"Cheating?" Trex shook his head. "I didn't cheat. All animals were open." He declared. "It's not my fault you were a bit slow." Sadly for him, she took that moment to call out the eagle. Drat. He needed to start paying attention. Keeping a sharp lookout he shook his head. "One to one." He replied. "The horses do count. "Robin." He said nodding toward the small bird the flew across the road. "Two-one." He chuckled at her desire to make a wager. "Aren't you broke enough as it is?" He inquired insinuating that he was going to win. Though in reality Zelia did a better job at this game then he did. Not only did he have to keep an eye on the road but she just had a better job at spotting the animals. Why would he agree to a wager when she would only clean him out. "I think we should just stick to it being a fun game." He declared.

Time flies when one was having fun. Though he tried hard, Zelia got a strong lead and no matter what he did, he couldn't catch up. When he almost ran the wagon off the road for the third time because he was sidetracked he shook his head. "Alright, alright. You win this time." He conceded. Glancing at the sky, he was surprised to see that they had missed lunch and that it was almost evening. As if suddenly making up for lost time his stomach growled reminding him that they hadn't eaten since breakfast. "We should eat." He informed Zelia. "It's been a long day and I'm sure everyone is starving." Using the reins, he nudged the horses into a small clearing on the side of the road. "We should be good here." He stated. He looked at the sky. Though they had a few hours of daylight left it was a good time to stop. They could eat, turn in early and get a good start. Besides, he wanted to practice a bit of his magic. The past few days had been exceedingly busy and he hadn't had that much chance to do so. He was going to get rusty if he didn't take care. Every day he missed practice meant so much longer before obtaining S-class and that was unacceptable. A few days was understandable but not to many and not often. 

"I'll take care of the horses if you want to get the others and set up camp." He stated jumping down and heading over toward the horses. With years of experience he removed all the tackle and rubbed the horses down. For some it might be a tedious job, but for him it brought back pleasant memories from his childhood. By time he was finished Zelia had set up a campfire and had hers and his stuff piled nearby. Tying the horses to the tree, he walked over to Zelia. After they ate he would create a wooden pen to keep the horses in for awhile. It gave them room to maneuver as well as gave him a bit of practice. Come morning, he would remove it so it wouldn't bother anyone else."Where's Skye and Flynn?" He asked heading over to where she sat pulling out supplies. He raised his eyebrows a bit surprised when she stated they were in the middle of a game and would come out 'shortly'. "What kind of game?" He inquired curious sitting down. If he wasn't so hungry he would go check it out but the site of the food had his stomach telling him to keep his priorities straight.

Skye was a bit surprised that he wanted to continue to play. When he mentioned her cheating she glanced up ready to shoot back a retort of her innocence when she saw the wink. Glancing down slightly embarrassed, she was a bit surprised to see that he was only joking. Of course he wouldn't want to continue if he really thought she was cheating. Unless he wanted to catch her at it and point it out. She frowned. She knew several people who would do that. Of course they also relished in any mistake always rubbing it in. Picking up a piece, she glanced at Flynn from the corner of her eye. Flynn wasn't that type of person. Though she didn't know him that long, it just didn't seem to fit his personality to do that. Setting the piece down she glanced up at Flynn as he spoke about how he liked complicated things as he made his first move. Frowning at the board, Skye reminded herself to take it easy on him. With that in mind, she placed her piece on a spot she usually avoided - especially for a first move. "Your move." She informed him.

As the game continued, she kept instructing Flynn on what was a good spot or move and what not to do. Like before, her instruction was more quite and tentative at first but as the game continued she relaxed a bit and explained the reasoning behind the moves with a passion in her eyes. She didn't even notice when the wagon slowed and it wasn't until Zelia popped her head in did she realize they had come to a stop. Caught up in the game she waved her hand dismissively at Zelia's comment to come out, something she would have never done if she had been thinking about it. "We'll be out shortly." She replied not even looking over. Flynn was doing pretty good and had a good chance. Well, if he was playing someone else. But still, considering she was doing her best not to kill him he had a chance at winning. And she was going to do her best to let that happen, without making it to obvious. 

With Zelia gone again, she set down another piece. "Oh that was dumb." She said shaking her head though in reality she had made the move purposely. Like the kind-hearted individual he was, Flynn offered for her to do it again. It was actually hard to purposely lose when he would give her the opportunity to take back the 'mistakes'. "No." She replied. "I should have known better. Go ahead." If they kept this up Flynn would win, eventually. Though it would take him a whole lot longer. Even now she could quickly turn the game around and win fairly quick. But no. She would not do that. Though she liked winning, she didn't want to rub another victory at Flynn. Not that she made a big deal of it but just winning again might make him feel bad.
