Sweetheart, how many times are we going to play this little game? You find yourself with too much time on your hands, you drag me out from god-only-knows where and plunk me down in all manner of settings - none of which are ever up to par in terms of amenities, I'll have you know - and in return, I always, always prove too much for you in the end. Isn't that how it works? Aren't those the terms of our engagement? Please, correct me if I'm wrong, do.

[She purses her mouth and raises her eyebrows in mock-expectation. After a long moment of silence, she smirks. Expression and tone both frank, she continues - ]

Let me spare you a good deal of time and strenuous activity and make myself clear: I have no intention of playing pawn to your chess-master any longer. There's nothing in it for me in the end, you see.

I trust we can finally consider the matter put to bed, there's a dear. Best wishes for your examinations,

- I

Don't sell yourself short. If what my mun's telling me is right, you're at least a bishop.

Which is still, ultimately, a chess piece.

Of course, either of us could wind up a queen if we're lucky.
oregoniandionysus: (think that one's optional)

It might.

[Uncertain, but making an allowance for the possibility. Still, he can't keep a mild sneer out of his voice as he adds:]

If it really is love at first sight, why wouldn't it?

It's a Nysgod thing, not mine. I'll believe it when I feel my little heart go pitter-patter.

Still, couldn't be so bad. So long as I could still travel back to Fillory every now and then. And wouldn't be expected to give him too many heirs.

Mm-hm. Got a crown and everything.

The presumption therein lies your blatant disability to see the potential of a pawn. An isolated pawn may perhaps turn to something else entirely - under the most likely circumstances - take promotion unto queen. Said promotion usually reshapes the manner of game play and that keeps things interesting.

- Your presence, should you choose to grace is with it, Miss - or are you Missis this week? - would certainly be game changing.
