[ The glass rectangle has a Turquoise colored plastic tray in the bottom. It's currently empty . . . ]

Is your memory that poor?

No. We only met each other once. It was brief.

That can still be enough time to recall a name.

Truthfully, it didn't seem important to remember your name.

Perhaps not, but it seems you did anyway.

[:\a]

Yes... Perhaps it was because you're a knight.

['-']

We have our uses.

[p-ping]

Only certain uses.

That's up for a team to decide if they would prefer to have our help or simply waste the opportunity.

Ah, your help is appreciated during a game like this. This one doesn't seem to require what I have in mind.

And what might that be?

[takes a moment to consider]

Sacrifice.

[just raising an eyebrow] That's a waste of your resources, then.

What do you mean?

If a sacrifice is called for, and the knight is immediately your scapegoat, you may be wasting another opportunity.

Right. I was worried you meant the opposite.

I'm not an advocate of sacrifice at any time for any reason.

From time to time it's necessary.

I wonder.

...it is.
