“...and the one with the Monopoly pieces all over them...”
“That's cheating, you realize.”
Robin looked up from his contemplation of the board to meet Raven's cool expression. “What's cheating?” he asked, showing his hands, “I haven't done anything.”
She sighed with all the patience of a goldfish. “You're wearing your mask,” she pointed out, crossing her arms under her chest so that the monopoly pieces depicted on her cotton top became very prominent as they were thrust forward.
He drew his eyes up to meet her eyes and chuckled, “How is my wearing the mask cheating?” he asked.
“It gives you an advantage...I can't read you with your mask on,” she explained simply.
“Bull,” he said bluntly. “First of all,” he leaned back, “You don't need to be able to read my expressions to play chess, you know it's only about your reactions to my moves on the board and second of all,” he continued before she could hope to counter his first point, “You don't need to see my eyes to read me, and you know that too.”
Raven's open mouth closed with a snap as she re-thought her plan of attack. She leaned back against the foot of the sofa, her arms still crossed under her chest and Robin's attention was once again drawn to her colorful and whimsical pajama top and the prominence of certain pieces displayed. He couldn't help but stare at the picture of the shoe piece which was displayed right at where her...
Raven cleared her throat and his eyes shot back up to hers.
“Plus, talk about distraction tactics,” he motioned her reclining position and looked back pointedly at the board. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Raven straighten and lower her arms to rest on her lap. He smirked. “Interesting Pjs, by the way,” he said casually.
“Shut up and make your move,” she said seriously.
He bit back a smile and tried to contemplate the board for his next move, but couldn't help but make one final comment, “If you want to see my eyes that badly, though...” he trailed off purposefully and looked up at her to see her reaction.
Her eyes were on the board and her expression was pensive and determined, “Move or forfeit, Blunder Boy,” she said apparently unperturbed.
He chuckled and moved his chess piece all that closer to her. Playing Chess with Raven was always so much more interesting than with Bruce or Cyborg.
And her choice of clothing was only half the reason.
