Ash gave a faint gasp.
"Oh dear!" He chuckled a bit. "Well, this is intense indeed." He smiled a bit.

Laura grinned, giggling softly at his playfulness. She was sitting up on her knees, growing rather excited as she reached out for the spinner.
"It is!" Laura chirped, flicking the arrow to make it spin. When it started to slow down, you could see the anxiousness on her face. She was definitely taking this a lot more serious than she had before. When it stopped, her smile grew as it landed on a four.

As had held his breath when Laura spun, then let out a light laugh.
"You win!" He said, leaning over to hug her with a grin.

Laura grinned, leaning into the hug with a little buzz of excitement. Her eyes were bright, and smile brighter.
"That was fun!" She chirped a bit, looking up to Mr. Ash.

"I'm glad it was!" Ash said. He hummed, picking up the pieces to put back in the box.
"You win, so we'll watch a movie together." He smiled.

Laura seemed a little extra happy at that, helping to pick up the rest of the pieces.
"After dinner?" She asked softly, folding the board once it was clear.

"After dinner," Ash confirmed. He smiled, setting the lid on the box when they finished.
"I wonder what we're going to have today. I never have been good at keeping track of what I'm eating." Ash chuckled a bit.

Laura giggled softly, getting up off the floor.
"Mm, we could go ask?" She offered in a soft tone, starting to play with the sleeves of her shirt.

"We can if you want," Ash said. He stood, offering his hand to her.

Laura sucked in a deep breath, before nodding a little. She reached for his hand, holding on tightly to him.
"Is there gonna be a lot of people, sir?"

Ash shook his head.
"No, there won't be at this time. Would you like me to carry you again?" He gave Laura a gentle look.

"I- um…" Laura trailed, kicking at the ground a little. She peered up at him with a little nod.
"Kind of… if you don't mind, sir…"

Ash smiled gently, bending down to pick Laura up and hold her to his chest.
"I enjoy carrying you," he said softly, smiling at her.

“You do?” Laura asked softly, burying her face into his shoulder. She really liked being able to stick close to him. She felt more safe and secure in his arms.

"I do." Ash smiled, rubbing Laura's back a bit. He held her close a moment.
"You ready to head out?" He asked softly, giving Laura time to prepare herself.

Laura nodded a little, looking up at him with a weak smile. She was as ready as she was going to be.
"Yes, sir… whenever you're ready." She mumbled, curling up in his arms.

Ash lightly patted Laura's back, waiting a moment more. He stepped out of the room into the hall. Thankfully, there was no one else out there.

Laura looked up at Mr. Ash with a little smile, resting her chin on his shoulder. She hummed a little, still a little buzzy from the game.
“Who makes dinner, sir?” She asked softly, glancing around the hall.

"Well, today it is… Miss Hinata's turn to make food. The owner." Ash hummed a bit, making his way through the halls to the kitchen.

“So… we’re going to talk to her?” Laura asked softly, staying curled up close. Her gaze focused on his face as they made their way through the halls.
Besides being a little fidgety, she didn’t seem to nervous right now.

Ash nodded a bit.
"Just to ask about dinner. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to, promise."

Laura nodded a bit, dropping her head on his shoulder gently.
“Alright, sir. I- um… I might say hi.” She mumbled, playing with the folds in his shirt once more.

"Only if you feel like you can handle it," Ash said gently. Ash lightly patted Laura's back.

"I-I think so… I-I want to be nice…" Laura mumbled, letting out a soft sigh. When he started patting her, she grew more cuddly.
"Her name is Miss Hinata?" She asked.

"Yes, that's her name," Ash said softly. "And she'll be perfectly fine with it if you don't feel ready to talk to her."
