"I'll consider it" is as good as yes in his books
It was a slow day today, summer and all meant he had no school or classes, and since it was a weekend...no work at that internship he'd gotten for the summer either. But he did remember a certain secluded scientist mutant who'd agreed to go out for pizza one day. Sure he'd seemed a little...unenthusiastic about the whole thing but hey, the guy needed to get out sometime.

So Vlad got dressed to go outside, grabbed car keys and went off to go find Fred, wherever the guy might be.

	Fred seemed to look around for a moment, as if someone may hear him, before responding. "Checkers," he said simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-30 01:36 am UTC (link)
	Not exactly something he'd have guessed. Chess maybe. But hey,at least he was getting somewhere. "Well that's not hard to arrange, I know there's checkers sets in the mansion. I can play, or Sylvie, or whoever is free." Not a bad choice though, only needed one other person and at least it was a bit social. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"To me it just seems a simpler form of chess. I mean..I think deeply all the time for my work..so why would I want to continue doing so in my off-hours," Fred explained. "Checkers seemed more fun and less involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-30 01:45 am UTC (link)
	He nodded in agreement. "Hey, makes perfect sense. And yeah, checkers is a much lighter games and way easier to learn and pick up too. I'll show you where the sets are when we get back so you can pick one up and find one of us to play against." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really? Well..thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-30 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"For what?" He chuckled. "You've got nothing to thank me for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-30 01:52 am UTC (link)
	Fred looks sheepish for a moment. "I know I have not been the most..agreeable tenant." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-30 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Vlad shrugged it off. "So it goes. Others have been less agreeable too, and we all have our moments of it. But you agreed to go out for pizza and tolerate me so, you're...more agreeable than you think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-30 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"I have been..bound in old ways of thinking I suppose. It kept me from really seeing you all as more than allies of convenience for a long time..or my own views of what it meant to be a mutant," he confessed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"But you're getting out of them, that's progress," he pointed out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His face glosses over with a look of regret. "..I have not been as good to Sylvie as I should have been." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	under_the_skin 2013-07-31 01:41 am UTC (link)
	He gives Fred a friendly and comforting smile. "Can't change the past but you can always do something about the present. Make it up to Sylvie somehow? Show her you're thankful and care and so on? Little goes a long way," he shrugged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-31 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"I..suppose that is true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give it a shot. Can't hurt right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2013-07-31 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"True enough," Fred conceded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Finally the steaming large pizza arrives, with meat piled on top of it, Vlad just grins and thanks the waitress before rubbing his hands in anticipation. (Reply to this)(Parent)
