Hearing the woman initially offer her ’challenge’, Tanba was going to reach for one of his blades (why not, it had been a hot minute since he cut something or someone), however, when her expression softened, and she mentioned ’weiqi’, he places both hands on his hips instead. A curious smile on his lips, he replies, “Weiqi, that’s the same as ’Igo’, yes? The board activity with the white and black pebbles?” Tanba chuckles, making a thumbs up gesture that he pointed at himself, “I know it well!” No he didn’t, Tanba knew NOTHING about the game save for the few times he observed some of the other Coalition members playing it. Tanba’s knowledge of Weiqi/Igo rivaled a fish’s knowledge of walking on land, but that wouldn’t stop him from declaring otherwise, because he could do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, that’s what he believed anyway, “I’m a master at Igo, the best!” Leaning forward, one hand still on his hip and the other raised as he gleefully wagged a finger at the woman, Tanba adds, “I’d be happy to oblige you a round, if that’s what it takes to meet your lord.”
❁* ░ The serene, almost fearless seeming confidence was not something typical of a warrior - Cai Wenji, simply trusted her knowledge over people and their possible motives. The entire environment, people gathering together - she simply excluded the chance someone might actually draw their weapon at her, despite her wording being purposefully set towards a chance of a battle, the camp excluding sparring was considered to be a sanctuary for all. ❝ Oh. Yes, it is. Pardon me, I realized too late you are a man from future. ❞ Head nods slightly forward for a small bow. But an experienced player? Now, she is thrilled, not only for the fact he accepted it, but towards his confidence, as well.
❝ I am delighted to hear! Oh, I have never played against MASTER of Igo yet! Please, have a seat my lord. I will prepare everything for us. ❞ Her reaction genuine there was no questions towards his claim ( after all, she usually made apart careful plotting from freely selected moves ) and with this little challenge of Weiqi / Igo, Cai Wenji did not only buy time, but hoped to make it an enjoyable moment. She moves a curtain - gesturing path inside one of the larger tents - more activity based. Few soldiers from varying coalitions and timelines, already spending merry time bonding before games. Cai Wenji had not only similar intents: to know this stranger better, but also allow lord Cao Cao little more time to recover from his headache - which she avoided to mention at any circumstances, as well as do him service. Quite often, he did sound to consider her opinion towards people.
❝ Oh, I apologize... but I assure you shall eventually have an audience before lord Cao Cao. ❞ She places the board on top of the table and proceeds to prepare the game. ❝ Who are we honoured to treat as our guest today? ❞
