Carlos Goes For It (Possesive, Preening)

Carlos watched his token, the penguin, waddle forward, its body moving like an actual penguin. He didn't exactly know how it worked, but damn it was cool to watch. "So, how do you play?" Carlos looked back at Jackson who was now slightly pale. The blush from before was still there but his eyes held more fear than anything else. "Is something wrong?"

Jackson quickly shook his head, "No. Nothing is wrong." Despite his words he was still tense, his eyes staring at the board with anxiety. "U-uhm. You play by drawing cards. It auto moves you." Carlos got up to the boy, wrapping an arm around him.

"Its going to be okay. It's just a game." Jackson nodded, his body relaxing the slightest bit. Carlos couldn't help but grin at the fact he got the guy to calm down from what seemed to be the start of a panic attack. "I'll draw first." The board once again seemed to make a ripple at the words before either of could notice. Carlos looked back at the game with a soft smile.

He grabbed a card, watching in fascination as he penguin walked up four steps. He looked back to his card, confused at the change from its previously blank appearance. Now it sat a little portrait of a penguin in the mirror, holding what appeared to be a pebble in its mouth. He flipped the card, chuckling a little at the image. "Possesive; You don't like sharing what is yours. Move 4 spaces."

Carlos looked back to the deck then over to Jackson. His eyes almost seemed to shine as he looked over the boy. With a cheeky smile he reached out to the deck again. "How many cards are you allowed to draw?"

"I- don't remember." With a laugh Carlos plucked another card. "Hey, why are you laughing!"

"You don't pay much attention do you?" Jackson huffed and crossed his arms. Carlos simply chuckled before looking back to his card. "Preening; Cleaning has never come more naturally. Move 2." Carlos reached out again to draw but Jackson seemed to have enough. With a huff he pushed the man away from the game, ready to start his turn to end this nightmare of a joke.
