I Hope This Will Never End... (Not Accepting!)

[anthem lights.]

Mary looked down at her injured foot. "I guess we can't do too much..." she said, trailing off.

[Qiokkabee]

Xanther frowned as he looked down at her foot. "-Yeah...maybe chess? Er, nevermind..."

[anthem lights.]

Mary frowned a bit. "I don't know how to play chess." She said. "I might clean my room a bit. It has probably gotten dirty since the last time I've been in it. "

[Qiokkabee]

Xanther nodded. "Um, d-do you need any...h....well, I-I think should....clean my room too..."

[anthem lights.]

"We could do mine first and then we could clean yours...?' Mary suggested. Shed probably need help anyway. You can only do so much with a hurt foot.

[Qiokkabee]

Xanther bit his lip but nodded. "um, alrighty? Uh, y-your room first?"

[anthem lights.]

Mary nodded. "Sure." She replied, standing up carefully out of the chair.

[Qiokkabee]

Xanther bit his lip nervously as she stood and hesitated before quietly offering," d-do you...need help?"

[anthem lights.]

Mary smiled at Xanther's offer. "No thanks, I think I've got it." She replied, standing up fully now. She started to hop lightly on one foot toward her room. "Maybe we could find crutches somewhere..." she said, talking to herself.

[Qiokkabee]

Xanther blushed slightly and slowly followed, listening to her carefully as she spoke to herself.
