He picked up on it so easily, and despite how Jancis thought it could be a simple way to talk, she was wrong. Instead, her eyes were on the board and wrapped up in the game.
Unexpectedly, he played as if he knew the game and she was the one learning. Staring at the board, she would move only to have her pieces taken. It was fun but required concentration and eventually got a corner, she cheered a little to herself.
By the end, Franz had over half the board, two-thirds, though she didn't stop trying to put down pieces until there were no more moves.
"You win. Dare say you are a natural." Laughing lightly, the board was cleared off and reset though she didn't make the first move.Â
Maybe she had been pressing too much. When everything was survival with no recovery. Had that all Franz done these pasts days? It had been over a moon and was the man quietly crying out for comfort? The questions could wait... at least a little while. This is what she wanted; what she insisted on. That not all wounds were physical.
"It is better this way." She said randomly, looking away from the board at him.
