[deontology]

[He's not familiar with that one either..... hm. Or with those names.

But nonetheless--]

It is not the sort of game I was expecting from you.

[He'll share that much honestly enough.]

[littlestbaskerville]

[He hasn't had the pleasure of meeting Vincent then...he is a treat.]

Really?

[She quiet for a minute and then pouts a little.]

The ones here are hard...I can't win at them...and Sou doesn't seem like the type to play tag.

[AKA she picked a game she thought you would actually play with her.]

[deontology]

[Ah, is that it... he'd been wondering, but the confirmation that she picked a game that doesn't require a lot of hyperactive movement for his sake is still a little surprising.

It's thoughtful, though, and he appreciates it.

So he shows that by being a dick to his friend.]

You're correct. Tenka, however, will play tag with you at any time.

[casually volunteers him... though knowing tenka, he really won't mind.]

This is suitable for me. [good choice, lily!!]

[littlestbaskerville]

[She could be calm, if she wanted. It was just boring at times and she was quick to nod off.

Lily was thoughtful when she looked through games. She didn't want something hard or too easy...and nothing too boring. So checkers won.]

Really? I would like that!

[She will hold Tenka to that now.]

So you like it? [There is a bright glimmer in her eyes. SHE DID GOOD RIGHT?!]

[deontology]

[... Does he...like it...

Sousei blinks down at the game.

... ... ...]

I do not mind it.

[VICTORY]

[littlestbaskerville]

[The smile on her face only grows wider.]

I'm glad! Hehe, it's fun!

[She's playing with Sousei...she is pretty darn proud of herself right now.]

[deontology]

[You should be proud, Lily, this is a very impressive thing. Nonetheless, every game must come to an end, and when he looks down at their game, considering it thoughtfully (he's not surprised that he lost the first time around, but he does want to learn how to improve), he nods to himself.]

...This is likely something worth practicing as well.

[So...he'll probably play again, someday.]

[littlestbaskerville]

[Lily will boast that she played with Sousei!]

Yeah, it takes a lot of practice...I'm really happy I got to play with you!

[deontology]

[.... ... .... ????

He can't imagine why she would be...really happy about that...]

Are you truly that bored here?

[littlestbaskerville]

[She is really happy, let her have her moment.]

Huh? What would that mean I'm bored?

[deontology]

I can't see any other reason why you would be so happy at something like this.

[Unless you were just really really bored.....]

[littlestbaskerville]

Because I want to play with Sousei and be your friend!

[What better reason?]

[deontology]

[W...HY.....THOUGH.

He doesn't get it at all.]

There are better friends to be made. There is no need to attach yourself to me.

[he's real bad at this friends thing if you haven't noticed.]

[littlestbaskerville]

[She wants you that's why!]

Nu-uh, you're nice to me.

[deontology]

[... ????

????

??????????]

I am not cruel to you, no. That would be unnecessary.

[littlestbaskerville]

Then I want to be your friend.

[In an obvious tone...it makes sense right?]

[deontology]

[He still doesn't get it at all.....]

I fail to see why you are so fixated on this... wouldn't it be better to make friends with others your own age?

[littlestbaskerville]

[Lily stares at him for a few moments and then looks at the table.]

...You're like Master Glen. He was really quiet but nice still.

[deontology]

[.....Ah.

He wasn't expecting a legitimate reason, somehow, but...it seems she has one after all. He's quiet for a moment--and then he sighs, faintly.]

...Fine. Do what suits you.

[littlestbaskerville]

[Lily blinks a few times...this is the first time he hasn't argued about it??]

Then I will be Sousei's friend!

[deontology]

[Indeed... he can't quite bring himself to do it. But even so, he can't quite bring himself to just easily accept that either.]

...

Regardless.

[CHANGING THE SUBJECT OH-SO-SMOOTHLY--]

I believe we are finished here.

[littlestbaskerville]

[She will let the topic drop for now.

Staring at the board she nods before she yawns and rubs her eyes.]

Yeah, we are done with the game.

[deontology]

[Yep... she looks sleepy. And unlike Tenka, who is a proper Aniki and would probably encourage her to nap there, or something silly like that, Sousei is... not.

Anything like that.

Nope.]

If you are tired, you should return to your home.

[are you sure you want to be friends with this guy.]

[littlestbaskerville]

Don't wanna walk home...

[She was up later learning the game more...she wanted to do a good job.]

[deontology]

[what does he...do in this situation WHERE IS TENKA WHEN HE ACTUALLY NEEDS HIM.....

Sousei just looks disconcerted for a very brief moment, before he glances elsewhere.]

... Are you so tired that you are unable to make it back safely?
