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?

[littlestbaskerville]

[Sleepy children will defeat the great Sousei!

Rubbing her eyes, she looks at him a little confused for the moment.]

Huh? I just wanna nap.

[deontology]

[Really now.

But he doesn't want you to nap here!!

It makes him feel awkward.]

Then you should return home promptly.

[littlestbaskerville]

[Aw, but Sousei...naps.]

...

[deontology]

[what


why are you looking at him like that!!!]

...State what you want plainly.

[littlestbaskerville]

[A little paranoid Sousei?]

..I wanna nap here.

[deontology]

[He doesn't know how to handle kids, okay....

But he just...looks at her blankly for a moment.

What...does he do...

Ah, if she naps, then Tenka will get home and he can foist her off onto Tenka OKAY SOLID PLAN.]

...You may use the couch.

[littlestbaskerville]

[Lily watches as Sousei looks for something.

Did he really just say it was okay? This is a good day!

Nodding she moves to the couch and crawls onto it.]

Thank you, Sousei!

[deontology]

There's no need for that.

[but it's said quietly, and then he goes back to the low table to clean up the game neatly and tidily. When she does fall asleep, he disappears long enough to grab a blanket to toss that over her--because Lily with a cold would undoubtedly be more trouble and no other reason--and then he goes back to his reading.

When Tenka gets home, he'll leave Lily to him. But for now, it's quiet and peaceful, so he doesn't have much to complain about.]
