( When you're taking a walk through Asgard, looking for more supplies - or just taking an afternoon away from training - it has to be the case where the last thing you expect to happen happens. Although, in fairness, randomly appearing mistletoes were probably not the last thing that Maria would have expected to happen - it wasn't something that she'd even given a thought too.

She's already stood under it by the time she notices, her attention caught by a native's 'quiet' whispering to a friend, making her look above her. Oh crap, and in her luck someone is close enough by they could get caught in it too. She doesn't trust Asgard to not instantly make that happen - not after what she's seen )

I'd stay there.

( Or turn around. Although really she could just move, maybe. Could she? And she hopes that no one asks why - embarrassing )

( After a day spent being bombarded by unexpected mistletoe Maria ends up at the bar, in need of (at least) one drink and some quiet alone time. The first part Maria gets at least, although the bar is a little busier than she'd hoped meaning that she has to sit near to someone )

Don't ask.

( She looks a little weary, and possible frustrated - and there's a quick mouthful of her drink had. Sadly, for her, her answers to any questions may currently be a little more honest than she'd like )
