"I know it was Pox. And all honesty? I don' care. I'm with you now, Sarah."
He kisses her cheek.

She looks deep into Fionn's eyes, and says this, "I have a feeling she's gonna try to get you back. Be aware of that. Heck, she's already got [i]me[/i] feeling guilty. Listen, chess is the game. Checkmate is when either of us give you up. And our feelings, what we hear, and whatever she can manipulate to turn us against each other, are the pawns. Who knows what she's doing. She's probably eavesdropping on us, developing a strategy, and planning to carry it out. She's gonna use my paranoia as an advantage!"

Fionn raises an eyebrow. "Sarah, you need ta calm down a bit. First off, I don' think ya understand: she dosent stand a chance against ya." He gently kisses her, then pulls back. "An' besides, I already made my choice. I choose you, my beutiful Warlock."

-
Fionn smiles. "Well, I'm guessin' ya don't plan on leavin me alone with our new Hunter friend, so 'ow bout a game o' chess?" He offer.
-
"Sure!" She says.

Fionn materializes a chess bord and pieces, one side is miniature Fallen with dregs as pawns, Vandals as knighs, Kell as a queen, Sepiks prime as king, archons as bishops and servitors as rooks. The other one is Cabal, with varies ranks as different pieces.

She grins, "Who's going first?"
-
He grins back. "Ladies first, love."
-
She moves her pawn, a Psion to square 6H.

Sarah easily beats Fionn, then beats him in a rematch. "Well, I guess I still stuck at chess. So, what should yer reward be, lady Warlock?" He asks playfully.
-
"Two dates, you pay both times."
-
He smiles. "Deal."
-
"You've never shown me the apartment, care to give me a tour?" She asked.
-
He shrugs. "Sure, though there isn't much to show." He stands up. "We probably shouldn't head upstairs right now, but I'll show you the floor level." Sarah can hear a shower is on upstairs, signaling Pox is likely taking a shower.
-
Sarah got off the couch and stretched.
-
Fionn shows her around. "The kitchen is o'er there. An' the bedroom's there." He leads her through each room respectively. "You already saw the livin' room, an' the bathroom's right o'er there." He points to the other room. "Upstairs is another bedroom an' bathroom." He says.
-
"Which is where Pox will be staying, correct?" She asked.
-
"Until she finds somewhere else, yeah..." He seems to not like the prospect any more than Sarah would.
-
She smiled, "Don't worry, we'll get through this."
-
He nods, smiling a bit. "Yer right. Oh an'... Actually, never mind." He looks down at the floor for a second, as though embarrassed whatever he was going to say. "Want somethin ta eat?" He finally asks.
-
"Sure."
-
He smiles, glad that she didn't question what he was about to say. He leads her to the kitchen. "I don't 'ave much, I could make a sandwich if ya like."
-
"Sandwiches are perfectly fine, Fionn. Sometimes you gotta eat basic."
