I don't know if I like you anymore. [She raises an eyebrow, but rest assured she still very much does like him. Even if he beats her his first time. Not that he's going to do it just yet. She's saving her pieces from their check matey fate this time around at least.]

[tallasaking]

Lies. You like me even more now. [And yes, he's grinning at her, while he looks back at the board.] I like this game. It is like cyvasse.

[passingthrough]

Don't let it go to your head just because you're right. [And he is.] When are you going to teach me cyvasse?

[tallasaking]

As soon as I make a board and some pieces. [Because come on, they don't have them here.] So perhaps a month, or two.

[passingthrough]

Because you're going to be meticulous in your craftsmanship or because it falls behind things like making arrows?

[tallasaking]

The answer to both of those is yes. [He stated simply.] I cannot make bad arrows and I cannot make a bad board.

[passingthrough]

Have to be willing to fail to succeed.

[tallasaking]

That is quite true - so I am failing well so I shall succeed spectacularly.

[passingthrough]

You are ridiculous, Tyrion. Also, check.

[tallasaking]

Only when I am not being wise. [He smirked faintly, before he looked at the board.] So I see ... well let me see about shifting that here.

[passingthrough]

When do you find time to be handsome, charming, and witty?

[tallasaking]

Clearly when I am talking to beautiful young women who are trying to distract me in chess. Which isn't working, by the by. Check.

[passingthrough]

Are you implying I'm being insincere, sir? [She looks at the board a moment before resigning her piece to the coming checkmate.] Congratulations.

[tallasaking]

I would never. [He crooked a grin at her.] You're good at this. Chess, I mean. And the compliment is very appreciated, thank you.

[passingthrough]

Heck yeah I am. Did you see how well I trained you? [She smirks at him.] Well, you have a couple of good qualities.

[tallasaking]

You really did train me well. Thank you, ever so much. [He tipped a silent salute to her, his mouth twitching up.] Only a couple? How you wound me.

[passingthrough]

Okay, at least three. Maybe four. [Idly tipping a few chess pieces over and looking mischievous.]

[tallasaking]

Three or even four ... you spoil me. [His eyes glint wickedly in kind.]

[passingthrough]

Five would go straight to your head. [She reaches over and grazes her fingers over his beard.]

[tallasaking]

It's true. I might be as so bold to proposition queens and captains, then where would we be? Besides my funeral.

[he gives her a fond smile for playing with his beard.]

[passingthrough]

Captains? Did you have a captain in mind? Is it Steve? Can't blame you there.

[tallasaking]

Gracious no - I meant Furiosa. She would murder me, however.

[passingthrough]

I guess she would be more fitting for you. [But Steve though...] Though I'd hate to come up against her in your defense.

[tallasaking]

By the Maiden and the Crone, please don't. I would hate to think of the bloodshed. [He shivered.] Beyond that, I have a better chance in charming a queen than her.

[passingthrough]

Is it religious? When you drop things like "By the Maiden and the Crone" or the Seven? I mean, I know the Seven is from a religion, but are you religious? [Should she be confirming she won't get into a battle with Furiosa over Tyrion?]
