Everything stays, right where you left it.
But it still changes, ever so slightly, daily and nightly.
Although the balance of the game had begun to tip firmly in his favor, the happiness and calmness of the simple game of battleship had fallen to the wayside quite quickly as soon as he saw Kaito's reaction. He saw another flash of something unpleasant in the younger male's eyes, and although the other flashed a smile at him, Aurum could see how hard it was being forced, Kaito's voice strained and defensive. It really was beginning to remind the lion more and more of one of Roy's breakdowns, and he found himself extending a paw, intending to help in some way. However, Kaito was already disengaging, yanking himself away from the situation as he lost control of it. Aurum's frown grew as Kaito moved over to the door, and part of him wanted to demand – or really more like gently urge – that Kaito stay. That didn't seem like it would result in much, however. Probably just more panic on Kaito's part, and new, higher walls being brought up. Sighing heavily, the angel shifted before speaking, "Oh, I... I suppose that's alright, Kaito. It was a pleasure to play a game with you as well. If... if you ever need anything, you can come and talk to me, alright?" It was a soft sort of plea, and a sign to let Kaito know that if he needed the support he was rushing away from, he was always welcomed back, even if Aurum wasn't forcing him to stop, tooth and nail.
