[b][i]He gestured for them to sit, as he shuffled the deck.[/i][/b] "The rules of Texas hold 'em are fairly simple. Don't lose all your chips, and get everyone else's. now, people like to assign monetary values and such to the chips, or decide the winner wins a bet or other such manners. Personally I play for the fun of the game, but I'm open to anyoen making a wager." [b][i]He said, as two stacks of poker chips appeared in front of each of them, hard light holograms[/i][/b]

[b][i]Leon would certainly be an opponent. Throughout their game he had taken the leather jacket he usually wore off, revealing his muscular state of being. He could certainly run, but whether she was faster or not was the question.[/i][/b] "So, when this gonna happen?" [b][i]He asked, his tone cool and confident, concealing a tinge if nervousness that none could detect it[/i][/b]
-
"We can after this if you want."says Akiko [i]despite her small looking stature she was actually pretty fast and nimble even if she didn't look it.[/i]
-
"Any time you want to get beat, sweetheart." [b][i]He said in response.[/i][/b]
-
"It's so on after this."says akiko [i]Sylvie giggles seeing the two getting fired up was pretty amusing. Lola pretty much thought the same. [/i]
-
"Ladies, you two are invited to your friend's little 'private showing' if you'd like." [b][i]He said with a grin.[/i][/b]
-
"Sure ok."says Lola "That's if you win." says Sylvie "Yeah if."says Akiko [i]Akiko smirked at him.[/i]
-
"Sometimes 'if' and 'when' mean that same thing." [b][i]He smirked back. He liked Akiko, she had a fire in her that didn't seem to quit.[/i][/b]
-
"Yeah they can be but im gonna win."says Akiko [i]Akiko was the type person once she got fired up there was literally nothing that could slow her down. It was her very outgoing nature of her's. [/i]
-
"We'll see, we'll see." [b][i]He said, as he picked up his drink, finishing the little bit remaining.[/i][/b]
-
"Yes we will."says Akiko [i]Akiko giggles and smirks at him. Lola and Sylvie would definitely watch them race. [/i]
-
[spoiler]Timeskip to when they race? And then PM I assume once a winner has been selected?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yes[/spoiler]

[b][i]After a bit, the group finished their game, exiting the bar. He spoke.[/i][/b] "If I might suggest a point to finish at, there's a nice cherry blossom tree in the first courtyard you see when you come in. It's a good distance from here, and seems like a nice spot to end." [b][i]Leon suggested.[/i][/b]
-
"Alright then that can be the mark then."says Akiko [i]she knows where the tree is that he spoke of. Akiko had flicked her tail absentmindly. She wouldnt easily let him grab her tail. So it definitely would be one hell of a challenge. [/i]
-
[b][i]Leon had a feeling she wouldn't let this end easily, so he was ready to push himself as hard as he could.[/i][/b] "Alright, ready whenever you are."
-
"Alrighty then."says Akiko "On your mark... get set... go!!" Says Sylvie [i]with that Akiko takes starting to run for it the tree. She was definitely listening to behind making sure he didn't try to grab her tail even though he try like hell too.[/i]
-
[b][i]Leon was gunning it from the moment she said go. He was certainly fast, his jacket having been removed to reduce any drag. He made an attempt to grab her tail as he ran, his hand just nearly missing it[/i][/b]
-
[i]she could hear him behind her she giggles when feels a brush air sweep past her tail. She still running pretty fast. [/i]
-
[b][i]Leon knew he had the stamina to keep going, 7 years of military marches and such didn't exactly allow you to get winded easily. He kept going, closer behind her[/i][/b]
-
[i]her ears swivel to his direction allowing her to hear him getting closer. She speeds up a little with a clear giggle. Akiko had a lot of endurance so catching her tail would difficult as it moves when she does.[/i]
-
[b][i]He continued chasing her, making another attempt to grab at her tail[/i][/b]
-
[i]he got closer to grabbing her tail but she moves it out of the way. She knew he was gaining on her as she ran. [/i]
-
[b][i]The gain was slow, and she seemed to catch a break as he stumbled a little bit, giving her a small bit of extra distance.[/i][/b]
-
[i]she was still running though not knowing if the stumbling at all. Lola and Sylvie watched the two as ran.[/i]
-
[b][i]He again kept running, once again making an attempt to grab her tail, his fingers just brushing the tip of it.[/i][/b] [spoiler]im assuming your gonna say when she gets to the tree?[/spoiler]
