He coordinated his next move carefully, placing his pieces to get what he needed. He smiled as he knew at this point at least he had the edge. He grinned when she agreed to the little secrete "Good. I mean no one that knows I'm from Boston will be surprised of course...but still. I have a reputation to maintain" He winked back at her. "I love the worldwide appeal of the Olympics. The idea of the peaceful competition the entire world got involved in was a nice idea. It showed that peace was possible even in these times.
Then she asked about the riddle room and he started thinking about that. "Well you get a certain amount time to solve riddles in order to escape a room. That'sh really the best way to describe it. The group works together to solve puzzles, discover clues...all to escape the room. It's more fun then I thought it would be at first. What about you? What else do you like other than being on the swim team? " He asked as he admitted as he then ended his move, looking to her face and then her board to see her next move

Maera watched him carefully as he took his turn. Her lips turned downward as her plans seemed to be slipping. She sighed as she shuffled the cards around a few times. It seemed as if Lawrence would win this game. As always, she would not go down with out a fight.
"Solving puzzles and getting out of a room sounds like it could be fun with the right people." She played her turn as she waited for just a moment before answering his question. Her time was spent mainly jumping from place to place. "Funnily, it usually involves water. I love scuba diving when I get the chance. It is fun to see what is below the surface. Reading can be lots of fun as well chess when I have someone to play against."

Lawrence saw her that he was in the lead but she was coming from behind. He chuckled when it came what she said she was interesting "I'm not surprised. We are all more comfortable in our own element." He said taking his turn. This game was coming down to the wire. "I will say that scuba diving sounds fun. Out of all of the ecosystems of the earth it's the oceans we know least about due to the depth. I've never done so though. Never had the chance." he said with a shrug.

Maera smiled as she listened to Lawrence. It was refreshing that his focus was in the game and her hobbies. Most of what she enjoys doing was what she could take with her. It was the easiest as she was carted from home to home.
She picked a card as her face turned downwards. She pulled her trump card as her poker face stayed. Depending on his next turn or two, she might pull a victory out of thin air. She took her turn as she looked over to him.
"The water feels like home. I enjoy being around it when I can. Part of this would from when I lived in Florida. If you want, I can take you scuba diving at some point. I think there is a rental place close by."

Lawrence smiled "I'd like that. I feel at home in the forest. The sound of the wind in the trees, and the sound of the crickets and birds around. Probably in the same way you feel about water. When I was young sister and I went camping in the Appellation Mountains up in Vermont sometimes during the summers. I didn't understand until my powers surfaced why I felt that way but it was always my favorite part of those summers. I felt so free and it was so peaceful" He said with a smile. He didn't outright say it but he always wanted a nice house out in the woods. He took his turn while he thought of it. This would be another close game "I have found a mighty adversary it seems..." he said with a wink and laugh as he was seeing that she was coming from behind.

Maera's smile widened as he talked about the forest. She felt an odd kinship to him as he knew what it was like to be in one's element. She nodded her head as he described the forests. She never had gone to the woods when she was younger. "Maybe we can go for a hike? I mainly had palm trees every where so it would be nice to see."
She watched him take his turn as her heart sank a little. It seems her card would not fully save her from defeat. Her cheeks colored slightly as he winked at her. She cleared her throat as she concentrated on her hand. She took in a deep breath as she moved a few resources around and then play her cards. She had a feeling that the game would probably be over in a turn or two.

Lawrence smiled as he won the game "oh yeah....." he shook himself back and forth in order to do a goofy victory dance. He was glad that someone understood his deep connection to earth as not many had that strongly in tune with one's element. "Good game though!" He said with a smile. "And as far as that hike I'd be glad to. I like palm trees but there is a nice peace in a river valley pines. If it's not too far to the Appellation mountains that is" He said with a smile. He noticed her flush a little earlier but though nothing of it. Right now he was happy to have someone who understood him. "It was a nice place that he knew she would find peace in too with the river. It was the perfect mix of the sound of the river as well as beauty of the trees and flowers all around. Once in a while you'd see a wild deer." He said his smile not fading.

Maera placed her cards on the table as she sighed. The final game had not gone in her favor. She sat back in the chair as her legs crossed. She tapped her foot in the air as she looked at him. A smile crossed her lips as she saw the dance. A soft laugh left her lips. "It was a close game so don't get too cocky over there. You are just lucky the cards were not in my favor."
She nodded as he talked about the hike. It would be lots of fun to see the woods, something she never experienced. He talked about the river and trees. It would be the best of both worlds for them. "It sounds like a good time. The river sounds relaxing. Do you have any free time coming up? I want to pencil this in so we don't forget."
