Planning for the Future
So we went for a quick walk. I got a VIP tour of the whole castle. Turns out that it only made me jealous of how stylish it is.
Then we decided to take a break and play some chess. We did that on a whim after I said something about how a reading room would be the perfect place to play that game.
I had to teach him from the ground up starting with how to manufacture the board itself. Our host used magic to accomplish the task and the result is surprisingly amazing. It would put all the existing chess sets to shame.
That used to be one of my hobbies. I would walk along what we would call the old city back in the other world. It featured touristic attractions, little shops, and public entertainers. Some of these small shops would have custom-made chess sets.
One of them sold collection swords and was selling one such board with extremely intricate and awesome medieval-looking pieces. Of course, all of that was expensive as fuck so I never bought any.
