[On the tail end of their previous conversation, to ask that-
Is suspicious in a way even Akechi has to recognize is his own paranoia bursting to the surface - fresh off old wounds and worries. Chess is a common game. Cards are a common game. Eren is being petulant because he was left alone, asking for him to entertain as a price for him wandering off -
Feels normal. Acceptable.
The visible surprise in his widened eyes lasts only a second. He's composed. Back. Fine.]
I didn't expect that. Aren't you full of surprises today? If you want to play chess, we'll have to go to an establishment - I've seen a few setups at different places. I'm not against going to one now.
[What's open at 1AM for teenagers to play chess before a 4AM jog?? Who tf knows. Time to find out.]
As for other games, I don't own any and I doubt my roommates have a secret stash somewhere.
Chess is fine. I'm not stupid enough to think I'm any better at it than you are, but I can hold my own.
[With this, he gets up, starts heading toward the door.]
I think there's actually an outdoor set somewhere near The Stone Dragon - assuming none of those brainwashed goblins or gelflings ran off with it. [He only says "brainwashed" because of current events, right? Right?]
Given your propensity for surprising me, I assume even if you aren't good, it'll be entertaining at a minimum.
[No one was a better match than the cafe worker in some cozy alleyway shop. Akechi's expectations are low as he moves towards the door to wander off towards Stone Dragon in the dead of night.
What is happening today.]
And if they did, we'll simply hunt them down for it. It should be simple enough, given the frequent looping.
[Following him out the door.] Right. This place is a total mess. For all we know, the chess pieces will get up and start moving by themselves...
[So, they'll wander into town, track down that chessboard; turns out, it wasn't stolen, but knocked over. As they approach, Eren's mouth falls into an irritated frown. He bends over to begin collecting all the pieces.]
There better not be any missing...
[There aren't, so the game can commence. They play until it's time to run.]
