"Oh, yeah." Yes, he did like chocolate. Well that was one question she wouldn't have to ask, right? Tea in hand, he followed Circe to the table, gratefully accepting the spookies. He had been fully prepared and willing to pay for them himself, or at least carry them to the table, but she had beaten him to it and he didn't argue. "Thank you." Sitting down at the table, he took a sip of his tea before picking up one of the spookies. He paused, blinking as he looked to Circe, question game? "What do you mean?"

As she stuffed her mouth with one donut she smiled with her now chubby cheeks. "You're welcome." Was what she got out around the food in her mouth. Sure it was probably not the smartest idea let alone the most appealing to talk with your mouth full but these were donuts and they were like her crack. It was impossible for her NOT to shove them all in her mouth as fast as possible.
When her mouth was finally cleared she explained to the boil what the game was. "The questions game is where you ask random questions. It's almost like playing truth or scare but you don't have to answer and the consequences aren't as bad." She ended with a nod. Then shook her head. Maybe it was better if she started and showed him what she meant.
"Example. Sheridan, do you have a ghoulfriend?!" Circe asked a bit to excitedly then she should have. She cleared her throat and calmed herself a bit even though she was just DYING to know anything and everything about the boil. This seemed like the best way to start off.

He had taken a small bite of his spookie before he noticed Circe had already scarfed down an entire donut. A brow raised. Wow, he guessed she really did like donuts! Maybe even more than he liked chocolate. Well, there was a time he would have scarfed that cookie almost as quickly as she had that donut, but though he enjoyed the spookie, he just didn't feel up to scarfing, or maybe it was that he felt the need to savor every taste as long as he could. Another small bite as he listened to Circe explain the rules of the 'game'. Oh, okay, he thought he got it, maybe. They were just supposed to ask questions about each other? That seemed simple enough, though he wasn't sure how it qualified as a game. "Okay." Blink, blink. He stared at her a moment, someone surprised by her first question. A moment of silence and he shook his head. "No, I don't." Unless she meant a friend that was also a ghoul, in which case he had several, but he didn't think that was what she meant.

Circe made a light humph like noise as she folded her hands over her chest. "Why not?" She asked before letting her hands drop so that she could eat another donut or two. With her mouth once more full she decided to continue. "You--'re tu-r-nah." The ghoul mumbled as she chewed once more on the donut before swallowing.
One thing that bothered her was that she hated the idea that Sheridan was alone. Even though he had other friends she still felt like he was just, alone, like she had been for a long time. If he had a ghoulfriend then he wouldn't be. Though there were certainly a variety of other ways he could not be alone anymore. She would just have to hangout with him all the time. Circe couldn't help herself from asking another question despite it being his turn. "Do you have a boilfriend?"

"I...I don't know, I just don't." He blinked, uncertain why she seemed...unhappy with his answer. He'd never really thought much about a ghoulfriend. It wasn't that he didn't like ghouls, or that he didn't enjoy their friendship, or...well he just hadn't really thought about it. Maybe he was still trying to figure them out (good luck with that one, Sheridan!). Wait, what? "N...no." He shook his head, no, he definitely did not have a boilfriend. Unfortunately he did not have a question either, currently distracting himself with a sip of tea and another bite of his spookie. Maybe if he stalled long enough he'd think of something... Oh... "Do you like to read?"

Circe couldn't hold back the light hearted laugh that bellowed from her at his response to the boilfriend question. "Ohhh. So there is just one you like?" She asked, now totally teasing and maybe even picking on him. But it was all in good fun.
His own question caught her off guard. He thought she could read! That alone made her happy. The way she acted most people found it hard to believe she was able to put two thoughts together let alone read. "Yes I do! I'm actually reading a biography of one of the late mayors." Circe nodded. It wasn't the most interesting book to others but she would read just about anything. Let alone everything.
"What's your favorite book?" Circe asked once more picking up more questions for the boil even though she wanted him to be able to talk to. "Do you watch any movies?" Circe further questioned.

"No." He shook his head again, there weren't any boils that he 'liked', he didn't swing that way. He had shifted in his seat, quietly munching on his spookie as he listened to her answer with genuine interest. The dragon had learned long ago not to judge on appearances or first impressions. As such any thought or assumption of her not being able to read would have never occurred to him. "I mostly read scientific books, but I read a lot of literature as well" ...and maybe a few science fiction books here and there, or maybe a lot...maybe. His favorite book? That was a good question. Did he have any one favorite in particular? He really wasn't sure if he could pick out any one favorite. He was still debating this question when she asked her next one, well that one he could at least answer. "I do, sometimes." Though he wasn't sure if he could remember the last one he'd watched if asked. He did like science fiction though. What should he ask her now? Wow, he was really bad at this 'game'.

"Scientific books?" She asked, wondering what exactly he meant. Was he like the zombie's? Always trying to experiment and create more life? Or was he just reading something more on the lines with theory's of how things where the way they were?
Circe munched on several more donuts, which allowed her to finish off a whole box herself. She could have eaten the other but she remembered that they were going to play laser tag. Or spider laser as she had dubbed it. Slowly she rose to her feet and picked up her box. "Are you ready for spider laser?" Circe asked the boil curiously before pointing over to the large sign that indicated that they wouldn't have to walk but a few feet to be there. "I'm going beat you!" She winked.

A nod. "My favorites are about physics and astronomy, quantum mechanics, theory of the universe, string theory..." He trailed off, it had been a while since he'd read any of his books, or maybe it hadn't really been that long, though it seemed it had been. What was it he had been reading before the trials, he couldn't remember. Maybe he should pick up the newest Hawking book... He was quiet as he finished the last few bites of his spookie (it was a big spookie) in between sips of tea. Oh, was she ready to go? "O...okay." Standing from the table, he finished the last of his tea before returning to the cup to the counter and collecting his remaining spookie. He'd save that one for later, or rather save it for the cat who was sure to find it before he'd have a chance to eat it himself. "You might." Well, perhaps more likely than might, he'd never played the game before.

Circe blinked a couple times. Wow. He really did read some high end books. She knew he was smart but dang, he was super smart! For a moment she felt inferior. But it quickly passed.
"Sounds like you should become a teacher one day."
Not that those books signified that he should. But he was smart enough he could be one. And he would probably do well at it. Or so she mused.
Then she winked. "I don't know if you are monster enough to beat me." She joked, trying to inspire some good ol' fashioned competition as they made their way through the line for the game. "If I win you have to come to my room and play games with me this weekend." She began. "If you win... You can name your demands." Circe said as she grabbed one of the guns and then began putting on the vest and stuff for others to shoot.

"Nah, I don't think I'd want to teach." Especially not if it meant being like the professors at Ammityville. No, he'd rather be somewhere closer to the stars, somewhere open and peaceful. He wondered if there was anywhere he could find that. But he didn't comment further, following Circe to the game. "Really, well I might surprise you." There was a hint of playfulness in his tone, maybe he was (at least for a little while) coming out of out the shadow the nitemare had left him in. It would likely only be for a short time, but it was a start, and that was the important part. One day at a time, Sheridan, one day at a time. "O...okay." He guessed. Though eying the 'gear' with a rather quizzical look and wondering just what he was supposed to with it, he was immediately starting to wonder just what he had gotten himself into. Oh dear... Well, it might be fun after all, right? He wouldn't know until he tried.
