The new apartment awaits its guests. Brand new folding chairs line the walls of the dining room, and the living room is as clean as possible.

Almost everything is ready. Let the housewarming begin!

She smiles conspiratorially at the girl, giving her a proud nod.

"Fantastic! We need to get more players, too, so if you know any of the other younger people in the bar, see if you can interest them in learning a new game. We can all learn together."

She's a little vague on all of the rules, herself.

"Then, once the team gets good enough, we'll challenge that adults at Milliways to a 'friendly' game, and beat them mercilessly at it. We can use it as a fund raiser for the kids in the bar who don't have a way to pay their tabs."

"Because I'm a kid at heart?"

She probably should have anticipated that question.

"Maybe I can find someone to turn me into a kid for a day, when we play, to make it fair."

That would take shedding A LOT of years, even if she doesn't look that old.

She raises her eyebrow with a smile.

"We might need to adjust the rules a little. Of course, if there are enough kids to play, I can just stand on the sidelines and cheer and be a coach, or something."

Makita nods mock-sagely, "Yes, I know you don't want to be on the losing team." And that's any team that doesn't have a certain undersized resident of Bahamut on it.
