.

“—may I please have a kiss?” He spoke with his whole chest, trying to prove the depth of his emotion and the genuineness behind his intentions. Sebek would not hesitate when it came to his beliefs, his true thoughts. Yet his face remained red, and not from the cold.
