[grandstanding]

[megalomaniacs have varied interests. when Charles gets to Epona, Erik opens the door.]

Afternoon.

[thexfactor]

Good afternoon. I brought the chess set. Want to go down to the cove?

[grandstanding]

Yes, definitely. I'll be out in a second.

[he ducks back indoors]

[thexfactor]

[ waits ]

[grandstanding]

[he's back quickly enough, with a covered container.]

Let's go.

[thexfactor]

What's that?

[grandstanding]

Food.

[thexfactor]

Oh! All right.

[grandstanding]

We do tend to spend a while out there when we go.

[thexfactor]

Well, it's a nice place to relax. Quiet too.

[grandstanding]

[dryly:]

I did break my leg last time I was there, you realise.

[thexfactor]

That's hardly the fault of the place, Erik.

[grandstanding]

Ah yes, it's all on me.

[thexfactor]

Of course it is.

[grandstanding]

Let's stay on top of the cliff, just in case.

[thexfactor]

All right.

[ his smile flickers a bit at Erik talking about his legs though ]

[grandstanding]

[he does notice, but brushes it off]

It'll be fine, don't worry about it.

[thexfactor]

I'll do my best not to.

[grandstanding]

[claps him on the shoulder]

Good.

[thexfactor]

Mmm.

[grandstanding]

[onwards to the cove]

[thexfactor]

[ once they're there, Charles settles himself comfortably before setting up the pieces ]

[grandstanding]

[Erik sits down on the other side of the board, putting the container next to him.]

[thexfactor]

How is your team?

[grandstanding]

Mm... they've mostly changed back, now.
