Nymeria just stood at the door without saying anything. She then brought down her head in deep thought.
After few minutes, she finally stepped inside.
She walked past the boy and then pushed out the chair opposite to the boy that was resting at the window wall.
The boy let out a low chuckle and pushed his chair back into place. He looked at Nymeria for a while, and without saying anything, he slid the chess board and the card game to the side of her table.
"Pick a game," he muttered.
Nymeria's eyes shifted between the two items. She swallowed once, then said, "Chess."
The boy let out a sound low in his throat. He shifted the card game aside without looking at it.
"May the best win," he said, and reached for the white pieces.
The first round started.
The boy made a move first. He slid his pawn from E2 to E4, and the wood clicked soft against the board.
Nymeria studied it for a second, with one hand resting against her lips, before she then move her pawn from E7 to E5.
