Chase was once again running his regrets through his mind as he watched Jack draw squares on the ground with chalk. He didn't even try to understand what the pattern of the squares meant or why he was holding a small stone in his hand.

"There, perfect!" Jack hopped from where he was crouching and went over to Chase, leaving his piece of chalk.

"What is this supposed to be? Are we summoning something? I am not partaking in some sort of demonic ritual." Chase said.

"Dude, we're playing hopscotch, not releasing Satan." Jack chuckled and pointed towards the squares he drew. "Now, the object of this game is to make it to the other end by hopping through the squares." Jack picked up a stone from the ground. "You have to toss your rock onto a square and that's where you hop to. When you make it to the square before the one the rock is, you have to bend over and pick it up and you repeat till you reach the end."

"This is ridiculous." Chase scoffed.

"You haven't even tried it yet."

"Do I need to?"

"Come on, you've made me do weird things for the lessons you taught me." Jack protested.

"Making you get out of bed before noon doesn't really qualify as a 'weird thing'." Chase stated.

"Just try it. Here, I'll go first." Jack went to the beginning of the squares and gently tossed his stone. Chase wondered if he could just walk away as Jack skipped through the squares. Then again, he's not in the mood to listen to Jack's whining and what was being asked of him wasn't too terrible. Embarrassing and childish, yes, but dangerous, no. If Jack Spicer could do it with no problem, a warlord should be able to accomplish the task even better. "Your turn." Jack called from the end of the squares.

"I can not believe I'm doing this." Chase sighed. "And I better not hear a single thing from you two." He warned Nani and Niso, who were sitting together against one of the room's wall. Chase saw a third warrior enter the room, going straight to the two panthers. He was a young cheetah named Liam who was showing a strong attachment to them ever since Raja passed.

"Are you gonna go or not? Or do I need to show you how it's done again?" Jack asked. Chase gave a quick glare of warning before tossing the stone, it landing on the very last square. "Lucky throw." Jack muttered. Chase chuckled a little before putting a foot on the first square, remembering how Jack performed, he put his other leg up so he was now balancing. He hasn't even properly started this game and he already felt like a fool.

Chase chuckled a little before putting a foot on the first square, remembering how Jack performed, he put his other leg up so he was now balancing. He hasn't even properly started this game and he already felt like a fool. Chase decided that it was too late for him to go back and hopped to the next square. He followed the pattern of the squares, keeping one leg up when there was only one square and putting both down when there were two. The squares were put in places to where it didn't get repetitive and actually took a small bit of effort to do. Chase bent over and grabbed his stone before doing the last hop, tossing the stone in the air and catching it as he walked away from the chalk squares, an idea in his head.

"These games could come in handy for you." Chase said.

"What does that mean?" Jack asked, a hint of fear in his voice.

"We'll discuss that later. I'm going to allow you to finish your 'playing lessons', then I'll show you what I have planned." Chase dropped his stone.

"Why is it that I don't feel safe?" Jack yelped a little when Chase grabbed him by the waist and pulled him close.

"Now, why wouldn't you feel safe with me?" Chase asked in a low voice.

"The anger issues, the using me as a punching bag multiple times, the being tossed off of the cliff by you, the-" Jack's list was cut off by Chase kissing him.

"That was what you called a 'rhetorical question'." Chase said.

"I know, I just wanted you to cut me off." Jack smirked.

"I could cut you off in other ways." Chase wrapped both arms around Jack and held him closer, giving Jack's jaw a few quick kisses.

"I-I...I mean...we...ugh." Jack stammered out his words.

"Could you two be any more disgusting." Wuya scoffed as she flew into the room. "Or if you are going to partake in those actions, don't do it in front of the warriors you claim to care for so much."

"Ever considered knocking?" Chase growled, releasing Jack.

"Yeah, knocking, not really my thing at the moment." Wuya went between the two men and flew around Jack's head as she spoke.

"What do you want?" Jack asked.

"Truthfully, I got bored and I wanted to see what you two were up to." Wuya started to leave the room. "And I kind of saw more than I ever wanted to in my immortal existence. Have fun with your little games." She called out the last part after she was out of sight.

"Doesn't that just ruin the mood." Chase muttered. "Spicer, what are you doing?" He asked when Jack started playing some music.

"We're gonna play Marco Polo and we're way too good at hearing so I'm making it a little harder for you." Jack explained.

"Marco Polo?"

"You're it first, what you do is close your eyes and call out 'Marco' and I'll respond with 'Polo' and the goal is to catch me."

"Fine." Chase huffed, not bothering with arguing this time, knowing what the outcome would be. Chase closed his eyes and waited a moment to allow Jack to get ready, he could hear Jack's footsteps, but the music made it hard for him to detect which way the young man went. "Marco." He said.

"Polo!" Jack yelled, standing right behind Chase. Jack ran off before he even finished the word and watched Chase turn around, a scowl on his face.

"Marco." Chase repeated.

"Polo!" Jack ran as he yelled, going over to the warriors. He quickly whispered into Niso's ear and the warrior let out a purr of amusement before getting up.

"Marco."

"Polo!" Chase stopped when he heard that Jack was getting closer to him. He waited to see what the young man was up to. The warlord felt something press against the back of his legs and heard loud and fast footsteps heading for him.

"Spic-" Chase grunted when Jack jumped on him and he tripped over Niso. Chase opened his eyes and saw Jack sitting on top of him with a large smile on his face, obviously proud of what he'd done. "Niso!" He snapped at the warrior when he realized that he had been behind him and caused him to fall over when Jack jumped on him. Niso let out a mew of innocence and ran off.

"Time to play cops and robbers I guess. Try to catch us, officer" Jack winked before scrambling off of him and running away.

"Is cops and robbers like tag?" Chase asked Nani, who had walked over with Liam to check on him. Nani shrugged in response. "Whatever it is, there's no way I'm losing." Chase chuckled and finally got off of the floor, going after the two who tripped him.
