"You would?" Ivy whispered back. She leaned in close enough to whisper in Pain's ear. "So would I."
She reached down to the tray, lifted the next delicacy and looked him square in the eye.
"Would you like this Chocolate Truffle?" she asked. "Or do you have something different in mind?"

She was good, Pain had to admit. He also had to admit that he was liking it as well. He wondered just how far this little game of theirs' would go before one or both of them snapped.
Pain looked over at the chocolate truffle, then gently placed his hand on Tommy's wrist. He looked deeply into her eyes, bringing his lips closer to hers' and whispered, "Actually I did have somethin' different on my mind."
He let go of her wrist and made like he was going to kiss her, then at the last split second he stopped, turned his eyes towards the tray, and said, "I'd like to try some of that fudge brownie with the dark chocolate frostin' and the real chopped walnuts on top." He turned his eyes back to Tommy and asked, his face still close to hers', "Would you like to try some?"

"I'm allergic to walnuts," she said as she brought the truffle to her lips and took a bite. Then she picked up the brownie and fed a piece to him. A smudge of frosting was left in the corner of his mouth. She took her thumb, wiped it away and brought it to her mouth.
"The frosting is good. Would you like some more?"

"That's a shame." replied Pain as he gazed into Tommy's eyes. "Pretty girl like you bein' allergic to walnuts. They're very tasty and good for you." He glanced at the brownie in her hand, then looked back at her, smiled and said, "To answer your question, Tommy. Yes I would like some more. And perhaps after that you would be ever so kind as to let me try some of that truffle perhaps?"
He raised an eyebrow after he said that and pouted in a manly fashion as he waited for her to respond.

"My truffle? I don't know... It's really good. You might have to wrestle me for it."
Pain lifted an eyebrow at her.
"Just teasing. You'd have an unfair advantage. It wouldn't take you long before you'd have me at your mercy," she said as gave him the last half of the truffle. "I think this is the best chocolate yet."
She looked down at the plate, noticed that there was nothing left but crumbs and frowned.
"Now what are we going to do?"

The truffle was good just like Tommy had said it would. Of course Pain really hadn't any prior chocolate truffle experience to compare it to, as that was his first chocolate truffle. He saw Tommy's eyes advert themselves over to the try and his eyes followed.

"Don't be sad, darlin'." Pain replied, putting a reassuring hand around her shoulder. "Tell you what." he said, giving her a cheery smile. "I'll pay for what we ate and then we can decide on what to do next."
He tapped the tip of his left pointer finger on his lips and continued as he looked off into space, "Perhaps we could do somethin' physical to help burn off some of these calories we've just consumed." Pain quit tapping his lips with his finger and looked over to Tommy. He grinned at her as he said, "I'm drawin' a blank here, Tommy. Perhaps you can come up with a suggestion for somethin' physical and fun that we could do."

“Physical and fun?” Ivy asked him. “That does sound intriguing.”
“Could be,” Pain answered with a wink.
Ivy thought for a moment. Then an idea popped into her head.
“I know exactly what we should do,” she announced as she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the booth. Pain barely had time to throw some coin on the table before she was rushing him outside into the hotel lobby. She then turned and stopped by the hotel desk and leaned in close. “I think you’ll really enjoy this.”
Pain glanced over at the desk, then back to her.
“I will?”
“Of course,” she said giggling. “This will be very physical.”
Then she pulled him outside and down a couple of doors. The sign over the entrance said “PAINT TAG.”
“Paint Tag?” Pain asked, surprised.
“Yep,” she said as she pulled him inside. “I’ll even pay.”
She gave the person at the window the specified amount and they were led to an area to don white coveralls. Ivy rigged up her bag so that it worked as a thin backpack and pulled the coveralls over it. Once they were done, they had to pick out a color of their choice. Ivy picked out red. They filled the pouch on their waist with 12 paint balls each and stepped into the playing zone.
“So we just have to try to hit each other with these?” Pain asked.
“Yep,” Ivy confirmed. She pulled out a red paint ball and threw it at Pain. It exploded across his chest making a big red splat. She laughed hysterically.
“That’s cheating!” Pain exclaimed, looking down at his now painted chest. He started to fish out a paint ball of his own. “We haven’t even started!”
“You’re on the playing field,” she teased as she started to pull out another paint ball. “All’s fair in love and war.”
Pain threw a paint ball softly in her direction, which she sidestepped easily.
“Oh, please. Is that the best you can do?” she goaded as she threw another of hers, hitting his thigh. “Don’t hold back. I can take whatever you can dish out. And remember, I am quite agile.”
Pain got a devious grin on his face as she started backing up towards the course ahead of them. The course was laid out with forts, mazes and obstructions to hide in and attack from.
“Game on, darling.”
She ran into the course, but took the time to peek around the corner of a high fence she was behind.
“No hitting in the face, mind you. It’s against the rules. You win by hitting your opponent the most often. I'm already two up on you,” she told him. Then she gave him a wiley smile and crooked a finger at him suggestively. “Catch me if you can, big boy.”
Then the game was afoot.

