Iskaulit mingle

[lord_wizard]

Who: Anyone!
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: Feb. Drift Week (and beyond?)

[The fleet, more or less patched up after their battle, has once again left civilization behind for empty space. Maybe it's a good time to distract yourself and get away from the endless repairs and nothingness, though there might still be cleaning up that needs to be done here too.

Whether you're grabbing a broom or grabbing a drink, this is a fleetwide mingle for the Iskaulit.]

[ His smile is rueful. Charles doubts he'll ever find out if he is. ]

I hope so.

[dancingmd]

I know so.

[Her Mom Senses tell her this.]

[axiomed]

Then I'll take your word for it.

[dancingmd]

[She huffs softly, not sure he entirely believes her, but she'll take it.

Seeing as she's been sitting in one position for a while now, she shifts to get more comfortable and in the process, something in one of her pockets hits her hip.]

Oh!

[She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a pack of cards.]

I almost forgot. Wrath left me these. I thought we could play a round, for her.

[At least she knows what to do with this unlike certain other... toys Wrath left her with.]

[axiomed]

[ He trails his finger down the side. ]

Certainly.

[dancingmd]

[She gives him a small rueful smile.]

I suppose that means I ought to move, hmm?

[Except she is reluctant to do so, even though she knows she probably should. Cuddling is comforting and not something she does all too often.]

[axiomed]

Not necessarily. Like I said, it's not as though I have any feeling in my legs.

[ The humour may feel dark, but nothing in Charles' expression seems bothered by it. ]

[dancingmd]

[She huffs softly and with good humor.]

I was more worried about the logistics of playing cards in this position.

[That and she's worried about Erik. She might be forgiven for curling up on Charles in a moment of grief but she doesn't know how he would take it beyond that.]

[axiomed]

Fair enough.

[ It would be a little tricky since he'd be able to look over her shoulder. ]

[dancingmd]

[So with one last hug and an unspoken thank you, she climbs off of his lap and sets herself up instead across the table from him.]

So...

[She starts shuffling the cards with an expert hand.]

What shall we play?

[axiomed]

I'm open to suggestions. I haven't played that many card games.

[ Charles didn't have time in college and avoided getting close to anyone there. ]

[dancingmd]

Hmm...

How about gin rummy?

[axiomed]

I think I'm passingly familiar with that.

wrap?

[dancingmd]

[She finishes shuffle then starts dealing.]

How about we do a practice round first, to help jog your memory...

sounds good <3

[axiomed]

An excellent idea.
