Her brother was perhaps their current expert, but as far as she’d been aware, he hadn’t had a hand in the machine’s very beginnings.

Fowl. The name wasn’t familiar.

“Thanks.”

The hand opposite of the one that had been writing before picked up a pen and jotted down the name in the same odd shapes, no space.

“Not necessarily. Just curious about the mechanics, and some things. I also want to know if they accomplished what they were trying to do.” Had the shadow project been the goal or something based on a chance discovery? How had they figured it out?

What could she take from it?

“You said if I can find anya fowl . Do you have any idea where they might be?”

[attr="class","beck"]finally, after a long while of analyzing and problem solving, he tips over his king, conceding.

"they're currently in lilycove, last i checked."

he exhales, pulling out his trusty flip phone.

"i'll send you the address."

and with that, he starts tapping away. it's painfully slow.

"good game, by the way."

She’d won, and barely acknowledged it at first.

Lilycove… fuck Lilycove. Her head nodded, and she watched him text. Theo seemed a hell of a lot older than he really was sometimes. Yikes.

“Thanks.” Something Lulu rarely said.

Oh. The game.

She was brought back to note the king toppled on the board.

“Uh… yeah. That was…” Fun? Not quite. It made her feel like she'd been time traveling and impossibly still all at once. The same way cards made her feel. “Nice. You're not bad.”

Eyes lingered briefly near his occupied stare before she looked away again, gaze falling on nothing in particular. Her mind blanked.

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

finally, after a good minute or two, he hits send, pocketing his phone after.

he looks back at her, unsure of what to do about the silence around them.

looking back to the board, he asks:

"again?"

Lost in a reverie, she jumped a little when the phone buzzed. Side-eyed the message, and then looked back at him, staring in the wordless, judgmental way she occasionally did. The tiny smile, as though she’d heard a joke. Where was Theo’s dexterity?

Her eyes fell to the board along with his, and she shrugged.

“Sure.”

Then, a drawer creaked, and a hand reached into the desk. A bottle of whiskey was produced. Perhaps all of the drawers in the desk contained booze. It would explain why there were so many stacks of paper everywhere else.

Two mugs were set, poured, and she placed one in front of him.

[attr="class","beck"]with her acceptance, he resets the board, moving the pieces back into play before rotating it, giving himself the white pieces this time.

the pawn moves up, starting their match.

it's then that he glances around the room, pointing out the obvious stacks of paper.

"you really should tidy up a bit."

It caught her off guard, of course. The tiny smile dropped. She reached over to grab his mug back and consolidate the contents into her own.

A pawn advanced to meet his head-on.

“Why’s that, Beckett? Are you calling me messy?”

Her eyes narrowed in a glare.

“Everything's in stacks.”

A black knight progressed past the frontline.

“What good is my research if I can’t see it in front of me? Things get lost if you put them away.”

[attr="class","beck"]an amused look creeps onto his features, rare from him, but not entirely out of place in this room.

he moves a pawn, attacking the knight, before gesturing over to their right.

"what's in this stack?"

A bishop progressed, daring him to spend time on the knight.

“You know, you got me. Let me check.”

She rolled over, leaving the board to scrutinize a couple of pages.

“Oh. It says ‘None of Your Business.’”

[attr="class","beck"]aggressive as ever, he holds his position, moving his pawn up to defend the knight.

"alright."

once again, he pulls out his flip phone, and it flips open more dramatically than he intended.

after a brief moment of silence, he looks up at her.

"how do i unsend a text?"

How does one flip open a phone dramatically—

Never mind. Theo managed to do it, and it was hilarious.

“You just delete it. Duh.”

She rolled back over, taking a sip of her whiskey and moving a pawn.

“Did you just break your phone?”
