[A few pen taps, before she writes into the journal neatly]

Would anyone like to play a game of chess? I was thoroughly trounced last time I attempted a game, so I could definitely use the practice.

Or perhaps even a good teacher.

[Awkward pause goes here]

Ah- I'm not so sure it would be a good idea to take lessons from him. He also has a very round about way of doing things. Doesn't seem beneficial to chess.

He beat you, didn't he?

Though I guess if you're a newcomer to the game, that wouldn't take a lot of skill.

[obstinate-view.livejournal.com]

Yes, he did.

It's...Not his skill level that I find bothersome. He cannot speak in a direct manner. About anything. And I'm sure I wouldn't get the lessons without a price.

I assume you aren't talking about money.

A man named Lelouch once claimed to be a rather sound chess player. Perhaps you could ask him for lessons.

[obstinate-view.livejournal.com]

I'm not. Money is of very little consequence here. Unless you've gained a debt with the city.

Lelouch Lamperouge?

Correct. We were supposed to engage in a chess match at some point, but I suppose more pressing matters got in the way.

[obstinate-view.livejournal.com]

Mm...I would say so. [He's on her stalk list~] Perhaps I'll ask him for a match first. I won't get very far if I request lessons and he's...worse off than I am.

His brother and a girl named Euphemia speak quite highly of him, but that means little if it's all talk. If he turns out to be a disappointment, I suppose I could show you the basics of chess strategy.
