[It has to be on the lips or else it doesn't count!!! But with him being so close and his scent starting to mingle with that of the peaches and ale is making it increasingly more difficult for her to resist.
She pretends to ponder for a moment, and while she is pouting heavily at him still, there is no shortage of amusement shimmering in her eyes.]
Alright, fine.
[Giving in, she huffs her most dramatic sigh.]
Please.
[But just because she's saying it does not mean she's giving in and letting him win!!!]

[Brush brush brush.]
Hmmm, true. This is the beginner's slope so it's not surprising we'll have others to contend. I wouldn't say we've advanced so much more, but...
[He looks around towards the next hill marked for skiing.]
Perhaps we can try over there. It has the beginner's flags but doesn't seem as crowded.

[Not much longer... Except she'll take a moment to fix him with an irritated stare because she knows what he is doing. She is simply too full of alcohol to care much more than a stare and a noise in the back of her throat that sounds very much like a whine.]
Please... Give me a kiss.
Please... Give me a kiss.
[And with a little (or a lot) of help between each other, they manage to stand up, retrieve their lost poles, and make their way to the top of the next slope.
It's still an easy, gentle, and straight slope, but it is longer by several feet. Like the other one there are tall snowbanks with notable person sized indentions (and one that looks a lot like a pig imprint). There are only a small handful of others practicing, but the slope is also wider to allow more ample room.
Studying it all, Cid nods.]
One at a time or should we try together again?

["Wait, wait, let me... hrrnng..." Kupli struggles to get her wings flapping again, but when their lips don't touch, she gives another frustrated groan and sinks back onto the railing, almost as disappointed as Benedikta feels right now.
She huffs against his lips.]
Then you shall have your due punishment for it.
She huffs against his lips.]
Then you shall have your due punishment for it.
[It takes some effort to do so, but they manage together. Though by the time they have gotten up, untangled their skis and poles, and made it to the edge of the next slope, Benedikta feels a little worse for wear. She definitely is going to need some hot tea after all of this is over.
But once they're at the top and she's examined the hill in front of them...]
We still have not crowned a winner since neither of us made it down in one piece.

[He'll feel that laugh, likely taste it as he tempts her closer.]
Something that I would not dare say in front of a—
[Her words are cut off when she turns around to Kupli, who continues to groan and grumble and sigh, and is most certainly begging for their attention.]
—Moogle. Is there a problem?
[Kupli just frowns at her, and then jabs a fuzzy little paw at the mistletoe that is now hanging above them, with Puksi there to hold it up.]

[She makes a sound at that, but not out of disagreement. Mostly just out of her own wish to remain close.]
Might be for the best.
[With one more squeeze of his hand, she shuffles away and waves her hand in a 'shoo' motion for him to do the same.]
And I will let you count us down this time.

[Kupli starts to flap over to join her sister, grumbling something about how it "took her long enough", and the two bicker above them with their mistletoe. Benedikta only eyes them for a moment longer with some ire before she's lowering her gaze back to Cid with a pointed stare.]
Soooo? Are you going to kiss me, then?
Soooo? Are you going to kiss me, then?
[All three girls protest at once, with Kupli and Puksi groaning and throwing glitter at him, and Benedikta smacking him (weakly) against the shoulder.]
What was that!? That was not a kiss.
["Booooo, kupoooo!" Kupli makes her disdain clear.
"Not even with three mistletoe!?"]

Cidolfus! Cidol—you little...
[She pushes off with a grumble, but there's a smirk beneath it as she pushes off after him. The hill is a bit steeper, so she picks up speed easier, and there is more room for her to do so. Well, if he is going to cheat, then so is she! He will feel a wind pick up, and if he's paying attention, he'll also sense the subtle prickle of her magic. It pushes her faster, and she catches up to him with ease, and when she does, she turns to grin at him.
And then skids past, using not just the poles and her legs to guide her, but also the wind. Her, and only her.]
Farewell.
[She will reach the bottom snowbank only a few seconds before he does and only narrowly missing it before coming to a stop—]

[Her arms tighten around him as if she is afraid he is going to run off then. Not this time...!!!
But she senses what he is doing, and while she could keep up this little game of theirs for a little while longer, the warmth of his breath mixed with the soft touch of his lips is far too tempting, and the moogles making noise at them and throwing glitter over their heads will stop once they finally do kiss.
So, with a grumble and a groan, she will finally capture his lips with his. It is a touch messy, tasting so much of wine, and she leans all of her weight over him, like she means to trap him where they are.
Above them, Kupli and Puksi cheer and squeal with delight, after joint groans of how long it took them. "Fiiiinally, kupo~"]

[He just watches her like the fox that he is, and when she finally gives in there will be a rumbling laugh as his arms tighten around her while he returns that kiss. No matter how messy or sloppy it is, it's still one that brings that bubbling warmth.]
I won.
[He still sneaks in between another kiss.]
I won.
[He still sneaks in between another kiss.]
[She swats him on the chest and devours his words with another kiss, sighing softly and contently into it.
Meanwhile, the moogle sisters are flushing and are deeply embarrassed.
"Should we leave them alone, kupo?"
"Maybe... I don't know how long they're going to be like this. They've been doing this allllll niiiight, Puksi, it was so annoyinnng..."
Benedikta waves them off.]
You may go harass some other poor soul now.
