As in, chess? Or something else?

[shifting]

You would say chess. [humored.]

Cards makes a little more sense. You've gotta throw in some chance.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Do not dare suggest strip poker, Merlotte.

[shifting]

Your mind went there first, not mine.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am simply setting a boundary.

[shifting]

Didn't realize we were respectin' those.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You are respecting them. I have a doctorate.

[shifting]

Which I really couldn't care less about. This ain't a one-way street.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You don't possess the force to make it otherwise.

[shifting]

...You don't think I'd stop you, if I felt you were pushing too far?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Don't think you can, if I'm already in that deeply.

[shifting]

That's a dangerous way to think, Frederick. 'Cause I assure you I would.

And you might believe you're in my deep end already, but I promise your feet can still touch. It only looks that way to you 'cause I don't normally let swimmers in at all.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You do not normally allow swimmers to penetrate your depths? If I understand correctly?

[shifting]

[muffled by the hand on his face:] Every goddamn time.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You leave yourself open to interrogation.

[shifting]

And I'll bet you never miss an opening.

[turnabout's fair play.]

Which I'm curious about, while we're bein' honest with each other. How close to the mark was I in guessin' about your college days? [the ones which never quite ended, in Sam's estimation.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

You were correct in your assumption. I had... More trouble with women when in my youth. Things have been made inverse since, apparently. [In all regards; Chilton tended to have female friends and companions, and difficulty with men.] My TAs were all male. Most were open to negotiation.

[shifting]

So why hide it? You've still got Raina, can't imagine anyone assumin' it means you're any less interested in her.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Because I do not want exposure. In such a way.

[shifting]

Don't like bein' pinned down yourself?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why are you so fixated?

[shifting]

[in his best impersonation of Chilton's voice:]

Deflecting.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I am, yes, but that does not remove the merit of my question.

[shifting]

Don't see why I should consider it when you haven't answered mine yet.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I don't like you pinning me down, no.
