[Here we go! Have Battler sitting out in the rose garden, under the gazebo, staring down at a chessboard which had been left untouched for a bit. He demanded that they take a break before they continue their game anymore, so Battler had grabbed another chessboard and was just fooling around with the pieces on it here and there, trying to decide new moves against Beato.
Battler tapped his foot on the ground, besides the rain all around him it was the only sound that could be heard. Yeah- he was nervous, it was clearly evident by his expression. Okay...okay... he just needed to calm down. This would just be a tea party with a good friend of his. Ronove had left the tea and everything here for him, including several cookies on a tray that the demon butler had made. Battler continued to stare down at the chessboard, he reached over to the cookies and grabbed one, placing it in his mouth- his gaze never left the pieces he was staring at.]
Where is she...? [He wondered out loud, Ronove said he'd greet her and give her an umbrella and everything when she got here. He hoped that damn butler hadn't pointed her in the wrong direction.]
