Both of them winning a large plush cat sounds rather comical, but Sho knew he would be giving his away to Saeko since she has that originally stray kitten that's now grown into a cat as her pet that was given to her by Howard, he figured she would like this. If she didn't, there was always Sadie, who just liked anything adorable. Unless stated otherwise. He stood there in silence, holding onto the plush cat he'd won as he'd watched Yuuto insert money into the machine and begin playing the first round of the game. As he watched him, he noticed he was going for one of the stuffed brownish-looking plush cats with the green bib around its neck. There appeared to be only two in the machine, while there were more of the other ones inside. The one Yuuto was going for appeared separated from the other one. 'It's probably best he went for the one further. Trying to go for the one closer usually ends with spending more money for it to constantly fall or the claw never gripping it properly,' Sho thought. That was how he played the game anyway. It gave him more of a challenge to try and grab an item from an impossible spot and move it as close to the drop box as he could. Sometimes he'd win on the first try, and other times he'd take him two more tries to get it. But that was due to Sho having more patience than others did when it came to the crane games. That and he'd played them so much when he was younger, one would have no choice but to learn to be patient with a difficult game such as this. And everyone had their own way of playing a game that was easier and made sense to them. It didn't always work for others. As expected, he'd seen Yuuto's first attempt at grabbing the plush cat he was going for end with him not winning it. The claw grabbed a part of the plush that was very noticeable that it was going to slip out. 'He almost had it,' he thought, sheepishly scratching the side of his face with his left index finger while holding his own winning with his right arm. He figured Yuuto would want to try another game, but was surprised when asked for advice before he attempted to play again. "Eh?" That was Sho's initial response as he, again, was not expecting the other to try the game for another round. "Um, I play the game a little bit differently," he'd told him. "I don't always go for an item that's already closest to the drop box already and get it where it want it to try again." That was the best way he felt he could explain it, but he didn't know if that would work for Yuuto. He could give it a try to see. That's all he could do. |
