names so deep and names so true
"In your senses? Or higher powers?" In so asking, the Eye tilts his chin over his shoulder, giving Finn just the barest of glances and yet somehow taking in everything there is to see: the clean, but not styled curls, cheeks holding colour rather than letting it slip off, clothes that have never quite fit right.
He of course, doesn't answer Finn's question.
"There is a war coming. The last war was like a game of chess, wherein at the end, when the final checkmate was only a move away, new pieces were introduced to the game. It changed everything." He pauses only long enough to watch a bird fly across his field of view, as if it held the same amount of interest.
"This time there are not new pieces, but new games being played simultaneously. They're dressed up as the same game, but I don't believe they are." Pausing properly now that he might turn to fully appraise the Spyglass, Cian's denim blue stare meets Finn's stormy one. "In chess there are game-opening strategies. Middlegame strategies, and end game. Some players are better openers than they are closers, b ut if their opponents can never get a foothold, it doesn't matter. Others, who are good at closing but never find themselves making it that far, are frustrated by their own games. But we can't be masters of everything."
'Tell me Finn, where do you think we ought to focus our efforts?'
