"Hmmmm," Julien pondered, "It appears you are keeping something from me . . ." Julien pouted and then shrugged. He wasn't going to push it. "So," he pulled away from Nina but still held her at arms reach, "What game would you be ok with playing?" He smiled at her, "Or do you want to draw some more." Julien would have suggested that they go bother Jaebi, buuuuut . . . . dang it. why did his cheetah have to go on a vacation with the enemy?

Nina shrugged. "Bah." She craned her neck to look around the courtyard. Her gaze fell back on her pastel work, and she arched one eyebrow. "I dunno. What are some games you like to play back in Madagascar? Maybe you can teach me a new one."

Julien pondered. "Well, a lot of the games we played had to do with being in the trees," he muttered. What could they do that did not involve heights?
Julien's face lit up. "I know, we could either spar, or you could teach me a human game. I don't know of any games we used to play with out trees . . . except for land tree tag . . ."

Nina puffed out her cheeks and tapped her lower lip in thought, rolling her gaze skyward. What games would Julien like to play? There was tag, yes, but Julien ran faster than she did. She didn't have the kind of strength that allowed for more than short bursts of speed. What about Red Rover? No, that wasn't a two-person game.
A thought came to her, then. It was her favorite game to play with Haneul-- it was fun with Jaebi, and she had been meaning to teach it to Kemekin...
A slow smile curled across her features. "Have you ever played Cham Cham Cham?"

"Cham cham?" Julien thought. Or was it three "chams"? Anyway.
"No can't say I have . . .Sounds like a spicy food," Julien mused to hiself. He laughed and smiled, "I'll give it a try only if you promise not to hurt me." Julien knew that his noona didn't mean to, but many of the games that she came up with had some pain involved. Same thing with Zari-mommy. What was it with these pretty girls and hurting people. It was fun hurt but hurt none the less.

Nina giggled. "Aw, I wouldn't hurt you on purpose, Jules. Here, this is how it works. We do kai bae bo-- that's rock, paper, scissors-- and when one of us wins, we do this:" She held out two fingers, together like a gun, and bounced them in front of Julien's nose. "Three times, and say 'Cham Cham Cham.' On the third cham, you're going to look left, or right. And I'm going to sweep my fingers either left or right." She demonstrated as she spoke, reaching forward with her other hand to grip Julien's chin to move his head.
"If we both go in the same direction, you lose, and I get to do this--" She took her cham hand and slapped the two fingers hard against her own forearm. "Except to you." She grinned. "But if we go in opposite directions, you're safe, and we play again."

Julien smirked, "I like." So, here we go . . . "So, how does 'stone, bark, knife' work?"

Nina smiled, making her jewel-like eyes crinkle at the corners. "Kai," she made a fist; "Bae," she flattened her hand; "Bo," she made the scissors gesture. "Rock... er, stone beats knife, and knife beats... bark..., and bark beats stone. Don't ask why, because no one knows for sure."
"So," Nina held out her hands, ready to play. "do you get it?"

Julien made a pondering face and nodded. "Yeah, I think so." His smile broadened. "Ok let's try this," he said, "Kai, bae, bo!" He made his hands into a fist 'stone'.

Nina arched an eyebrow. She had gone for scissors.
"You get to cham." She put her hands down at her sides and smiled up at Julien, craning her neck out slightly to expose her face.

Oh crap. Julien hadn't expected to win. "O-ok," he mumbled with a nervous smile. He held his two fingers in a gun shape. "Cham . . .cham . . ." dangit was it two or three? ". . . .cham?" He moved his fingers to his left, Praying Nina didn't follow.

Nina feigned a pout. "You went too slow, Jules." She demonstrated the proper speed. "Silly. Try again."

"oh, Ok. Cham-cham-cham!" Julien restated as he moved his fingers to the right. Skills, he pretended to have them.

Nina grinned. She watched his movement, read his muscle movement, and purposefully swept her head to the right. She grinned and held out her forearm.

Julien's heart stopped. His smile became hollow and he gnawed on his lower lip. "Well, damn," he said with a chuckle. He carefully tapped Nina on the wrist and cringed . . . He did not like the idea of hurting Nina, hopefully that would be abusive enough.

Nina actually burst out laughing.
"Oh, Jules. Honey, that's no good. You're supposed to hit me." She grinned. "Come on, I can take it."

"B-but, I-i can't, Noona," Julien tried to explain. He wasn't Kemekin, he would NEVER do anything to hurt his Nina. "It's not like me to hurt the ones I like and care for . . . " His smile turned into a bit of a twisted uncomfortable smirk.

Nina d'aww!ed and pulled her fists up to her chin.
"It's okay, Jules. You won't hurt me-- it's just a game. Besides, it's not like I'm not covered in bruises anyway." She extended her arms to prove it. She and Haneul did not pull back on blows when they sparred.

"W-well, ok . . ." Julien carefully took Nina's wrist in his hand, "if you're sure . . ." He raised the tree fingers of his left hand and smacked Nina's forearm. It wasn't all of his force but it left a little bit of a red mark. Surely that will suffice. He must get worse at this 'stone, bark, knife' thing.

Nina, feeling mischievous, hissed at the contact. She pulled her arm against her chest and made a whimpering noise.
It hadn't hurt at all, really. But Nina was a playful thing.
Then she straightened and grinned up at Julien. "Joking."

Julien's head spun. OH GOD!!! I hurt h- . . . hold on one . . . wait . . . WHAT??!!! Fifteen emotions crossed over Julien's face and finally ended on an "OH that is not cool, I see what you did there." Julien arched an eyebrow and attempted to make a disapproving smile . . . if that was possible.
He turned his back to her and mumbled, " . . .not cool."

Nina managed to turn her rather evil cackle into a rough cough. She stepped up behind Julien and curled her fingers over his shoulder. She willed her eyes to glisten and watched him dejectedly, fluttering her eyelashes over her knuckles.

Julien knew that looking at Nina was a bad idea. It would lead to nothing but guilt and horrible horrible feelings . . .
But he just had to look at her. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, saw the adorable . . . and died a little on the inside. He slumped over a little but other than that remained unchanged.

Nina was determined to get a stronger reaction than that. She snuggled up to Julien and scratched at the skin on his shoulders, just barely, and let her lower lip quiver visibly.

Julien would have been charmed to pieces . . . he really would have. If only his shoulders hadn't been so tense from earlier and Nina's nails just felt soooooooooooooooo good. Julien arched his back and began to purr quietly.
