"It must be hard starting from scratch like that." Sethos says, rather unsure about how to proceed. He was enjoyign spending time with the catboy, but then again, he'd just met the guy so it's not like he really knew anything about him.

"It's the way our families work. When we're ready, we go out by ourselves. Unlike regular cats though, if I fail, or get lost along the way, I can always go home." he says. He offers Sethos the last checken nugget that was on his side plate, smiling.

He smiles and takes the chicken nugget, "Well, that's not so bad then."

"No, it's not." he keeps the smile on his face. "If you;re not from here, then where are you from?" the catboy asks, letting his curiosity get the best of him.

"I'm from down south, but since I travel around so much I don't really feel all that attached to any one area."

"I haven;'t really found home either yet. I've been travelling for the past few weeks, and I still don;t know where I'm headed. I heard there was a nice guild nearby... I slept there last night, but I didn't talk to anyone. I was too shy. I suppose I have to fall on someone out of a tree to actually talk."

"Well, falling out of a tree onto someone is one way of making contact, I guess. A little unorthodox, but it worked, so it's all good right?"

Merc grins, but says nothing. He's happy just being with someone else and not being chastized by someone.

Just when it was getting to the point where Sethos really didn't know what to do, the sound of an electric keyboard playing the chorus from 'key of life' rings out. "Ah, that's my cell phone."
He pulls the red phone out of his racket bag and looks at the screen to see who was calling before answering it.
"Hey Sasha... Um... no, that was today?" He holds the phone away from his ear as the woman named sasha freaking yells at him, "Ok, ok, calm down, I was practicing! So..? Ha, it must be good then." He smirks as there's a loud exclamation from the other side, 'You wouldn't ask me to come over to tell me if it was bad, you'd tell me over the phone, so it must be good. Yeah, okok, I get your point, I'll come over."

Merc looks up at Sethos questioningly. He didn't know that Sethos had other plans, he dodnt know who this Sasha woman was. "What was that about?" he asks. He doesn't want sethos to leave, but it looks like that's what's going to happen.

"Sasha was pulling a hissy fit because I didn't go to the draw today, and she won't tell me my position unless I go over to her place. Which probably means it's a good draw and she has some kind of party planned, which if you ask me is bloody stupid since getting a good draw doesn't mean I won't still lose in those first few rounds... You can come along if you'd like, that would give me an excuse to leave after I find out the draw results."

"Draw?" asks Merc, totally confused. He still doesn't have any idea about any of this tennis stuff. On the other hand, he's absolutely thrilled that Sethos has asked him to come along. He knows it probably doesn't mean anything because he's never really heard of many gay tennis players, but at least they can be friends.

"The draw in a tournament determines who'll you'll be playing. Some players who are high seeds... that is, expected to win the tournament, or do very well, have specific positions they're in, but unseeded players like me get put in rather randomnly. So, depending on the draw, my first match could be with the person expected to win, or with someone who's also unseeded, or anything inbetween, same kind of thing for my second match. last tournament my first match was against the second seed, so needless to say I didn't get very far."

This still doesn't make much sense to Merc, so he just nods and pretends to know what Sethos is talking about. "So where does sasha live? Are we going to right way?" he asks.

"She actually lives here, although she's in town about as much as I am, it's not far. It's probably best to go sooner rather than later, or else she might yell at me more."
