Ah, well at least she gave it then. Shaking his head to himself, Jericho got up form his seat, grabbing his trash so he could toss it out.
"Yeah, let's get out of here," he said. He didn't really think that Vieve would keep tailing him for long, so now seemed like a pretty opportune time to sneak in a game or two at the scarecade. Once he threw his trash into the garbage, he glanced over at the Salamander, then started on out the door.

She followed him as he cleared the trash for both of them- he was unexpectedly considerate, despite her first impression of him. Having held up his end of the promise, though, it seemed he was pretty much done with her, walking off with barely a glance at her.
Considerate when it came to clearing trash, but not her, huh... Well- she hadn't expected more than lunch from him, but she tagged along behind anyway, not quite sure what to say. It was almost as if the atmosphere had gone back to being a little heavy, like when they'd first met.
Then again, he had said 'let's', which sounded as much like an invitation as anything, and so he couldn't complain if she followed him around, could he? Apparently, though, he had every intention of leaving the mall without looking around- it seemed they were headed straight back to school.

Seeing that Vee was walking along, Jericho more or less figured that she'd head back on her own or something along those lines. Quietly, he moved on back the way he had come. Before too long, the arcade was back into view and a small grin crept upon his features.
Making sure he had some spare seeds on him, the dragon walked into the building, pausing near the entrance to look around. What game should he play today?

They headed back the same way- past the arcade. Vieve was about to continue on, back to school, but a familiar flash of silver caught her eye.
She didn't know about needles, but the salamander could pick silver seeds out of a haystack easily- and the moment Jericho took some out of his pocket, he was doomed. Some sort of inner sensor was trained on the seeds, and she had an almost predatory look on her face as she followed him into the arcade.
Whatever this place was, if he was inclined to spend money here, there was always a chance he'd spend on her, as well...
"I've never been in here," she piped up from behind him, looking around at all the machines. "What... are all these?"

Before he could pick out a machine to go towards, he heard Vieve coming from behind, asking about the place. Jericho blinked at her briefly before looking back to the inside of the arcade. Did she not really know what this place was? He found it kind of surprising at how many people were not familiar with these things.
"They're video games," he explained. Hopefully that was enough to let her know what was going on here. On the far side, he spotted the arcade scario kart machines. Hm... that looked pretty good right about now.

She had no idea what video games were, so she merely nodded, and followed him over towards the far side of the arcade.
There had barely been time for games, in the past; maybe things like hide-and-seek, or tag, or seeing who could pick up the most coins in a day. These machines looked fairly complicated, with a whole bunch of buttons and the like. What were they used for? What would Jericho even.. do with them? Did you win money if you won a game?!
Interested, she kept to his side and watched.

Glancing at Vee for a few moments, Jericho soon shrugged before making his way over towards the Scario Kart machines. There were a few people getting ready for the next race so it seemed that he had come just in time.
With a smirk, he went ahead and dropped in a seed before taking a seat and picking out his character and kart.
Waiting for the other few players to get ready, it was soon time to start. Narrowing his eyes, he began to focus before blazing off.
It was a breeze. The dragon practically dominated his competition here, leaving all the players in the dust as he reached first place without so much of a problem.

She observed as he played- how could one get so... into watching karts on a screen? Granted, she felt herself getting slightly drawn to it, cheering slightly when Jericho's kart crossed the finish line first-- but really? Spending pumpkin seeds on staring at a screen and pressing a few buttons?
Not quite up her alley. If he'd pay, though...
"That's pretty cool," she grinned at him. "Do you.. think you could teach me?"
She hadn't brought any pumpkin seeds, of course- lunch had been his treat, so it hadn't been necessary. Looking up at Jericho with sparkly eyes, she gave him a look that clearly said "HELP ME I HAVE NO MONEY ;___;"

Grinning as he basked in his little bit of glory there, Jericho soon turned over towards Vee when she spoke up. Well, he could teach her for sure, and he was about to say so. However, he caught that look in her eyes which had him frowning some. He already treated her to lunch. Did he really have to pay for her gaming experience too?
This wasn't a date!
Frowning, he looked around before spotting something.
"Go grab that seed on the ground there and put it into the machine next to me."

REJECTIONNNNN. But that was fine- at least she didn't have to pay for the game herself. Vieve supposed she should have known better than to ask a dragon for money; but wasn't he supposed to spoil her anyway, just for being a girl?
Perhaps she should spend more time with Night instead of Jericho; at least the former willingly bought her things. Then again, she wouldn't spend his money on such frivolous pursuits. Cars on a screen!
Picking up the seed anyway, she dropped it into the machine next to Jericho's.
"...What now?"

Once Vieve got ready, Jericho went on to explain things.
"Use the wheel to pick out your character and stuff. Once the game begins, the wheel is used to steer the kart. The pedals by your feet are for stop and go. It's a racing game so try to get to the finish line first. Oh yeah, if you get an item, you can use it by pressing the button on the wheel," he said. Hopefully that covered everything.
"Got it?"

She listened attentively, mentally trying out the controls. Wheel for steering, pedals for stop and go, press button to use item.
Sounded easy enough. He enjoyed.. this?
Pressing the button for GAME START, Vieve picked out a kart and racer, then looked at Jericho.
"Good luck." She didn't really mean it, and that was obvious- already she was sure she'd beat him. Perhaps this slight adrenaline rush was helping to fuel her competitiveness, or maybe she just wanted to win all the things.
As the game started, she found it tougher than she'd originally expected. You really had to focus, if you didn't want to crash into things, and she wasn't used to the track.

Nodding, Jericho focused his attention to his own screen, shifting into a more comfortable position as he waited for the game to begin. Taking in a deep breath, he was soon in the zone as the lights went green.
Though, while he was playing, a scareling was running with a drink nearby. She ended up tripping and the drink went sailing right into the dragon, soaking him in the process.
"AUGH! Tiamat's s**t!" he cried out while letting go of the wheel and looked down. Well great. The scareling soon let out a shriek and bolted off before she could get into trouble.
Needless to say, he ended up losing the race.

And apparently it was her lucky day. Despite being unused to the controls, she'd actually.. beaten Jericho.
She turned to the dragon, beaming- she couldn't suppress her glee.
"I beat you," she said, sounding just a little bemused. "I beat you!" Jumping off the seat, she did a little victory dance, completely oblivious to the fact that he was dripping wet.. until she slipped and fell, crashing into him.

Not really happy with having a soft drink showed upon him, Jericho looked around for the moment to try and see if he could spot any towels or anything nearby. There were none. Most likely he'd have to go into the bathroom to try and clean up some of this mess.
And that was when he heard Vee speak up. Glancing over towards her, his eyes narrowed at her victory dance. Was she really gloating over the fact that she had won when he was too busy getting pop dumped all over him?
Small tendrils of smoke could be seen curling away from the corners of his lips. When she fell onto him, he growled lowly down at her with his fists clenching up.
"Celebrate when you have a real jacking victory to gloat about," he snapped, "Now get off!"
