Steps in the right direction
"He's always trying to get me to play dress-up with him." Toris, now 16, complained to Alfred after a particularly long ordeal involving skirts and dresses. "I Don't even know why he does it. He knows how much I hate wearing dresses."
Feliks, who had happened to be in around the corner of the hallway, overheard this. At this point in time, he had decided that Toris was an okay-enough kind of person, he was nice to talk to sometimes, but he was still boring, especially with his wardrobe. He was only trying to help Toris, but if he didn't want it, that was fine with him. He spotted a guard standing by. Taking his opportunity, knowing that Toris and Alfred were about to come around the corner, decided he wanted to play tricks with Toris's mind. He walked over and started talking to him, batting his eyelashes as he did. The guard laughed, Feliks joining in. At that moment, Toris and Alfred rounded the corner, Toris still complaining to Alfred. Toris noticed the interaction between Feliks and the guard.
"I mean, look at him, Alfred. He's always flirting with the castle guards." He said, short-windedly ending his rant.
Alfred smiled slyly. "Dude, I think you sorta like him. Come on, Fess up!" he said, elbowing Toris in the ribs.
"Ouch." Toris muttered, rubbing the spot where Alfred had rather roughly elbowed him. "To be honest," he said, staring at Feliks again, a light dusting of pink coming to his cheeks as he did. "I'd really like him better if he'd lose at Cards…. Or chess."
Alfred laughed. "Dude, didn't he just end up smashing all the chess pieces together?" he said, recalling a certain chess game.
"Yes." Toris said. "He really didn't play fair at all."
"He's always won against you at cards, though."
"Alfred, please don't rub it in." Toris said, turning and walking away.
Urgh. Sorry, I felt rushed to finish this one. Rejoice! The end of this song is coming! I think it got OOC again….("Practice, practice, practice" is coming. I have some seriously great plans with that one, especially with who I'm casting as the bunny and as the duck.)
