Nik shrugged faintly, looking around.

Derlik sighed again, starting around the gym.

Nik bit his lip.

Derlik was silent, happiness from before gone. Something had ticked him off.

Nik watched him quietly. Smoke was still in Derlik's pocket.

Derlik frowned a bit, reaching up to scratch Smoke's head.
"I don't like this…"

Smoke looked up at him. "What?"

"These kids weren't even trying to play before I showed up, all of them on their phones…" Derlik shook his head.

(ok boomer)

Smoke frowned slightly. "So?"

"Look, don't get me wrong, I love the advances human's are making, but honestly? Nothing beats old fashioned chaos. Sure, you can do a lot of it online, but what's better than tackling someone to the ground for taking you're perceived spot?" Derlik sighed.

Smoke cocked his head faintly, then shrugged.

Derlik sighed. He patted Smoke's head lightly, moving around the gym still. By the time he was done, a very… competitive game of dodge ball had started.

Smoke was quiet, still in Derlik's pocket.

Derlik hummed, watching. He ducked out of the way of a stray ball, making his way over to Nik. He lifted Smoke out of his pocket, smiling.

Nik was quiet, looking up when Derlik came back.

Derlik sighed a bit, still smiling.
"Well?"

Nik shrugged slightly.

Derlik nodded.
"Here, careful of the dodgeballs."

He nodded a little. "I know."

Derlik looked around, smiling softly.
"Better than yesterday?"

He blinked, thinking. "Uhm…I don't know."

Derlik sighed, smile dropping.
"I see."

He looked down at his toes.

Derlik looked around once more.
"Shall we go?" his voice was a bit dry.

"Sure." He replied softly.

Derlik took Nik's hand, still seeming to not be in a good mood.

Nik swallowed faintly, standing still.

Derlik closed his eyes a moment, perhaps to calm himself, then brought Nik to their next stop, an arcade.

Nik bit his lip faintly.

Derlik stayed in a bad mood, letting go of Nik's hand as he went about. Even as machines started spitting coins or tickets out, and people were growing competitive and trying to beat the next high score, he had a frown on his face.
