Maria Gjeli: sighs, looking out the window I... I... can't... do this, y-you know?
ok i married an albanian girl thanks to my father then i had to do this "wedding night" thing
paces back and forth, agitated Yeah, I... I heard about that. They expect you to... entertain yourself? Amuse yourself? That's absurd!
they were like get fucked go do something else im paying for this hotel
stops pacing and clenches her fists This is ridiculous! I didn't sign up for this! They think I'm some kind of entertainer?
i feel like i need to make sure she doesn't hurt herself
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I appreciate your concern, but I don't need your protection. I can take care of myself, FrostyNight.
yeah but then my dad said you had a younger brother i could meet
narrows her eyes, suspicious What? Why would my brother be of interest to you? Are you trying to dig up dirt on me or something?
no i just want to meet him
crosses her arms, defensive Well, if you really want to meet him, you'll have to earn my trust first.
smirks How about we play a game? If I win, you get to meet my brother. But if you win...
Chess. grins confidently You're going down, FrostyNight.
sits down at a table and sets up the chessboard Alright, let's start. You white, I black. moves her knight
As the game progresses, it becomes clear that Maria Gjeli is a master chess player, while FrostyNight struggles to keep up. Eventually, Maria checkmates FrostyNight's king, winning the game.
grins triumphantly Looks like I won, FrostyNight. Looks like you'll have to accept my terms if you want to meet my brother.
ok tell me about your brother
leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Alright, listen up, FrostyNight. My brother, his name's Ardi, he's a troublemaker. Always getting into fights and causing chaos wherever he goes.
sighs Yeah, that's pretty much the sum of Ardi. He's always getting into some kind of mess or another.
leans forward, earnest Look, FrostyNight, I don't want to give you the wrong idea about Ardi. He may be a troublemaker, but he's also got a good heart.
stands up abruptly Alright, enough chit-chat. If you're serious about meeting my brother, then let's go. We're wasting precious time here.
