“Where did you learn to play?”
Kent ‘the Bard’ Wheelock asked the old woman sitting across from
him.
She looked up slyly, a slight
smile slipping along her lips. “One does not become Archeireus et
Celatrix Ministrae without learning a number of strategy games.”
“Don’t become the
Bard without it neither,” he muttered.
Sizing him up, her grin faded,
“oh, I do say.” She nodded sympathetically as she pushed her
queen-side bishop into play.
“A little premature, no?” he
asked as he threatened the bishop with a pawn.
