IT STARTED IN THE HAYLOFT ;; freeze tag!

Jiyu had many relatives who absolutely adored childish games, and she had been a mother herself many times over. Even if her initial experience with games was less then enjoyable by most animals standards? The calico was still very familiar with the versions of the games that were played by normal animals, the ones considered most fun by others. Honestly, having so much family into games, kinda helped with being able to play past the flashbacks until they had stopped and she could just enjoy fun little games. However, being able to enjoy them and being willing to admit she even remotely liked or wanted to play them, were two separate things entirely! Jiyu disliked admitting there was anything to her besides the endlessly loyal and emotionless stoic that she always appeared to be. Enjoying games? Did nothing for making them feel safer if anything it would impede her ability to protect them by making her some friend instead of their guardian! Jiyu may be interested but she was never just going to speak up about it if she played it would be because they asked, they 'roped' her into it even though she would play on simply a single request without argument.

Mismatched optics blinked lazily as one black paw hang down off the branch she lay on as her perch, watching as the children played.
