Room 528, Wednesday Evening

[icecoldfrost]

It had been three whole days, and the rest of her family had not yet shown up wielding lawyers and demanding she be turned over, so Emma was starting to relax again.

So to celebrate, Emma had the radio up, a mug of hot coco, and was playing chess against herself, French homework ignored for the moment. Sometimes (usually) her sense of relaxation was a little different from most people.

[Fixed the broken internet, so open door & open post to celebrate!]

Karla shook her head a little. "Where's the fun in that?" she asked. "I've got to see if I can pick up a copy next time I'm in Kaeleer. Blood chess isn't as much fun as cradle, but it's still a nice way to spend a few hours." She frowned at Emma's chessboard. "It's so tiny."

"It's not the size of the pieces, but how they're used, that determines the enjoyment of the game," Emma quipped, waving a rook at Karla. "For shame, darling."

"The board is tiny," Karla said, sticking out her tongue at Emma. "I'm used to playing with more pieces. And I have no idea how you're going to turn that into innuendo, but I have every faith you can."
