It seemed pretty empty in the castle. I think there's a game on.

[thexfactor]

Must be a busy one.

[grandstanding]

They can be. I didn't hear the bells.

[thexfactor]

Neither did I, I'm afraid. I miss them a lot these days.

[grandstanding]

Too deep in your books?

[thexfactor]

Useful books.

[grandstanding]

I didn't mention what kind they were.

[thexfactor]

I felt that was an important point to make.

[grandstanding]

I'll keep it in mind.

[thexfactor]

Please do so.

[grandstanding]

[smirks to himself, and they're finally within site of the cliffs around the cove.]

[thexfactor]

I saw that.

[grandstanding]

["sight" not site.]

I wasn't hiding it.

[thexfactor]

Only a little.

[grandstanding]

[settles himself in the grass]

I'll be sure to smile more openly in the future.

[thexfactor]

You should. You have a nice smile.

[grandstanding]

...

[thexfactor]

What?

[grandstanding]

It's not something I really think about.

[thexfactor]

Obviously.

[grandstanding]

[his team thinks it's an event when he smiles.]

Hmmm.

[thexfactor]

[ they're not lucky like me ]

What is it?

[grandstanding]

There's not a lot I feel like smiling about, generally.

[thexfactor]

I don't blame you.

[grandstanding]

I don't think it suits me.
