Setting: Weiss and Flynt are playing chess. Seemingly, Flynt is losing.

Weiss: So, why did you insist on playing black?

Flynt: *cocks his eyebrow, smirking*

Weiss: Oh, you know what I meant.

Flynt: Ha, yeah, I know. *moves a piece* It’s because it’s more challenging to go second.

Weiss: How so? *moves piece*

Flynt: See, White inherently has the advantage because it goes first. *moves piece* 

Weiss: Uh-huh? *moves piece*

Flynt:*moves piece* Making the first move allows you to set the pace of the game. I have to play around you. I have to counter you and figure out your strategy before you take my kind.

Weiss: *moves piece* And you think you can predict me, huh?

Flynt: *smirks* I don’t know, princess. You tell me. *moves piece*

Weiss:*chuckles and prepares to move a piece*

Weiss: …

Weiss: Wait, no, I- *tries to move another piece and pauses* Wait, no, I-I’m in check?!

Flynt: By my count, checkmate is in 5 turns from now.

Weiss: …Smartass.
