Who: Ren and Ain
When: feb 15-20
Where: Hades temple
What: fooling around after valentines day

[So Ren's been living here for a couple of weeks. The temple feels more like home now. It's a good thing that Ain's taking care of him. Sometimes Ren feels like doing things for Ain as well. He gets up and calls for his god.]

Hey, do you have a moment?

[Spots is loitering around the room as Ren tries to get Ain's attention.]

[ He lets Ren capture one of his own pieces, but in exchange his Rook is able to nab a few of Ren's own backline. His assault seems to have left his defense open... hmm hmm. ]

[phantomtrick]

What do you think the outcome's going to be?

[ Ren strokes his chin and moves a piece forward. It might be hard to win. ]

[abgrund]

Do you want to win?

[ It's a honest question. He doesn't mind throwing the match if Ren really wants to, but he has to figure out the kid's attitude first. ]

[phantomtrick]

Who likes losing?

[ Ren's brow shrinks until he looks down and sighs. ]

I can't tell if you were going easy on me, toying with me, or both. A loss is a loss though. I wouldn't be much of a man if I couldn't admit that.

[abgrund]

I'm being truthful. I wouldn't toy with someone.

[ It seems... unnecessary, somehow. He doesn't need to think too much to figure out Ren's plan, but it's not easy either. ]

[phantomtrick]

You're a lot nicer than you look.

[ Ren tries to hide his smile under his hand. ]

Did someone tell you that before?

[abgrund]

[ There is no meaning in pursuing that which is futile. ]

Perhaps.

[ It doesn't matter all that much. He's sure of how he should conduct himself and other people's words won't change that in the slightest. ]

[ Ren crouches to the floor and picks up one of the cats running around. ]

Our feline friends think you're nice too.

[ Kitty lets out a meoooww nodding in agreement. ]

[abgrund]

[ Ain watches Spots for a few moments before the corner of his visible eye crinkles a little in what might be a smile. ]

I like cats, [ he says sagely. ]

[phantomtrick]

Good to hear. I love cats too..

[ Spots runs over the table and knocks over some of the pieces. They're so excited to see Ain. ]

Give Spots a big hug.

[abgrund]

[ Hm. Not something he's used to doing, but... ]

If you insist.

[ Ain holds out his arms and waits for Spots to snuggle up to him. He'll pet the cat. ]

[phantomtrick]

[ The kitten lets out a purr and almost takes a nap. ]

They're asleep....

[ Ren puts his finger to his mouth gesturing for them to be quiet. Respect the mighty cat overlord.]

[abgrund]

[ What a strange cat. But then again, everyone is strange, no? ]

The game isn't over yet.

[ It's easy for him to create a barrier around Spots to isolate out noise. That should do it. ]
