At the back of the motorhome, Zalina sneakily poked her head out from behind a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet, her attention, like a hawk, trained on the onesie-clad duo sitting at the side table. The duo continued their round of checkers, making Zalina narrow her eyes into a suspicious glare and wonder how anyone could play.
As the little kitsune slinked to various hiding spots across the motorhome to get various angles of the Checkers board, Nolazir cupped her chin in exhaustion, a searing pain rushing through her mind at having the misfortune of witnessing her opponent's snail-paced plays. Being so absorbed and lost in thought that she wasn't acknowledging her surroundings, Lily blankly stared at the board, waves and waves of bubbles shooting out her ears as she mimicked Nolazir's idle position.
"Was this piece able to move directly behind an enemy piece... if next to this one," Lily mumbled puzzledly, pointing to some white checker pieces one with a diamond-shaped engraving and the other a wing-shaped one. Nolazir slumped her head aggressively, unable to fathom how Lily could forget the one rule she herself added to the modified version of Checkers.
Nolazir raised her head again, mentally sighing at Lily's inaction and forgetfulness of the rules. But as she watched Lily, Nolazir noticed Zalina peering at the board from over Lily's shoulder, studying the board's layout intently with a lost look in her eyes. Despite the ditsy look in the kitsune's eyes, Nolazir could tell there was more going on in that head of hers than Lily's, giving the ice elf an idea of how to solve the sharkling's extended turn problem.
"Why don't you let her be your teammate?" Nolazir remarked nonchalantly. Lily shot her head up, her cheeks flushing a shade of pink at the implication of Nolazir's words, and her offended expression betraying her thought on the matter as she looked at her friend.
"Are you saying I'm stupid? Cus... you're not wrong, but still.". Lily rubbed the back of her head and sheepishly giggled, feeling mildly embarrassed at seeing Nolazir's unamused expression boring into her. Nolazir bit her lower lip, trying to hold back the building sensation welling up inside her and managing to keep the feeling in check.
"No, I'm saying you're taking forever to make a move, dummy," Nolazir stammered, her voice shaky from the vestiges of her prior burst of emotion and the small part of her trying to break her resistance.

"Oh....". Lily peered over at Zalina, making the shoulder-sitting kitsune look back at her, and gestured for her to go ahead. Zalina nodded, boastfully unfurling one of her kitsune tails from her sudo-onesie before gracefully hovering it to a black fox-eared-engraved piece and moving the piece a single space forward.
A brief silence swept across the room, drawing everyone else's attention to the Checkers board. Zalina was proud of herself, while Nolazir could feel her brain melting.
"That's... one of my pieces," Nolazir grumbled heartily, her breaths growing into dragged breaths and her cheeks shining a bright pink. The elf tightly wrapped her arms around herself, tightly clinging to her chest, and fell sideways before flopping onto the sofa. She uttered a meek but forceful moan, the overwhelming sensation coursing through her body clawing at her senses and making her brain go numb.
Zalina watched Nolazir writhe on the sofa, her elf ear wobbling over the horizon of the table like the fin of a shark. The sight made the kitsune rock forward and faintly purr as her feline brain urged her to swat at Nolazir's swishing ear. Her free tail swayed rhythmically, displaying the little kitsune's mesmerized state, inadvertently brushing it across Lily's face and giving the girl a face full of pink dust.
With a mild coughing fit from inhaling the dust, Lily raised a tentative hand to her shark tail and lightly pinched one of its fins. A cascading heat coursed through her body, making her head feel heavy and her face flushing a faint pink. She couldn't even form a sentence, the flush on her face spreading like wildfire and forcing the sharkling to slump into her sofa as her consciousness wained under the dust's influence.
From a different table, Chronia struggled to budge Zalroth's arm as the duo arm wrestled. Chronia and Zalroth watched the aftermath of Zalina's carnage. Her relentless swatting of Nolazir's ear and her tail slapping against the dazed Lily's face only made the scene even more bizarre.
"She got that from you," Zalroth remarked unamusedly, causing Chronia to meekly chuckle as she closed her eyes in shame.
Luckily for the rich-girl elf, Zalroth abruptly shot his head up, removing his attention from the situation; momentarily confusing her given how the guy's eyes seemed to scan the roof, Chronia pondered on what got into Zalroth but the loud scream up a head quickly fixed the girl's confusion. Releasing his grip on Chronia, Zalroth shot up from his seat before booking it through the sunroof. Left by herself, Chronia huffed in a pout, crossing her arms like a baby.
"It's like he's got an invisible guide... I'd like one of those," Chronia grumbled in a huff, unable to perceive the ball of light mildly contorting space right in front of her. The sphere fluttered about, almost like it was mocking Chronia before it flew up to the sunroof to go after Zalroth.
