I take it this was supposed to be private...

[smilingtransfer]

Something like that.

[attorney_at_lol]

Yeah, well, maybe you should start writing your thoughts in a notebook.

Everything okay?

[smilingtransfer]

Perfectly so. By the way, in two or three years, will you allow me to come and play chess with your daughter? She was quite excited, and I thought I should set up an appointment early.

[attorney_at_lol]

Aha, um... Can we maybe just not talk about that?

[smilingtransfer]

Oh? Is something wrong? I thought you made quite the father figure.

[attorney_at_lol]

Er, thanks... The whole virus was just a little startling, I guess. But... Well, let's say in the unlikely event that I have a daughter in two or three years, you have my permission to play chess with her, okay?

[smilingtransfer]

I appreciate it. These are skills important to pass on to the next generation, after all.
