[John looks up and oh dear god she's right. There's mistletoe up there and she doesn't realize that he's-- oh god. Cheek kisses are one thing but with that smile, John gets the feeling that is not what she's looking for here.]

Nanna...it's John. Not Jake.

[A beat.]

Are you drunk?

[healium]

[Giggling gently, oh that's a drunk hiccup.] Jake, of course not! It's just.. it's really nice to get to really see you, instead of us communicating through text. Short video chats from the internet blipping forever just don't do you enough justice.

[THIS TRAPPED ARM, IT IS BEING CUDDLED.]

[ghostytrainer]

[Yeah...she's drunk. Waaaaay drunk.]

Joooooooohhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Your poppop, Jane! Not Jake! You have the wrong alternate old fart here.

[healium]

[Releasing his arm, sorry John, Nanna's arms are going around his shoulders and Jane is leaning in to plant a smoochie. JUST TURN YOUR HEAD JOHN, AVOID THE AWKWARD MORE THAN NECESSARY!!]

[ghostytrainer]

[>Absc-- CAN'T ABSCOND, BOY.]

[Though he does manage to turn his head in time for her to catch his cheek instead of his lips.]

[healium]

[Well, she would have looked utterly upset if she weren't staring at his eyes. This is not the right color, and this is not. Right.

Shit.

At least Jane has sobered up enough to look THE MOST AWKWARD.]

[ghostytrainer]

[IT SURE ISN'T...]

Uh...Jane? You okay?

[healium]

Um. No, I don't think I was thinking straight just now. [So going to release John and take a step back, awkwardly wobbling.] I.. I'm sorry, oh my god.

[ghostytrainer]

[When she starts wobbling, he takes a step towards her, ready to catch her if need be.]

I'll say! It's fine though, don't worry! No harm done! Here, come on, let's go sit down for a second.

[He holds a hand out, looking a little worried. Nanna, you're drunk. You need to go sit down for a sec. Or like...five secs. A million.]

[healium]

[The wobbling is enough for her to tip a bit forward and take that hand, even if her other hand is lifting to cover her reddening face.] Ohhhh my god. Poppop -- John, I. [CAN'T APOLOGIZE ENOUGH AHGHHGH]

[ghostytrainer]

[He pats her on the back, leading her over to a couch.]

Shhh, it's okay. Here, sit down.

[healium]

[Sitting down like she's told, oh look a cup, she is grabbing it to drink it SO QUICKLY because WOW. That was a close call to even more awkward.]

[ghostytrainer]

[John barely has a chance to sit down before he's trying to tug the cup away from her. Gdi, Nanna.]

Aha, I think you've had enough of...whatever that is. Who even brought alcohol in the fir-- [Wait that is a dumb question.] Never mind. Anyway, I think it's safe to say you've had enough.

[healium]

[Nooooo it occupies her and keeps her from doing silly stuff lol] But Roxy gave me that! [WEH WEH]

[ghostytrainer]

What, the cup?

[YOU JUST PICKED IT UP JANE, WHAT?]

[healium]

[inorite, being drunk, it's what this does.]

Yes! So, it was saafe! [Or not since lol almost snog.]

[ghostytrainer]

...and by Roxy, you mean Rose's mom, right?

[SIGH.]

[healium]

Roxy Lalonde, yes, Rolal!

[ghostytrainer]

Aha...yeah, Jane I think it was a little less safe then you would have liked. She probably didn't mean to though.

[He's silent for a moment, drumming on his knees a little bit and staring at the ceiling while humming. Though eventually...]

So uh...Jake, huh?

[healium]

[WELL this is awkward.]

Y.. yes, but donn't tell him! I'm.... not sure I can telll him myself yet.

[ghostytrainer]

[Maybe for you, Jane. John thinks it's kind of cute. He smiles, miming "my lips are zipped".]

Don't worry, he won't hear about it from me. But you know it's really not such a bad thing once you actually take the plunge and do it. Confessing, I mean.

[healium]

[Looking a bit more relieved that John won't say anything, Jane relaxes a touch, but still rubs her cheeks idly.]

It's just, well.. Jake needs it spellled out for him. Plusss I don't thhink now is the best time for mme.

[ghostytrainer]

Aha...I could see that.

[Partially because...well he needs stuff spelled out to him sometimes.]

I get that though. It's good to wait until the right moment, you just have to be careful. You don't want to let the moment get away, you know?

[healium]

No, that moment needss to be perfff.

[ghostytrainer]

[John chuckles a little.]

You're right. And I'm sure it will be! Whenever you finally happen across it, that is.

[He believes in you, Janey.]