Paint Tag
Pain ducked behind one of the wall obstacles, blue paint balls in each hand. He looked at his chest again and shook his head. It had been a cheap shot, but it was an easy on as well. It didn't help that Tommy caught him off guard with it too. She'd pay for it of course, provided Pain could get a clean shot at her.
He peaked around the corner trying to see if he could spot her location. She could be hiding anywhere in here and that was bad for Pain as she was quicker than him. Throughout all his years as a mercenary he faced many opponents. Some were slower than him, others were evenly matched, while a few like Tommy were even faster than him. Of course all of those opponents were either slinging lead at Pain, trying to blow him up, or stab him. They weren't trying to lob paint balls at him.
Pain couldn't hear or see Tommy, so he decided to move over to another obstacle. His plan was for her to reveal her position, chuck some paint balls at her, and then hide in the maze and wait for her. Once she was in his sights he would ambush her, tag her, and then go back into hiding. Pain hoped that it would work, but he knew more often then not that things never went as planned.
He took a few quick breaths and took a few steps towards the obstacle he planned to move behind. He cocked his head a little as he heard a slight whistling sound in the air and then....
SPLAT!!
Pain looked down at his feet and saw that his left foot was covered in red paint. He looked over in the direction that the paint ball had come from and was greeted with a grinning Tommy, readying another paint ball from her hidey spot.
"That's three for me, Pain." replied Tommy between giggles.
Pain grinned and threw one of his paint balls at her, which she quickly ducked. The paint ball hit the wall behind her and she stuck her head back up, blew Pain a raspberry and taunted, "You missed me!"
She threw another one at him, but Pain ran for the obstacle, readying another paint ball as Tommy's own missed him by mere inches. As his back hit the obstacle, he rolled with the impact, dropped to one knee and lobbed a paint ball at the prone Tommy. He let out a loud cackle as it smacked her in the upper portion of her left shoulder.
As he spun back behind the obstacle, Tommy looked at the blue splotch on her coveralls and called out, "You finally hit me, Pain. Congrats."
"It looks good on you." Pain shot back, getting ready to run into the maze.
He readied another paint ball, mentally taking note that he had nine left and rushed for the maze, throwing the paint ball in Tommy's direction as he entered the maze.
"Four down." he thought to himself as he disappeared into the maze. "Eight to go. Got to make these one's count."

Pain worked his way through the maze, running into a dead end more than once. He came to a stop and listened, but he didn't hear anything. He knew Tommy was nearby, she caught him like that once before. Suddenly, he felt something hit him from behind. He looked at backward to see that she had hit him square in the pi gu. She was standing about 20 feet back and laughing at him.
He turned and threw a ball at her, but she dropped to the ground and rolled through a gap under one of the fences that made up part of the maze.
Damn she was agile.
He laid down to try to go through the same gap, but found that it was too small for him to fit through. She must have thought about that too, because another one of her paint balls connected with his knee.
"Gorram it!" he swore. He could see her standing about 10 feet away, but knew that he wasn't in a position to make a good throw, so he quickly retreated out of the gap.
"That's five!" she shouted over at him in a sing-songy voice. "You'll have to try harder than-"
SPLAT! She looked down to see her knee covered with blue paint. She looked up to see that Pain had jumped up and pulled himself halfway over the fence.
And he was smirking at her.
She pulled out another ball, but he dropped back down on his side and ran away. She had forgotten that he had the height advantage.
She decided that she better take him a little more serious now. He was starting to catch on to the game.
It was 5 hits for her and 2 for him. Both had six balls left.
