I like playing chess with you. [You are talking to someone with all the stubborn that has ever existed to mankind.]

[precedented]

[ Is it worth saying how hard it is to force down his skills? No. He'd be bragging and he rather not. ]

As do I.

[passingthrough]

[It's the time spent together she cares about more than the game itself if that helps.]

You better. [Smiling a little.]

[precedented]

[ He smiles in turn. ]

You are too kind.

[passingthrough]

I always say that about myself. Actually, some people say that to me without sarcasm like Tyrion. It's very strange.

[precedented]

Is it so hard to believe?

[passingthrough]

As a primary adjective to describe me? ...Kind of, yes.

[precedented]

What would you say instead?

[passingthrough]

Opinionated? Smart? Menacing? I don't know.

[precedented]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

Menacing?

[passingthrough]

Grr? [She shrugs her shoulder.] Just because I never tried to menace you doesn't mean I can't be menacing.

[precedented]

I have a hard time picturing it.

[passingthrough]

Coming from a guy who looks at people's timelines that's probably pretty damning evidence to the contrary then. Or maybe you're just frustratingly difficult to menace.

[precedented]

Or both. Both is always a possibility as well.

[passingthrough]

I'll accept both. [She laughs lightly and moves a chess piece.] I guess I'm not the best at describing myself.

[precedented]

To be fair, it's a difficult thing to do. It involves a lot of . . . navel-gazing, I believe is the term of the 20th century. They don't use wool-gathering any more, do they?

[ Language is hard. ]

It's easier to ask someone else than to look inward.

[passingthrough]

I don't really use either, but I think I know what you mean.

So, you think maybe I should accept my fate as someone who is kind?

[precedented]

You might as well. You do not want me to compile a case.

[passingthrough]

That's true. Being walked through my kind acts sounds brutal.

[precedented]

It takes a lot of effort traversing that much time as it is.

[passingthrough]

You make me sound old. [Or like she has a future.] You ask a guy over to warn him about someone and play some chess and the next thing you know you're a kindly old lady handing out hard candy and talking about how it was back in my day.

[precedented]

I am very old to begin with.

[ Old when he was born no less. Nothing like remembering entire lives and histories to remove you from your own childhood. ]

But really, I'm making it sound like you have those possibilities in you and it's hard to remember when you think of yourself and your home.

[passingthrough]

You make it sound like you were born old. [If only she read brackets. But mostly she just likes the thought of talking about him better than talking about herself.]

[precedented]

I was. The term for it is known as pre-born.

[passingthrough]

Were you...not baby sized?
