Etzia hesitates, sensing the genuine warmth in Aesira's tone. She lets Aesira enter the house, and they both make their way to the living room. Cyd went to hiding and Aziel is sitting at the couch.
Aesira
settling onto the couch "While we wait, do you have any board games?"
Etzia
shaking her head "No, unfortunately. Why should buy them?"
Aesira
"So how do you have fun then?"
Etzia
fidgeting slightly, a hint of frustration showing "So, um, what do you... like to do for fun?"
Aesira
smiling gently "Fun? That's an interesting question. I suppose it varies. I find some joy in... strategy games. They challenge the mind, you know?"
Etzia
nods slowly, trying to understand "Sounds... complicated. I don't really play games much."
Aesira
leans forward, genuinely curious "Really? What about hobbies? Reading? Drawing? Anything like that?"
Etzia: shrugs slightly, feeling a bit hesitate "I read sometimes. But mostly, I just... I don't do much."
Suddenly Aesira brought board games with her.
Etzia:
noticing the stack of board games Aesira placed on the table "Aesira, I must ask—why did you carry all these board games with you?"
Aesira
grinning sheepishly "I... well, I thought they might be fun. You know, to pass the time and it come handy."
Etzia
raising an eyebrow, intrigued "Fun? You mean, for us to play together?"
Aesira
shrugging slightly "Yes, but mostly for myself. I like them. It's... easier that way."
Etzia
leaning forward, her curiosity piqued "Easier? Why would it be easier to play alone?"
Aesira
pausing for a moment, considering her words "People can be... overwhelming. Games don't judge. They just offer a challenge, and I can lose myself in them without the pressure of social interactions."
Etzia
nodding slowly, beginning to understand "I see. So, you brought them to... socialize?"
Aesira
"Exactly. But... I guess having you here changes things a bit." Her gaze softens as she looks at Etzia.
Etzia
leaning back, curious "Changes how?"
Aesira
"I mean, you're not like others. You make it... interesting. You challenge how I view things and tell me what kind of person you are. It's refreshing."
Etzia
"It's nice I guess."
Aesira: smiling warmly "Exactly! Sometimes, opening up with someone can lead to unexpected fun. It's like a game in itself, trying to understand each other."

FantasyHey! Just a heads-up-this story might feel a little rushed and has its fair share of plot holes. It's my first time writing something with script-style dialogue and pacing, so I'm still figuring things out. Thanks for giving it a chance! ***********...
