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?]

[tallasaking]

Yes, my particular religion has seven gods and no, I am not that devout. Prayer has never done much for me. [In a battle over Tyrion, Kitty should just avoid getting hit.

[passingthrough]

I definitely got the feeling no one was listening a long time ago. [Even if her religion is still very culturally important to her.]

[tallasaking]

It's sad, isn't it? To once have a faith that overflowed as a child, to go to tiny drips in the bottom of a cup? [He sighed softly, looking skyward.] Yet my world sees dragons again. Why not the movements of the gods?

[passingthrough]

My world was a sad place. I'm not going to be sad for god. [Or for what she lost in the process. At least she doesn't want to be sad and let her thoughts linger on that.] I'll be sad for starving children and grieving parents.

...I really bring a conversation down. Yes, dragons good. Probably. Unless they set you on fire and then less so.

[tallasaking]

Hmmm, that I can agree with. Let's be sad for what is real.

[He looks up at her, and quirks a grin.] Usually that's what makes a dragon good. When they are not setting you on fire.

[passingthrough]

That's my favorite part too! [Smiling and peddling away from the darkness that speaking of her world brings.]

[tallasaking]

In fact I think every single thing is good when it is not setting you on fire.

[They have both had enough darkness. They needed to steer it towards more light.]

[passingthrough]

What if it's not setting you on fire because it's beating you with sticks instead? Still good? [Does this count as light?]
