((No problem. I can easily work with it. :) )) Trex frowned thoughtfully. They have ran through quite an extensive list of various crazy or exotic things. "Can't think of anymore now." He declared regrettably glancing briefly at her. The warmth of her presence filled him and though he didn't say anything he liked when she leaned up against him. There had been a time that he had thought about taking it to the next step. However, they were good partners by then and he hadn't wanted to ruin it for the world. Now with Flynn and even Skye part of the team imagining anything beyond friendship was out of the question. There would be to many ramifications if it ever went south. Frowning, he pushed the thoughts out of his head. He didn't want to think about it. He normally avoided letting his thoughts ever go that way. Besides, he had his goal to reach. Getting into a relationship other than friendship could hinder his chance at obtaining S-Class. Though, in reality if he was honest with himself it probably wouldn't. Lucy was S-Class and she was in a relationship. Many other S-Class wizards were in relationships. But no... He was being honest with himself. Because to be so, he would have to admit that deep down what he was most afraid of was Zelia's rejection. With the thoughts pushed out of the way for now, Trex glanced over at Zelia. "I don't know. Maybe we can see who could spot the most types of wildlife." He offered. They had done it before and it was a fun, competitive way to pass the time. "I got the horses." He quickly claimed smirking. Wincing at Zelia's punch he shook his head. "You really need to quit using me as a punching bag." He informed her. "It's unfair. It's not like I can hit you back." His mother's training was really ingrained. Sure, he can and had fought females before. But only because they needed to be taken down. He would not lay a finger one a girl that he didn't have to take out. ~~~~ "If you can mix the tiles." She instructed as she started to fill the circle in with a large grid. Though the game actually required different color squares, she was used to the dirt version where you just had to remember the colors in your mind or not play with them. However, for Flynn's sake, she shaded some of the squares and put dashes through others. "This differentiates the types of squares." She informed him. "It's a minor thing that I normally don't play with but makes it easier in other aspects." As she explained the rules and got the first game going, it became a bit easier to explain. She loved Pai Sho and was glad to once again find someone to play it with. Taking the game slow, Skye explained it as she went. She had forgotten that there were so many tiny variables included in the game. Each tile had a different image on it and therefore had different significant value. As she went she realized that the game was a whole lot more complicated then she realized - at least for someone who had never played it. "Sorry." She said as she remembered yet another tidbit about a certain play which had given her the lead. Moving the two pieces back she explained the new rule. "I'm sorry. I forgot how complicated it is to a beginner." She pointed toward another one of his pieces. "You want to play that one." She informed him. "It keeps you safe and gives you the upper hand." It was actually a bit hard for her. She was so used to playing hard with the intent to win that scaling back to help the confused Flynn was almost like going against her nature. However, even with that as she played her eyes brightened a bit and her posture became more relaxed, though she didn't notice. The time flew by and after yet another victory for her, Skye winced. "I'm sorry. I've never taught anyone before." She didn't add the fact that she had played a long time against those who had done the same. She didn't want to make him feel bad. She toyed with one of the tiles, slipping back into her shell, though like earlier, she didn't realizing it. She enjoyed Pai Sho but she doubted he did. Despite the fact she was trying to scale back and giving him pointers along the way she had beaten him three times. If there hadn't been so many minor variables, he would have done well - for a beginner. He was a quick learner but she kept throwing variables at him changing the dynamics of the game. "I'm not cheating, I swear." She told him hoping he didn't think she was. She glanced at the tile in her hand. "Did you have a game that you like?" She asked tentatively. It was doubtful he wanted to continue. He probably thought she kept changing the rules to let herself win. She wasn't but how would he know that? The people she played with would do anything to win and you had to be on top of them to make sure they weren't cheating. As he had no experience with the game before, he would have no way to catch her and therefore would probably be extremely suspicious. Especially with all the rules she kept remembering and throwing into the mix.
