James lost the first match, in spite of his confidence. When she won, Aurora shimmered blue and yellow, "Good game fuck!"
James couldn't help but laugh. They'd have to go over how to use that word later. The second match didn't go much differently, nor the third. Eventually, she took it upon herself to switch to an online game, where they would play as teammates. She'd even put on the headset Sally must have been using before he came in, and it slipped down around her neck.
She clicked the microphone toward her mouth, making another attempt at a smile. "I learn many wordsz to-day.", she said glancing at him.
"I can tell. Good job! I'm impressed.", he replied. He decided this was a good way to spend the remainder of the evening, and it gave them a chance to practice her speaking more. He couldn't help thinking how cute she looked bouncing in anticipation for the match, before turning his attention to the screen.
