'Great'? It looks so complicated! Can't you be into checkers or Candyland or something? [but there's a smile on her face.

And then a mild look of surprise at the other before she becomes a little wary and uncertain. It's not like she'd never had friends besides her sister before, but her first instinct had been to respond asking if Mayu could come too. Or maybe to say she'd have to check with her first.

Either way, it had been a sudden, bitter reminder for her own loneliness. But considering she'd jsut gotten done reassuring kirk about not being alone, she can hardly sink into her own moment of despair. So, feeling more like she's forcibly clawing her way out of a hole, she huffs a little laugh and glances away]

I think you just want to kick someone's butt in chess to make yourself feel better. [a pause and she nods, looking back] But sure, why not. It could be a little fun. [She's joking, because she really is interested despite herself and it's fine this mun knows fuck all about chess too] We could meet at the atrium?
