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.

[thexfactor]

Smiling doesn't suit you?

[grandstanding]

Yes.

[thexfactor]

Oh, Erik.

[grandstanding]

[:/ starts setting up the chess board.]

[thexfactor]

[ too funny ]

[grandstanding]

[sure, mock his legitimate emotional problems!!!1]

What kind of food did you bring?

[thexfactor]

Sandwiches and some cakes.

[grandstanding]

[cakes...]

Is this a picnic, then?

[thexfactor]

I suppose you could call it that.

[grandstanding]

The only thing lacking is sunshine.

[thexfactor]

Next time, perhaps.

[grandstanding]

When we have a sun, certainly.

[thexfactor]

Mm. Someday.

[grandstanding]

[hands him a sandwich]

The opening move is yours.

[thexfactor]

[ moves a knight while taking the sandwich ]

[grandstanding]

[he moves a pawn in response.]

Are you feeling any better?

[thexfactor]

I am.
