Chapter 2- When Kinoc's away…Seymour will play

Seymour gave a small smirk "whatever's the matter Wakka? Lost your way to the door?" he pushed past the frozen Wakka and stopped dead in his tracks "Wait a minute…"

Wakka slunk to the floor "we're trapped. We could be here for hours…"

Seymour turned around with a sly grin "well, I know of something we could do to pass the time away…"

Half an hour later….

Wakka gave Seymour a strange look "Maester! For the last time I am not playing 'go fish', strip poker style!"

Seymour held out the well worn cards "look it's not hard; I've already explained the rules to you! Maester Kinoc and I play this all the time!"

Wakka shuddered from the mental image of a scantily clad Maester Kinoc, but quickly pushed the image aside when he saw Seymour advance with a mischievous glint in his eye…

"I'm even going easy on you; I make Maester Kinoc play with dares as well as strip poker style!"   He chuckled "I tried to make Yuna play once, but she only went to her bra, I almost had to-"

"Heh! Hehehehehe! Don't give me anything else to create nightmares from! Ya?"

Seymour pouted "come on; don't make me order you as a Grand Maester of Yevon. It'll be more fun if you play willingly…" he waved the cards at Wakka in a last attempt to coax him into playing.

Wakka shook his head "no way! I'd rather spend an evening playing dodge ball with those damn Al Bhed Psyches! Ya?" he shuddered "they always throw those poison balls at me really hard ya?"

Thinking about it he gave a little choked sob, showing how traumatising an experience it had been. Seymour moved closer and gave a comforting squeeze…just not in a comforting place.

Wakka jumped up in the air, clutching his rear end "that is not a place a Maester should squeeze! Ya?"

Seymour gave a little sigh "I was only being comforting and supporting."

His reply was a glare from Wakka "you can be supporting without having to grope my rear end, ya?"

The mischievous glint in Seymour's eye had reappeared so Wakka hastily backing away as the cards reappeared.

"Oooo go on," Seymour grinned "don't make me beg."

Wakka shuddered "no, please no"

Seymour chuckled "Why Wakka, don't you like the idea of a Grand Maester of Yevon begging on his knees?"

Wakka shook his head, fear in his eyes "I know what you'd do to beg if you got too close"

Seymour laughed and Wakka gave a small yelp of terror as he closed in on him, shuffling a deck of cards.
