"Yeah. You can have fun doing them, too!" He said.

Ray perked up at 'fun', "Ok." Perhaps chores weren't that bad.

With how Jack spoke of them, they sounded like games. He gently set Ray down. "Now, first we have to sweep. But why just sweep? Have you heard about knights fighting dragons?"

"Yeah. I've heard of knights fighting dragons." Ray nods in affirmative after they had been put on the floor.

"Well, they include in the stories dragons hording treasure. With the brooms, we'll be dragons and we'll pretend the dirt is treasure. We try to see who can make the biggest pile of 'treasure'."

"Mkay! You're going down." Ray laughs, taking their broom and beginning to sweep. After a while they had collected a pile and were resting for a moment, leaning on their broom.

Jack grabbed his own broom and made his own pile. As Ray rested, Jack had on a silly and sneaky smile as he inched toward Rays pile.

Ray watches Jack come closer, slowly figuring out what Jack was most likely going to do. "Sorry. You can steal a kiss, but that's it." Ray jokes as they moved into a position to more properly defend their 'treasure'.

He laughed softly. "Well, maybe I will then." he said, putting his broom down and swooping Ray up into his arms.

Ray yelps in surprise but it was cut off with a small bout of laughter. They look at Jack, "Really?"
