Clarence had never heard of this game before, so he assumed it was something more modern, as most of the things here were. Perhaps one day he'd have to have a day where he put together some of the old games he played and see if anyone knew what they were or remembered them. It was so strange to think he was technically the oldest among a group of people who were technically, physically he same age as him. Even in terms of mental state, they seemed to be just as matured as he was, for the most part. Yet his life had to be much longer than theirs, as a human, but he assumed they must develop quite a bit faster than humans do, given their shorter lifespans (in most cases). In any case, Clarence was aware that many of his experiences wouldn't match theirs, but he still wanted to put in some effort to be involved with the group. He listened as Orpheus and Ambroise began to play, although the second man seemed rather disgruntled with the whole thing. When Orpheus stated he'd never kissed a lady, Clarence didn't eat one of his jelly beans. He hadn't kissed a lady. He hadn't actually kissed anyone. It was a fact the man was a bit embarrassed about, given most men his age were married by now, but he told himself he hadn't had the time for it and there was no one he was interested in anyway. There wasn't a single woman in all of London he wanted to marry, so he hadn't bothered with it. At Ambroise's specific statement, once again he didn't eat any of his jelly beans. Honestly, he wasn't sure what 'outing' oneself meant but he didn't dare ask. The man seemed to be in a sour mood, as he often was, and Clarence wasn't one to test anyone's patience. Finally, with Orpheus' last statement, he picked up a jelly bean and ate it. He'd been swimming in the ocean many times, having lived near a coast and having been a member of the Navy. Then he seemed to realize it was his turn and he paused a moment, thinking, before speaking, "Never have I ever... um... forgotten to blow out the candles before going to sleep?" It was an important aspect of his life previously but he wasn't sure if it was 'relatable.' Still, he was trying his best.
