The Foxes come up with a new ‘assume things about Neil’ game where they take turns and try to earn a point by guessing something true about Neil that they don’t already know.

• The game comes up at random times
• And the team does him the courtesy of keeping their assumptions non-sexual because they like having him actually answer
• Neil plays along every time because he wants the Foxes to know him and he doesn’t like to hide things from them anymore
• Plus, he loves finding out how well Andrew knows him
• Andrew is the best at the game
• Kevin’s also pretty good at it
• He’s not quite at Andrew’s skill level, but he is much better than everyone other than Andrew
• Nicky gets very disappointed when he is wrong
• He gets personally offended over it and insists he and Neil need to spend more quality time together
• Matt is thrilled any time that he guesses something right
• Dan mostly guesses tame things, but every once in a while she’ll say something a little riskier
• Aaron’s guesses tend to be baiting to see how fucked up Neil’s life really was with things like “Neil Josten has been shot.”
• And Neil ignores the looks he gets as he says “True.”
• On Andrew’s turn, he says “Neil Josten has never studied for a single test in his life.”
• Neil says “True.”
• On Renee’s turn, she says “Neil’s favourite colour is orange.”
• “True.”
• Neil can practically hear Andrew thinking how pathetic it is to base his favourite colour off of their team colour
• When it’s her turn, Allison stares Neil down and says “Neil Josten has never kissed a girl.”
• Jaws drop as Neil calmly says “Wrong.”
• Nicky’s turn is next and he’s sure he’s getting an easy point as he says “Neil Josten has only ever kissed one girl.”
• “Wrong.”
• Neil is aware of Andrew’s eyes on him and the fact that he’s going to have to explain some of the blanks between what he’s said and what that sounds like later
