[attr="class","beck"]his bishop moves, continuing his attack.

it's only then that he wishes he has a drink, and so he reaches for his empty mug, looking at her expectantly.

"what's old?"

Her smile crept back again, and she never reached for the whiskey.

“Your phone, of course.”

A pawn moved in defense.

[attr="class","beck"]his stretched hand holding the mug remains in place, not yet retreating.

with a sigh, he concedes.

"whiskey, please."

She hesitated a moment before leaning forward and pouring it again for him. Then, it was cigarettes to come out of the drawer, along with an ashtray, so Theo wouldn’t ash on the fucking floor again like an animal. An aging one.

A flint wheel spun with a zip, and she blew smoke out of the side of her mouth, placed the silver lighter upright between them.

[attr="class","beck"]finally.

"thank you."

his mug returns now filled with golden liquor, one that he enjoys as he sips, feeling the burn wash down the bitter taste of defeat from their last match.

he takes the pawn without hesitation, advancing.

and then he reaches for the cigarette and the lighter, soon igniting it.

“Sure.”

Another knight went for the bishop.

After a moment, and another drag, something akin to self-consciousness rose out of her mouth.

“I do know what all the stacks are, for the record…”

[attr="class","beck"]"i know."

wisps of smoke trail over to their board, clouding the battlefield slightly as he exhales.

through it, he looks at her, barely smiling.

"i was just teasing you, lulu."

It was another quirk of Lulu’s. Her walls had always been lined with scribbled notes and formulas nearly overlapping, although she was occasionally able to practice self-awareness, and did keep it to a reasonable minimum on the sub.

Things get lost when you put them away—not physically, but in the mind.

“I know.” Did she?

She raised the whiskey to her lips.

“I’m just saying.”

[attr="class","beck"]did she?

it passes without being questioned as he raises his mug to sip.

"i believe you."

his attention falls back to the board as he moves his piece.

"think you're going to win?"

His eyes returning to the board relieved a pressure she hadn’t realized was there.

“Okay.” Good.

Castling, she moved her king into the corner and rook center.

“Yes,” she stated simply, as though it were the surest bet in the world.

[attr="class","beck"]"hm."

he does the same and castles, forced to strengthen his defense.

and then, almost randomly, he asks:

"what are your thoughts on taco?"

She advanced a pawn, and her face scrunched in bewildered amusement. Like, just one? Maybe it was a proper noun.

“Who’s Taco?”

[attr="class","beck"]"taco. like the food."

still, even after kris flynn-edwards had made fun of him, he chooses to say it the way he thought it should be said.

"my friend flynn taught me how to make them."

Weird.

She stared. His strategy worked, and she made a poor move, not catching herself even as she sat back, twisted ash off her smoke and sipped her whiskey.

“Flynn? Cop Flynn?”
