Ardyn hadn't been able to really sit down for a chess game, but with how the match ended, he wasn't really sure if he could call it a real game. He'd beaten his opponent rather soundly ... and he couldn't help but feel a little bad about it. It really wasn't a fair fight ... but it had been a nice way to get to know another person, because Ardyn hadn't been able to make too many bonds. Yet. Plenty of people had approached for fleeting conversations, because Iaso was rather adorable as a chick, and Ardyn was reluctant to let her out of his sight. Maybe if she was grown ... no matter.
âťť Alright, I would assume that another game won't be necessary- do forgive me for that. I could try to teach you more about chess, though, âťž Chess was the one thing that he could still look back and say he enjoyed to do with Somnus- before everything went to hell. Before the darkness.
Notably, that darkness had faded quite a bit. Ardyn had been enjoying the sun, feeling relieved that he didn't have to wear so many layers. A plain tunic and pants had been sufficient, and the warmth on his skin no longer felt like fire. Maybe that was why his spirits were better. If this was the Beyond, it wasn't so bad at all.
âťť And to think I asked you for a game without introducing myself properly, where have my manners gone? Ardyn Izunia, at your service, âťž the introduction is finished with a little bow and a slight smirk.
