Chess [Opening Move]

[wasafreak]

Teddy feels like something out of a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel. The townhouse is huge and the fireplaces keep it warm, and the kitchen's stocked and there's tea and aperitifs and so many books. The fact that they're entertaining, sort of, is pleasing in a silly domestic way. The fact that Teddy is wearing riding boots, rather fitted black trousers, and an overly romanticized white blouse while they entertain is silly in a pleasing historical way. All in all, it's not a bad time.

He sets down a bottle of cassis and a carafe of water before taking his own seat again.

"So it was like... the big bad wolf?"

"Yeah," Chase groused, uncapping the liqueur and pouring it into his glass. All the drinks were fruity as hell but, and he wouldn't just admit this, tasted pretty great. Those tricksy gays and their fancy booze.

"Except like the big bad wolf had a horrible love baby with the smoke monster from Lost, minus the shitty ending. I mean, the ending still sucked, it solidified and Tony blew it up, which was epicly nasty, but whatever. Thanks," he added, in reference to the refill.
