Sidon was thoughtfully quiet himself at that pause, at the shift in focus, at the faint feeling of something dropping into his stomach like a piece of bad fish. Everything had been going so wellcharging forward without slowing down to see much where he was going?

It wasn't an unreasonable request, he felt. But a difficult one? He supposed he could understand that.

But he did rather wish it wasn't so difficult.

Still, he smiled, as he nodded, hand to his chin to emphasize his thoughtful look. "A game, you say?" he mused. "I do enjoy games, and I'm actually familiar with that one, as well! But if I say yes to this proposal, I must warn you. I'll not let it absolve you entirely from a story, you know. You'll still owe me one, though it can wait...for another time."
