He did not like how she kept raising her eyebrow and giving his chess pieces pointed looks. They didn't deserve that, they were good soldiers after all, she shouldn't give them cause (however justified) in doubting his leadership ability. Gangleri hid his scowl behind his glass as he took a small sip. He both hated and loved how it always felt like Quil was a few moves ahead of him.
At least he had the benefit of conversation to help him take his time as he tried to plan out his own little attack. "Maulings are nasty business. At least he recovered well enough though. And besides, the ladies like scars. Especially ones with interesting stories. Though I suppose men like them well enough too if he happens to be so inclined to care about their opinions as well." It was far too early for him to try to distract her and cheat, she'd easily notice an out of place piece. So instead he decided to be daring and just slide his bishop out into play, keeping it back for now, but otherwise ready.
"Why do they have you minding bar again? Because clearly you should be doing something much more sinister and conniving. It would suit you."
