This time he's movig around a chess board, back and forth on the opposing sides. He has a book in his hand of chess strategies that he's reading as he makes moves for both teams!

She liked the courtyard. It was open. It was free. It spoke frankly. The walls whispered. She was drawn by the clash of swords, the sound of horses, and the sense of victory. Her eyes narrowed and head tilted as she watched Murdoch move to both sides of the chess board. A battle was being fought.

He hand flocks through a few pages of his book before he moves back to placing pieces on the board!

The war was waging. A battle between light and darkness. She thought she could almost hear the clockwork sound of strategists thinking and scheming. She needed a better vantage point. The battle was too chaotic to see from ground level. So she'd hop onto one of the chair's next to the table and would perch on it. Staring at the board.

He glances over to her, and back to the board with a smile. "Hey, I didn't know I'd have an audience, not that I mind."

That was spooky. Was this girl on the bank run? He didn't see her there, if that was the case. "Rebecca? Yeah, I mean she seemed pretty upset about the whole thing. I think we'll be okay. Were you there or something?" He scratches his head!

It's easy to remember where he left off, but it's thinking about future moves that's slowing him down. He moved a piece on the black side, and switched to move white, countering. Looking at the board, it would seem like white had a slight lead! "You an agent here?" He inquires. « Last Edit: Oct 26, 2015 22:36:36 GMT -6 by Murdoch Ó Caiside » Back to Top   Craft Spells // Breaking the Angle Against the Tide Fiona Harper Mentor Intelligence [send pm] Joined: October 2015 Posts: 1,096 Battle of the Minds [Fiona / Open] « Oct 26, 2015 22:38:17 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top For the first time since coming to the table Fiona would turn her gaze to the man, staring intently at him.

She replied, scratching at her arm. Her eyes wide as she quickly looked away back to the board. "Cam is lonely. Skylar has too much to prove. Miranda hasn't shown up yet.

Her eyes dart around the board again. Focusing on one of the white pawns. "It was hard for you to focus it. Every terrible memory locked and filed away. Everything in it's place to be examined and scrutinized later." Tears began to well up in her eyes. "A museum of the dead."

He goes to pat her on the shoulder. "You're metaphors pretty accurate, though. I try and keep everything 'filed' away, otherwise I can't concentrate at all. It's like getting lost up there sometimes." As a child Murdoch would involuntarily spend much of his time reliving past experiences. "Please don't cry. I'm really not good with that sort of thing."
