Emerson laughed out loud at that, leaning back slightly as he looked down at the board. Allison and Eterna with their word placements tonight. The battle was amusing, and he admited Allison's spark.
"Wouldn't that be a plot twist?" he mused. It wasn't the way of it tonight. Tonight had been an very fine combination of alcohol and not trying very hard. Eterna might've beaten him even at his best of course, but it could've been a much more difficult battle. "But, no really. Allison got more points with a few words than I did for playing most of them game. Is there even a chance for us to beat you at this point?" He observed the tiles with a dubious eye.
