Sadee, giggled. “Hey Adrian Sorel, how well do you know Cai? Is he dating anyone?” She spoke with Adrian but kept her eyes on Cai, silently rooting him on as he worked to figure out the problem without the man’s help.

“Uh…I don’t think so.”Adrian Sorel said uncertainly. Cai had certainly never spoken about any girls with him. He wasn’t even sure Cai would be interested in girl’s like that. Though with humans it was hard to tell, he had noted that they seemed to have an obsession with such things.

After some minutes something clicked in his head, Red had been right in some part. If he followed the old geezers first move and advice then included what Sadee had suggested…then made one slight adjustment.

“Checkmate…” He said making move three and sat back folding his arms. A slight smug smirk on his face. Satisfaction at the thing being dealt with and solved.

Cai

Sadee began clapping enthusiastically, her face lighting up at Cai’s victory, and then, rather quickly, she became self-conscious. She felt silly and stopped clapping immediately. Her expression returned to it’s usual seriousness. “Poin- um, I mean, Adrian Sorel, we’re friends, right?”

“Umm…yes? Though I have always been confused by what humans mean by friends…” Adrian Sorel said hesitantly.

Dr Jarvis looked up from his dinner at the clapping girl and rolled his eyes. He did not need to have overheard her conversation with the half-Vulcan to tell that she had unrequited feelings towards the boy whom he sat opposite. He was not sure which he found more pitiful, her attempts to curry the boy’s favour or his complete ignorance of the fact.

“I do not see why you are applauding him. He only figured out one move of the puzzle by himself, ” he said to the girl, his voice full of scorn.

Cai scowled at the man.

He then turned his attention to the chess board and began arranging the pieces into a new puzzle. “If you have time why don’t you ponder this one, ” he said to Cai, placing the last piece on the board. “It’s one of Klepton’s more obscure situations, however, still quite an interesting little puzzle. In this instance he is on the offensive, but appears to make a mistake.” Jasper moved a black bishop and then swiftly took it with a white knight. “You’re goal is to figure out why he made this move and how it led to his eventual victory.”

Dr J. Jarvis M.D

Cai watched him, silver eyes scanning the board and the man’s hand movements as he set up the puzzle and explained it. Looking at the older man a moment Cai seemed to scan his features as if looking for the answer there.

The boy would have found no clue from Dr Jarvis’ thin-lipped expression.

He turned his attention back to the board and swallowed before leaning forward. His right hand began to rub the small black spacer in his right ear lobe thoughtfully. After a few moments he reached out and moved two more pieces, took a white pawn then moved his queen. “Checkmate.” He said and looked at Jasper again. “Feel free to applaud this time,” he added.

Cai

Adrian Sorel grinned at his friend’s play and looked toward the older man to see his reaction to it.

Adrian Sorel

A faint glint lit up behind Jasper’s round spectacles as he watched the boy make his moves. Truth be told, given that he had been contemplating the Kleptonite manoeuvre, he would have expected him to solve this puzzle, however, certainly not that quickly. There were, of course, several possibilities. The boy could have seen the puzzle before, had a higher skill level than he would have anticipated and simply hit an unknown snag with the former puzzle or, more interestingly, was not as plainly human as he appeared to be. Given the day he’d had, Jarvis suspected the former.

“You solved that puzzle rather quickly, have you seen it before?” he asked, his attention outwardly focused on the boy but nevertheless interested in the reaction from his fangirl.

Dr J. Jarvis M.D

Cai shrugged. “No.” He said honestly. “But once you do one or two other similar set ups it gets easier. The first ones been bugging me for over a week.” He frowned slightly, the bar in his eyebrow pulling down slightly. “Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.” He muttered.

Cai

“Indeed,” Dr Jarvis replied with the raise of one eyebrow. He was not sure if he believed the boy; the set-up had not been ‘that’ similar. However, if he had been telling the truth, he may make for an interesting opponent. Jasper finished the remaining morsels of his lunch and drained the last mouthful of wine from his glass. “Perhaps we could play a game at some point?”

Dr J. Jarvis M.D

Cai shrugged in a non comitted sort of way and set the board up again for another puzzle.

Cai

Dr Jarvis stood up from his chair, picked up his tray and nodded his head slightly, “I suspect I shall be on board for quite some time, an opportunity may well present itself.” Taking his leave, he passed his tray over to the NE at the bar and left to head back to secondary sickbay.

Dr J. Jarvis M.D

Once the doctor was gone Cai looked at the other two teens. “So…anyone know who doctor creepy is?”

Cai

Adrian Sorel shook his head.”Nope.” He looked at the other two teens. “Want to go jam?” He asked.
