A magical winter labyrinth with all kinds of tricks and gimmicks to amuse, something Edgar decided to explore. The first time he went through he went as a proper gentleman with a few friends from school and had a blast. This second time through, he came as Leon Bunyip along with one of his employees who wanted the opportunity to enjoy himself. Greg was a typical heavyset working class man who worked as a bouncer at one of Edgar's gambling dens. Recently Greg had successfully foiled a customer's attempt to cheat and steal a great deal of the casino's nightly intake. Greg took the man out as well as his three accomplices, nearly getting himself killed in the process. As reward, Edgar, as his boss Leon, offered him anything he wanted within reason and a chance to tour the labyrinth had been what he wanted.

Initially he didn't know why Greg couldn't ask one of his fellow bouncers or some other friend but it turned out Greg didn't make friends and he preferred to keep work separate from his personal life. Edgar didn't care either way but it gave him a way to go to the labyrinth as a pair and then explore it on his own to see what sort of fun he could have.

With various traps and mistletoe hanging about in some areas of the maze, Edgar rather hoped to catch somebody kissing somebody they shouldn't and use it to gain blackmail money, or to have a little fun himself. Wearing a large overcoat which showed clear signs of wear, including large patches on the elbows of a slightly different colour than the main colour of the coat, Edgar made sure he looked like a decently employed Working Class man and not a upper Middleclass gentleman he truly was.

He had been following the sounds of giggling young women, not expecting to actually catch up to any given the twists and turns of the labryinth. Eventually the sounds faded away as they took another path while the sneaky maze decided to close off that path and open a new one. Edgar went down the new path, unaware a lone woman was up ahead, hidden from view by the twists and turns of the maze. He wasn't making any attempt to be especially quiet or loud, walking in his normal steps, while keeping an eye out for any of the sticky traps he had encountered before.

Turning a bend he noticed the path ahead was in pitch darkness. The only source of light from the faint glow of other paths and the stars above. The tall walls were more than enough to keep the floor in dark shadow so he couldn't quite see what was up ahead. Pausing, he listened while he waited for his eyes to adjust. He could hear breathing, rapid with fear or excitement. Before he could think to draw his wand and cast lumos, whoever was ahead of him did just that, blinding him temporarily.

Reflexively he stepped back which moved him out of the woman's line of sight when she turned to look behind her. Perhaps she'll see a shadow or notice a shape just around the bend while Edgar let his eyes recover from the unexpected light.

Peaking around the corner, he spotted the woman who had lit her wand standing still directly under a sprig of mistletoe, her eyes closed tight in a posture that looked very much like nervous anticipation. Deciding he couldn't resist, for she was quite attractive, Edgar pushed up the brim of his cap then approached her. Grinning he leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss, one hand touching her shoulder.
