"We have all three Pearls. We deserve a day off I think, right? It's been like two weeks for us... More like a week and a half for Nemo."

"We must renew ourselves for the final bout of punching and kicking!"

"We did take half a day off at Forest Haven four 'days' ago."

"Yeah, but we might get squashed if we're tired."

"Good point. Let's go play Gren's Rito board game thing it looks fun."

"Fun it is."

Nemo doesn't even cheat a little bit. No sir.

Though he does make a 'mistake' or two and not bother to correct it unless someone else notices.

Tabby notices, and is impressed. She makes a few "mistakes", too.

He winks at her.

Gren and Zeke probably don't notice, which makes it all the more fun.

Tricking is the purpose of younger brothers, even if only by a couple of minutes.

"Congrats on winning, Tabby! Wow, you seemed to get really lucky. Bet it won't happen again."

"Fear my vampire might!"

"Board games are the one place where vampire might shouldn't affect things. Everyone plays by the same rules, right?"

"Vampire brains are faster, I think."

"But this is a pretty simple game. I could mostly tell what you all were planning to do and lost anyway."

Victory dance is preformed anyway.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's play again and I'll win this time."

They do so.

Gren calls Tabby's and Nick's mistakes this time. But doesn't accuse them of being "mistakes".

"We're very sorry."

"Well, now you know."

"And knowing is half the battle!"

Gren looks at her funny, then keeps playing.

She wins this round.

Zeke claps. 

"Maybe I should go fix that bridge."

"I bet you'll need rope."
