Teja and Urquhart are playing chess again, slowly and grimly, but with much less tension than the last time.

Urquhart's nose is still somewhat swollen and discoloured.

Teja would not pass judgement on that; he is far too dignified to smirk at the man's suffering.

Instead, he takes a knight with his bishop, calmly.

"Who said anything about sleeping?"

[scots_wolf]

"Oh, the sleeping happens afterwards," Urquhart says, smirking. "I'll enjoy myself this evening, but the game comes first. Not that it won't be enjoyable to beat the Goth..."

"Empty words," Teja says.

[the_cupbearer]

"Empty because you think it won't be enjoyable, or you think he won't win?" Ganymede asks, a tiny smirk on his face. The collar around his throat winks in the firelight as he tilts his head, studying the board.

Yes, he does know how to play chess.

"He should not boast of a victory he has not won yet, indeed," Teja says. "I mean to beat him still. Whatever he does afterwards is his own business."

[the_cupbearer]

"So why are you playing?"

[scots_wolf]

"To see who is the better man at this," Urquhart says.
