NO LONGER A WIP: READ THE FULL CHAPTER HERE!
Ayla, never more invested in a game of chess in her entire fuckin' life
"What's this one?" Ayla asked, flirtatiously leaning into Emmrich's shoulder.
"A mage, darling."
She smirked. "'Course it is. It's tall, just like you."
Em chuckled and beamed up at her before nodding across the table. "What about you, Bull?"
"Tamassran."
Emmrich made a pleased hum and repeated the name in Qunlat, momentarily distracting her. "What about the horsey?" she asked.
"Knight."
"Ben-Hassrath."
Ayla nodded, leaning further into Emmrich when she pointed to one of the only unique pieces on his side of the board. "And the one with the cute little hat?"
"The queen, dear."
"Arishok. Like our Ise." Emmrich raised a curious brow, and Bull explained, "'War-leader'."
"Ah, of course," Emmrich hummed, smiling at her. "Due to the extraordinarily versatile and powerful nature of the piece, I presume." Ayla fucking blushed, and Tal rolled his eyes as he wandered in to join them. But Bull just let out another loud laugh.
"Domineering, more like," he teased, making Tal choke on his wine.
Ayla flipped them off behind Emmrich's head, who surprised her by turning to shoot a sly smirk her way. "Looks like you've been promoted, darling." He snickered when she gave him a confused look. "From First Warden, to Arishok."
Tal damn near spilled his wine across the fucking chess board he laughed so hard, Bull and Emmrich right along with him. Ayla begrudgingly joined in, even though the look Em was giving her was gettin' her all hot and bothered. And fuck if he didn't notice it was making her feel something at least, given the sexy little wink he gave her too.
Andraste's tits.
