End to an Era [Yui]

[Keita Karube]

He nodded, "I think you might enjoy it," he said, standing up and descending to get back into his room.

[Yui Aoyama]

Yui smiled, watching him go, before leaning her back against the roof, slipping out of the uniform jacket, using it as something to lay her back on instead as she looked up at the sky. She wondered what it would be like to tan up here....but that might be presuming upon the hospitality.

[Keita Karube]

He returned a little later with board in hand and the sets of stones. He climbed back to her and sat down, setting it down between them, "I'll teach you; it shouldn't take long," he said with a smile.

[Yui Aoyama]

Her face was a little flush from the light tan, but she sat up a bit, smiling as she regarded the board, and him. "Alright, I am ready."

[Keita Karube]

He spent time explaining the idea of the game, and how to play, taking about fifteen minutes to cover everything for her.

[Yui Aoyama]

Yui smiled a bit, listening intently over that period.

[Keita Karube]

"Would you like to play? Or would you like to do something else?"

[Yui Aoyama]

"I will try my hand at playing this." Yui said. "But I will probably lose to you."

[Keita Karube]

"Maybe not," he said, "It's traditional to give the weaker player a handicap of points in order to make it fair."

[Yui Aoyama]

"I wouldn't mind losing to you." She murmured softly. "But I thank you for that. Let us begin."

[Keita Karube]

"Twenty points to you," he said, giving a handicap and beginning a game which would last for about an hour.

[Yui Aoyama]

Yui would go through the game, stumbling in places, but catching on..

[Keita Karube]

"You're doing pretty well," he said.

[Yui Aoyama]

"Thanks.." She said softly, concentrating...they would be tied near the end of the game. (or something like that)

[Keita Karube]

Ties are possible.

"You picked this up fast," he said, "To be keeping up like this." He smiled, impressed. There certainly was a reason he liked her.
