'Oh god…' Phoenix sighed fondly, his face flushing a bit when that happened. Snapping out of his state, it took a moment to process what she had said. "Oh, uh…. that's good." Phoenix nodded, trying to quickly think of the next letter. "Any I's?" He asked, before slowly sinking back to his previous state.
Cicada raised a slight eyebrow as she heard the sigh and then saw the face flush. She had no idea what was going through his head, but she really couldn't care. Though he did seem to be out of it just slightly, "Yeah. Like 5 of them. You doing okay?"
At her question, he fumbled a bit with his face growing redder. "Uh- yeah… yeah I'm fine. Sorry… I-I didn't mean to stare." He mumbled, lowering his head so she wouldn't see his face. "Are there any O's?"
"What? Got distracted by my face?" Cicada let out a little laugh as she tilted her head at him. It was strange that he hid his face, considering she already knew it was red and his face being red was adorable. Wait what? She distracted herself by drawing a circle for the head pushing those thoughts deep down. She shouldn't be thinking he was cute anyways, "Also no O's."
'Well… yeah.' Phoenix mumbled to himself, lifting his head just a bit to see her drawing a circle at the top. "What about S? Any of them?" He asked, attempting to change the subject.
"3 of those," Cicada responded letting him change the subject. She filled in the blanks after going through the word once more, "I was joking with you by the way."
"Yeah, I know."'Though I actually was…' Sighing a bit, he tried to relax his red face by forcing up a smile. "Anyways, what about the letter D? I don't want to lose any more turns." He laughed a bit, his smile still bright.
"There's one D," Cicada responded filling the one D in. She smiled back brightly at him as she looked at him, "And you've only got one body part so you're doing pretty good."
"I know, it's just nerve racking getting anything." Phoenix joked a bit, scanning over the letters with a furrowed brow. "What about… M, and then following N?"
"Two M's, I think," Cicada responded going through the word filling in the blanks. She went back through and filled in the n's, "And 3 n's. Not bad."
"Oh nice, I've literally got no clue, I'm just guessing." Phoenix laughed, flipping through the letters. "What about G? Any of them in there?" He asked, scanning over the word.
"No G's," Cicada responded giving the head a body. She just did a little stick figure considering her own art skills were horrible, "Also why G?"
"Random guess? I dunno." Phoenix shrugged, smiling once again as he thought of a next letter. "How about, R? Seems like a pretty common letter."
"Somehow, only 1," Cicada replied putting the r in the right spot. She rested her head in her hand as she had a big grin on, "Though that's a better guess I think."
"An_idises_ablis_men_arianism… is there a T?" Phoenix asked, after reading over the word. He thought he knew what it was, but felt like filling out the rest of the word. If he couldn't figure this out, then maybe he should take a look at some books to read.
"Yep there's a couple t's," Cicada responded filling in all but one blank. She figured he would get the word soon enough considering how close he was. She stopped after they were filled in and looked up at him, "Final guess?"
Furrowing his brows, he tried to mentally fill in the blanks. "Uh… anti… antidisestablish… mentarianism?" Phoenix said slowly, looking up to her still unsure he said it correctly. "Is that right?"
"Yep, antidisestablishmentarianism," Cicada responded flashing him a grin. She had always enjoyed saying the word out loud considering how ridiculous it could be.
"Antidisestablishmentarianism… definition please? I've heard it before, but it was once a blue moon ago." Phoenix chuckled, looking up at her with a light smile.
"So its the movement against the establishment of the church of England, I think," Cicada had to rack her head to find a clear answer for Phoenix. She looked back at him with a laugh, "I knew the word before I looked up the definition. I just like saying it."
Laughing a bit, he nodded at her statement. "I use to say a lot of words I didn't understand… you would not believe how much trouble I got in because I ran my mouth."
"Oh, words like fuck and damn I'm assuming?" Cicada asked him back with a slight smirk. She figured those really we're it, but who knew.
"Of probably, but there was more to it as well." Phoenix shrugged, keeping his light smile up. "I was more crude, as you would say. All I remember was the bar of soap in my mouth after I said… gosh I don't even remember."
Cicada let out a laugh as she checked the time to make sure she wouldn't be late for her next class. She still had some time left, "I mean fuck probably did that for you. Maybe shit."
Phoenix nodded, laughing along with her. "I think I was talking to my mom or something… and then I got mad. I'm surprised she didn't just kill me on the spot." He hummed, leaning back a bit with his arms crossed over his chest.
Cicada continued to laugh as she raised her hand to cover her mouth. She wished her fosters were like that, but she knew her birth parents definitely did, "Oh definitely. You would have been a dead man if you weren't her son, probably."
Seeing her laughter made him smile. It was odd, but when she was happy, he was. Phoenix really seemed to be growing fonder of her, the longer they hung out. "Of course… even if I said it now, I'd probably be dead."
"Well, at least she raised you without a potty mouth," Cicada looked back at him with a happy smile. It started to turn fond the longer she smiled at him. It was hard not to connect with him, "Which is probably a good thing."
"True. Savanna use to be the same way… with her new friends that's definitely changed." Phoenix hummed mindlessly talking about his family once again. As soon as he realized, he tried to change the subject. "But anyways, do you have to start off to class?"
"I probably should," Cicada let out a long sigh. She didn't want to go to her next class yet, she was enjoying talking to Phoenix. Or well listening since she really couldn't talk much on the family subject, "Buuuut I don't want to yet."
