[Gyatso knows that he dies soon after the time he was taken from, as do the rest of the people... but it would be nice to see all his "family" back home one more time. And he needs to be there until the end.
In my world, people once believed that a sprig of mistletoe hung over the doorway would prevent people with evil intentions from entering the house and ward off sickness from the household. They believed that it prevented lightning strikes as well.
Oh, really? Was there some kind of legend concerning mistletoe and its supernatural abilities? I mean, there must be a reason why people once believed that, right?
Many different legends. Different peoples each had their own stories about it, and the stories often changed over time. The druids, for example, would go out on the sixth night of the moon and cut the mistletoe from an oak tree with a golden sickle. They said that the mistletoe was the soul of the Oak. And the Oak was the King of all trees.

The story of mistletoe is one that I, too, would enjoy hearing. If someone does answer you, perhaps you could share it?

Oh, absolutely! We do have mistletoe back home, but it's not used like this, so I'm very intrigued!

It is! Although I would miss some of the people I met here.
Amusing moments? Like what?
