[nishtha]

And you know how to make it worth casting the line.

[perfectionner]

Are you so interested in becoming the prey now, rather than the hunter?

[nishtha]

It's good to see the other side, now and again.

[perfectionner]

Don't tell me this is some form of self-flagellation.

[nishtha]

Would you prefer to flagellate me yourself? I managed to rescue my toy chest. It contains a rather lovely bull whip I haven't had a chance to try out.

[perfectionner]

Tempting, as always.

A whip does make a very telling sound, even for those lacking in heightened senses.

[ in other words, louis would likely overhear them in very short order, courtesy of these tents. ]

[nishtha]

Chess it is, then. The whip can wait.

[perfectionner]

Or we simply make the stakes more interesting.

Winner gets to wield?

[nishtha]

And so guarantee your victory?

[perfectionner]

Not necessarily. It has been some time since we've played. How am I to know you haven't been logging practice in the interim?

[nishtha]

I may lose on purpose.

[perfectionner]

To make me flog you harder, no doubt.

[nishtha]

Perhaps. [ Yes. ] Shall we begin with chess and see what happens? We might both be surprised.

[perfectionner]

With you, I've learned to always leave room for surprises, Armand.
