Hasn't bored me too much yet. [Wry.] You're not too bad at chess either. [She has a feeling she's losing this one, but she's not going to make it easy on him.]

[precedented]

Am I? High praise indeed.

[ He knows he's good. He makes little effort to hide it, but he enjoys the game rather than winning. ]

[passingthrough]

Try not to blush. I know I can gush.

So what do you make of this moon?

[precedented]

It needs an air filtration device.

[ Pause. Wait, that's not an opinion is it? ]

I'm surprised it's still in use, to be honest.

[passingthrough]

Maybe all their other options are worse somehow. Sobering thought.

[precedented]

It's certainly a possibility. I could not say for sure.

[passingthrough]

Think you'll spend a lot of time down here?

[precedented]

I might. I don't need a breather and it offers some entertainment at least.

[ By entertainment, he means making people lose miserably. ]

[passingthrough]

The chess or did you find more to hold your interest?

[precedented]

I enjoy challenges. Games. I try to avoid the physical ones though.

[ They lean more into his favor than games of chess and chance. Anyone trying to punch him would be akin with punching a brick wall. ]

[passingthrough]

Why avoid the physical? [She enjoys those more than she feels she should.]

[precedented]

[ Dryly. ]

Nobody likes to punch a brick wall.

[passingthrough]

Leto, do you have a brick wall hanging out under you clothes?

[precedented]

Not at all. But the wormskin has made my skin rather hard.

[passingthrough]

Wormskin? [She has noticed there are areas of his skin that are different, but she isn't one to exactly stare or point these things out.*]

(OOC: You know, unless he has them hidden completely in which case she has noticed nothing.)

[precedented]

( ooc - no it's visible. he can't hide it completely. )

That's right. It makes me physically stronger than most.

[passingthrough]

[She should really know better than to expect more of an answer, shouldn't she?] I should really be giving worms more credit.

[precedented]

These are giant worms that live in the desert and can swallow entire ships whole.

[passingthrough]

Okay, those would be some tough worms. Can I ask how you came by their skin? [OMG, Kitty! You can't just ask someone why they have wormskin!]

[precedented]

A mutual agreement of sorts. The story itself won't make much sense.

[ It involves a lot of Dune science. ]

[passingthrough]

I assume that with any story of yours going in. Makes things simpler. [She's still curious though.] Why'd you agree to it?

[precedented]

Desperate times. Someone had to make the choice.

[ The future was falling apart. Too much prescience, too many people trying to control the outcomes until there was only one left. Mutual destruction for humanity. ]

[passingthrough]

Do you regret it? [She's had to make choices in desperate times herself. She's not sure she actually regrets any, but there's not a one that doesn't still weigh on her mind since they rarely come with a good option.]

[precedented]

[ He looks away. ]

Sometimes. But such thoughts are unhealthy.

[passingthrough]

Tell me how to only have the healthy kind and I'll get on board. [She looks up from the chess board to realize he's looking away. Her expression softens.]

Sorry. That question was kind of personal. [Or super personal. However you want to look at it.]
