[Tamaki is once more in the lobby today (although not in women's clothing this time) and has again pushed all the furniture back and out of the way

[Smiling up at Italy happily, always pleased to see the excitable man, he pointed at the chalk squares.]

Do you know how to play hopscotch?

[daddyhost]

[Clapping his hands together excitedly, he stood up feeling smug. Now he can learn and impress Haruhi!]

Teach me, Italy!

[daddyhost]

[He is watching in rapt attention, utterly captivated by how commoners could make games even out of ROCKS!

How resourceful! How amazing! How utterly cute!]

Hooray! You did it!

[daddyhost]

[AHA! SO IT IS A GAME OF BALANCE!

He watches Italy hop his way through the squares with a big smile on his face, applauding when the country gets to the other end.]

[daddyhost]

[He watches with rapt attention until Italy brings the stone right back to him, then looks at the little rock in the palm of the country's hand.]

Why do you bring it back?

[daddyhost]

[Taking the stone, he threw it so that it landed on number 2.]

How do you win?

[daddyhost]

Did you play this game with all your friends when you were little?

[daddyhost]

[Something softer comes over his expression at that confession, leaning back a little as he replied.]

I didn't play much as a child, either. My mother was sick very easily, and so I stayed in with her and played the piano to cheer her up.
