There's no need to be rude.

[grandstanding]

You said it first.

[takes Charles' arm in his]

And it was a joke.

[thexfactor]

Just for that, I'll keep this to myself.

[grandstanding]

Thank you for your discretion.

[thexfactor]

You're welcome. Do you want to go down by the cove?

[grandstanding]

All right. You have everything?

[thexfactor]

I do. Some I quested and some I made myself. Plus, I brought our chess set.

[grandstanding]

[amused]

"Our" set?

[thexfactor]

Our set.

[grandstanding]

[he smiles at that, reaching over to take at least one item off Charles to share the load.]

Well, it'll be good to play. We haven't in a while.

[thexfactor]

It'll be quiet too, just the way you like it.

[grandstanding]

You're not exactly rowdy yourself.

[thexfactor]

I try to offset the rowdiness around me

[grandstanding]

So you're the balancer.

[thexfactor]

Always.

[grandstanding]

It doesn't surprise me.

[thexfactor]

Of course not.

[grandstanding]

[headinggg to the cove]

[thexfactor]

[ keeping a casual pace ]

[grandstanding]

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.
