[By now, Abel's gotten more than just the gist of what's going on - and has basically come to terms with the fact that it might not end right away. But as terrifying as potentially blurting out even more of the truth is, he still has more important matters to attend to

What's charades?

[She looks up from where she's lounging, twisting to see it upright even though she was lying on her back.]

[celestial_okami]

Is that a good thing, then?

Mm! [She huffs, looking excited. This was rather fun.]

[canniballistic]

I'd like to think it is. I'm no mind-reader, anyway.

[Ahem. But the time for conversation has passed! Abel straightens up, patting down his uniform as he thinks, for a second--

And then appears to get an idea, turning briefly around to retie his hair so that the ponytail is no longer visible when he turns back. He pushes his glasses down his nose just slightly, and then grabs up his notepad again and starts to mime writing something down with a very serious expressiontm on.]

[celestial_okami]

[She cocks her head, her ears twitching as she attempts to think. Hmmmm, what could it be?]

A scribe?

[canniballistic]

[Abel stops to make a see-sawing gesture with one hand - not quite! And then he tugs on his bangs, before returning to whatever serious notation it is he's pretending to take down.]

[celestial_okami]

[Her head tilts one way, and then the other, her tail thumping against the floor. Uuuu.... For a moment she looks like she's stumped.

If he's trying to get her to say psychologist she doesn't even know what those are.]

A doctor?

[canniballistic]

[No, no - he shakes his head, looking equally at a loss for a second or two.

This is harder than it looks...

He points to himself, then to her, and then pauses briefly before indicating his hair again.]

[celestial_okami]

[The look of complete incomprehension passes over her face, her gaze going blank before an idea hits.

Wait wait wait....]

Riku?

[canniballistic]

[Whoops, the notepad goes right up in the air as he claps his hands together.]

That's right!

[celestial_okami]

Ah~! ♥ [She barks, her tail wagging. Her sleeves flap as she throws her arms in the air.]

I did it~!

[canniballistic]

Naturally! I knew you would get it. [No, he didn't.

But anyway.]

That means it's your turn, again.

[celestial_okami]

Hmm... [She would be wounded if he mentioned that he didn't have any faith in her.]

Ah~!

[She falls over backwards her arms tucked close to her chest and her hands curled like her paws would have. Her pinned tail thumps against the floor a little.]

[canniballistic]

[A pause.]

...Are you playing dead, Ammy?

[celestial_okami]

Uwaa~! [With a quick twist she rolls over, her tail wagging.]

You got it already? That one was not very good, was it?

[canniballistic]

Oh, no, it was very good! It just wasn't much of a challenge.

It's difficult to find a good balance, though. And you're doing very well, for your first time playing.

[celestial_okami]

I will have to think of something better next time then.

[Sitting, she raises her arms over her head again to stretch.]

It is rather fun.
