He wasn't dense, never intentionally at least. But Lazerat did try to learn more before making too big of assumptions and thinking Zoremet was interested in him fell into that category. But the way he blushed after stating he'd like to play with him was starting to make the picture a lot clearer. The glances and the way he leaned in as they walked there had been clues but nothing concrete. All that said, Lazerat wasn't sure how to proceed still. Zoremet was cute but also a friend of Zelly's. And there was that little fact that he had only fooled around a handful of times with one of the ship's crewmen.
What was life if not one big adventure of exploring, experimenting, and growing? He'd wing it and go from there.
"There are a few different rules for darts. Some just like the challenge of going for the bullseye while others have you targeting a certain number. If A'tay hasn't found us by the time we're done eating, we can play a bit." He grinned, trying not to be overt in his flirting but still dropping the ambiguous word.
A swig of ale washed down some more potatoes as Lazerat thought about what other games were played. Surely they weren't that different from what the Weyrs did? "There's checkers and chess and various card games. Tile rummy is a lot of fun though I know some men who think it's for ladies." He may have thought that when he was a kid since he mostly saw his mom and her friends playing it but as he got older, it was just like a game of cards but with little wooden tiles. The clinking was also way more satisfying than setting down a card.
With his potatoes finished, Lazerat turned his attention back to his fish before it got cold. As he did, he noticed Shadow inching closer. He'd forgotten the blue and his green friend had been with them for a while. But now it seemed their little bellies had brought them back from whatever they had been up to. "Oh fine," Lazerat pouted as he broke off a small piece of fish and held it out to Shadow. "You better tell A'tay how much I clearly like you both to be sharing that."
