Mikael seemed unhappy about the fact that he had to stop focusing on her and instead switch his attention to something else. Hmph! Like there was a more worthy cause. Being difficult like he generally was, he looke with a bored expression into the fire. All he saw was the crackling flames and the burning oil. Either this didn't work or he wasn't very insightful. "I see fire," he said saracastically.

Runeh picked the top up with quick, skilled hands, settling down to take a seat beside his younger sister. His smile, ever present, lingered as he watched Manuela release her top. Though he had never claimed to have played this game before, he was a crafty one. Riley knew he always won stuff, but not how. It was really because he was imensely clever when dealing with people or with any sort of problem or puzzle. So, he twisted his top deftly and released it, giving it a nice, agressive spin that was sure to counter the other top and knock it over.
