"Scent is not a major concern for me," she said entering. "I can adjust my sensors if needed."

At the bottom of the stairs, he pushed open a large, wooden door. "The parlor is through here. I believe you will find the chess board and pieces already set up. Would you be upset if I poured myself a glass of wine? You are, of course, more than welcome to anything in my home, should I offer or not. I will do my best to remember that which you can and cannot partake in."

"Oh no no! They're no inconvenience, I simply feel rude not offering you anything. You are no inconvenience. Never think that." He shook his head and uncorked a bottle of wine.

Sinthos pulled out a chair on one side of his chessboard. "O dark beauty, are you prepared?" Noticing her change, he thought it best to get on with the game. "If I thought it would not offend you, I would say I'll go easy on you until you're quite adept at Chess. But I do not think you would appreciate such a comment."
