Antero wins a few games of Hungry Hungry hippos and feels pretty good. He isn't good at much in life and not used to winning. He rubs his chest and closes his eyes.
"Yep, I've still got it."
He smiles happily, opens his eyes then looks to Nea then Niko.
"Okay, you two can pick a game now."

"Oh come on, that game isn't even fair. You tilted the board to your side." I protest. He didn't really tilt the board, I'm just mad that I got the least amount of marbles.

"No man, I won fair and square. You don't know what you're talking about. You can't take my win from me. You're just a sore loser. S-O-R-E...LOOOOSER!"

We head upstairs to the room, and I turn on the light. I toss the laptop onto the bed, and open it. In the laptop case, there is a cd case filled with burned cds that I open, and flip through.
"Alright... How are you doing, Salome?" I ask, eyeing the cds.

"Oh shut up, you were so tilting it... Like when we were playing risk, and you only took one piece off of your land when I clearly killed two. You thought I wouldn't see it but I did!" I say, getting worked up over nothing.

I sit down on the bed to watch the anarchist film. It is a terrible representation of anarchy. It looks like it was made by high schoolers.
"I am fine. I must admit that when I first met you and for the first few days I was quite on edge, but I've become used to you."

"Fine, let's settle this the man's way. A thumb war. If you win, I will accept your accusations. I win, then we drop it."
Antero grasps Niko's hand and sticks up his thumb.
"One..two...three four...I declare a thumb war, no sneak attacks or pull backs..."
Antero was always very good at thumb wars because he is double jointed and has thin thumbs.

"Yeah no kidding... Oh wait, it gets better..." I say, sarcastically. A newspaper stand gets thrown through the window of an army recruiter's office, immediately followed by various scribblings of graffitti. "I must admit though, that spraypainting 'I look like a starving Iraqi!' on that billboard for lingere was pretty cool..."
I turn to face Salome.
"Well hey, thanks. I could tell you were stand offish, but I'm glad you could warm up to me." I smile.

I never won thumb wars with Antero, but felt as though my pride were on the line. I begrudgingly accept.
"Alright, you're on." I say, then mimick the thumb war lines Antero just said.

"Oh...well, you are pretty calm and accepting so I suppose after a while it gets easier. It has been interesting. When I return to France either tomorrow or the next day we will have to keep in touch. I don't have many friends, but I enjoy writing letters. I can write letters to you." I say, about as warmly as I am able to, which is still somewhat distant.

Antero almost has Niko, but his thumb slips away. Antero nearly gets him twice more, but in the end, it's Niko who pulls back and is able to surprise pin Antero.
"You like totally pulled back! That is so unfair. You call me the cheater. You can't even win a thumb war fair and square. Thumb War Geneva Convention is all over you man."

"Thank you Salome, I enjoy writing letters as well." I say now leaning on my side, my head resting on my hand. My handwriting is elegant, and I have a hidden pride about it.
"I haven't been in Krondstadt in awhile, I should probably head back there when you go to France. It's a beautiful town and I'd like to show you around sometime if you're interested." I say warmly.

"What am I, postwar Germany? That is not a part of the Geneva convention!" I say back, not quite yelling. "You're just mad because now you have to fess up to your crimes against humanity."

"That would be nice. I should get going it is getting a little late. I have things to pack and those books to read. But what a disappointing movie."

"Oh fucking god, fine. I cheated. I tilted the board. I really didn't but I will admit to it because you won the thumb war by cheating. I don't care. I am a man. I can follow through on rules." Antero says, rolling his eyes.
