King's Gambit

[Victor Steiner]

He sighed, so it was going to be like this was it? cold, hard and calculating. He looked at her with a slightly unamused expression which was lined with a certain level of disappointment. Duty he said quietly but firmly. Victor let the word linger a little before the kettle clicked and he continued making his tea. I also was not aware of what has been happening since I was gone. Issak only found me recently. He resumed his seat at the table, tea in hand, You have my condolences by the way, on the loss of your partner, Iassk's father. I would not wish such a thing on you, nevertheless, you do have my sympathy. He sipped his drink, it was far, far too hot for his liking and so he set it aside. He returned his attentions to the woman in front of him. It amused him that her cautious nature and inquisitive mind had not dulled since he was away. Yet her physically being here, even when she showed no sign of trust toward him what so ever did beg a question.

Why are you here, Empress of the Omegas?
