[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She laughed. "Good point."

"You sure love your secrets."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why thank you."

"As do you. So it appears we would be at a stalemate of sorts."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She set her next word down. "You know you can exchange if you're desperate "

"I suppose so. I will tell you that you are different from the others I've been with."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That would be cheating."

"In what way?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Not necessarily."

"Most of the men I've encountered think they have some sort of dominance over me," she said and squeezed his throat for emphasis, "But you? You bite back just a little more than the rest."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"We'll see."

"I would prefer to think of us as equals but that may not be accurate."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She leaned back on her hands. "I say we make this game a little more interesting."

Her eyes flashed and she ghosted her lips over his. "What do you think would be accurate, then?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"Perhaps you could assist me with a more appropriate word."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"How about we place some bets?"

"You don't give yourself enough credit."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Bets?" he asked. "Betting what?"

"Perhaps there isn't just one word. You have amassed a power greater than mine, but I am an old wanderer and have learned many things. That does not a position of power make."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"If I win you have to do something and vice versa."

"Cut the flattery, Peter," she laughed lightly and wound her arms around his shoulders. "But it's your attitude that intrigues me. You may not have power but your speech conveys otherwise."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He paused. "Okay. Maybe. What do you have in mind?"

"Unlike your others you have been with, I seek first to tell the truth and second to flatter." He said this with a small smile.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She thought a bit and then turned to Mimi. "Any ideas?"

"Clever response," she smirked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

She held up her hands. "This is your opportunity to flirt, not mine."
"Do you ever flirt?"
"Nope, but I was hoping that wouldn't come to anyone's attention, so thanks."

"And also true," he added, his smile widening.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's awkward flirting with other people around, though. "

"Well in that case, I am still flattered."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I can go somewhere else if you like."

"A wonderful happenstance."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"No, no it's okay," she laughed, "Just don't get grossed out when James tries some greasy move on me."

"How can I thank you properly?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Hey, my moves are impeccable," he protested.
Mimi rolled her eyes. "I'm sure."

"However suits you," he replied. "I am not a picky man."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Only I think so, dear."

She thought a bit and then pressed her lips fully against his, exhaling slowly.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's all that counts."

He stayed still for a split second, and deepened the kiss just a touch, but not enough to be taken as offensive or overeager. Such was the game.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She smiled and moved her tiles around. "So what'll it be? Bets-wise."

She bit down on his lower lip and then pulled away, taking a few steps back. She laughed, sounding almost innocent or even childish.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I can't think of anything, to be perfectly honest."

"Have I amused you quite so much?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"How about," she trailed off and tilted her head to the side, "If I win you have to give me a foot massage?"

"Something like that."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's doable," he agreed.

"Really, that is all the answer you're going to give me?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Now you'"

"What else did you expect?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He thought for a bit. "If I win... you have to mediate the next argument between Mimi and Ed."
"Whoa, hey now."

"After that? Something of a little more... substance." A small slight. She would surely notice.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"That's a lot harder than my proposition," Ray whined.

"If you want something Peter, you either have to be specific or come and ge,t it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You can refuse the bet," he said.
"Why'd you drag me into this?"
James ignored that.

"I asked you a question and you avoided it, plain and simple," he said with a shrug. "I know better than to start a quarrel with you here. You are advertising every potential vulnerability I may have right back to me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Nah. I'm confident enough that I can beat you in Scrabble."

She smiled slightly. "Well to answer your most recent question: no, you don't amuse me. But I do like you."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He laughed. "You're on."

"I suppose that is acceptable. I am not often laughed at, or in front of."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Whose move is it again?"

"Or do they just not live to tell the tale?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yours."

"That was common of me, once. But I have grown tired of that particular game. It bored me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Tch, no problem," she said and set her tiles down confidently.

"Fascinating."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He grinned and replied with a few more tiles. And a triple word score.

"That is not often an adjective used to describe one such as myself."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She bit her lips and sifted through her tiles, settling for a double word score after some contemplation.

"Why not?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Which just opened up the field for him to play the word "queued" with a double letter score on that Q. "This must be an off day for me, this doesn't usually happen."

He sighed. "I am old. And tired of playing by rules I helped create."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Are you usually worse?" she asked, staring at the board.

"So make new ones. I do," she smirked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Much more unlucky," he added.

"Which is why I am having difficulty with you," he admitted after a moment. "I don't know what rules you are currently playing by. I am in no position to wish offense, you see."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Sucks for me then, huh?" she asked and set some tiles down.

"But you did, by coming to find me first."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Only today."

"You said you were glad to see me."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I'll still win."

"I still am."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Maybe. Maybe not."

"Would you rather me go?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Probably."

"No, I wouldn't," she said, far too quickly than she would have liked.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You are not confident in my abilities at all, are you?"
"Well, to be fair," Mimi supplied, "you aren't very good with words to begin with."

He smiled subtly and only for a moment. "Then perhaps the offense is not so terrible."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Im just more confident in myself, is all," she said and smiled at Mimi's comment, "You work better with your body anyway." She said this without looking at him, carefully putting her tiles down.

"No, I think not," she said and trailed her hands lightly on a nearby tree. The branches seemed to shudder above her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I don't see how you would be an expert in that particular subject," he teased.

He glanced at the tree, and back at her. "Where does that leave us?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She grinned and looked up at him. "Yeah, no clue."

"Like I said, you came here for a reason, didn't you?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Maybe half a clue."
"Uh, guys, should I leave?"
"... If you like."

"I wouldn't have come if I thought it would create a problem."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((draco is with them, right?))

"I'm saying nothing," Ray said with her hands up.

"I see no problems yet."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((not that i remember. maybe))

"Your move," James said, grinning.

"You're here for a reason, too, are you not?"
