Fake? I have a bookcase full of them in mine. They're just decoration.

[ he reaches up a plucks one of the very real books off the shelf. ]

These ones though... they look about as real as you'd expect.

[mustbepurged]

[She nods. Book woes.]

Yes! I was just reading this story about a princess who's cursed to fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years...

[ashenvaliant]

...

What light hearted literature you've picked in our time of crisis.

[mustbepurged]

Should I be reading something heavier...?

[ashenvaliant]

[ sweet estelle. ]

… No. No, you’re fine.

It sounds like a fairly depressing title, is all.

[mustbepurged]

Oh, that's what you mean. [Sarcasm! She gets it now.]

I suppose it is... but it has a happy ending!

What kind of books do you like to read, Yuri?

[ashenvaliant]

Oh, one of those all the suffering but they earn their happy ending in the long run kind of deals?

[ aka my favourite genre of fanfic--i mean. ]

I don't read as often as you're probably thinking. But tactical novels come in useful, when I can get my hands on them.

[mustbepurged]

[She nods. That's the genre!]

Oh, that's right! Your profile mentioned tactical knowledge. Were you in a leadership position before, when you were in the military?

[ashenvaliant]

Not a leadership position as such. But I do enjoy a bit of tactical planning, sure. Work to your strengths, right?

[ i say confidently knowing that i have a single brain cell and can't think of a single damn intelligent thought. ]

[mustbepurged]

I suppose that's a good philosophy. Oh, I bet you're really good at games, too!

[ashenvaliant]

I do like chess, yes. Predictable as that sounds.

[mustbepurged]

There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe we can play sometime.

[ashenvaliant]

Mm. I’d enjoy that.

Nothing like a game of chess to get your mind off [ he waves a hand ] all of this crap and on something else for a while.
