It wanted to be an idea but it was just embarrassing instead.

"You mean like hot potato?" Declan asked a little confused as he raised an eyebrow. He laughed a little and turned to Althea. "You heard our brother? He wants to play hot exploding potato with his arms."

Levi had worked out the most ridiculous sort of game, which made Althea stare, wide-eyed, in disbelief. "You know Levi isn't right in the head, it's just becoming more apparent with each passing year." In reality she had no right to speak; they were all ridiculous and touched in their own way.

"What about something similar to Wizard Chess? Like...what is that muggle game called," she tapped her chin as she thought for a moment. "Ah! You know those strategy board games? Like that have the little pieces that you move around and they're war-based? We could do something like that but with charmed pieces." She was thinking charmed in the way of how violent Wizard Chess tended to be. It could be fun to see the little pieces fight against each other. "Or maybe we can do a variation of that one game...Dragons and something...Drapes and Dungeons? No." She'd forgotten the name, but it was all fantasy and make-believe, and people were really into it for a long time.

Levi was already halfway done with the cupcake by the time he made it back to his siblings and only caught the end of Althea's idea. "Guess my game has been discussed and promptly rejected, then." Levi wasn't bitter. He had not been attached and truthfully, he'd already halfway forgotten it. He sat down, finished his cupcake and crossed his ankles.

He wiped his hands on his robes, then scratched the tip of his nose. "Hm." A war game didn't sound so bad. Levi shot Althea an appraising look. "Would it still be a war game?" This was the part that interested him. "Would it be about who stops the war or who wins it?" He took his self inking quill and scrawled WAR GAME at the center of his parchment. "And assuming it's about winning the war, then what would they be winning?" Land? Gold?
