[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.

[thexfactor]

That's good.

[grandstanding]

Though Schooler is... her boyfriend is in the pods.

[thexfactor]

. . . Oh no.

[grandstanding]

So she's upset.

[to put it mildly.]

[thexfactor]

I should go talk to her later.

[grandstanding]

She'd probably like that.

[thexfactor]

I hope so.

[grandstanding]

[but honestly, it's hard for him to know. he just knows she gets along better with Miles, from what he's seen.

he moves a piece on the board.]

[thexfactor]

[ he eyes the board quietly ]

We won the last game, actually. It seems our luck has changed somewhat.

[grandstanding]

That's good. Your team works hard.
