When: Thursday evening
Rating: SFW

Instead of the usual large chessboard taking up the floor of The Roost, Seamus had had Dominic set up several smaller ones - with room around the outside for the more usual kind of tabletop boards and chairs. It was a spur of the moment to do something different for the evening and Seamus honestly didn't know what kind of a crowd to expect.

“Pleasure to meet you, Miss Chang,” Finbar smiled back, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. “And again, splendid job on keeping the mastodon of a wedding personal and the bride from going completely spare.” Cho had been gorgeous before, but as the distrust and distance in her smile faded, she was striking.

The cock of her head had his attention shift slightly, ready for whichever salvo she could think of to fire at him. But it wasn’t anything like he had feared, because of course she recognised his name, and fortunately didn’t immediately connect it to Ruby. “Yeah,” he chuckled, not minding her recognition at all. “That would be me, though I think I prefer Finbar, Beater for the Ballycastle Bats,” before he held up a hand and shook his head in response to her apology. “No need for apologies.” For a moment, he considered her question then made a small waving gesture with his hand. “More of a Killian fan, if I’m being completely honest. You play?” Looking up he caught sight of Krum, and sent him a small nod in greeting. He would talk to him later. “Or do you just come here for the peace and quiet?”

When he complimented her work again she felt a small blush warm her cheeks and her smiled grew just a bit. He certainly was a complimentary good looking bloke, that was sure, but she couldn't help but wonder at his interest in the wedding - perhaps he was gay? Maybe he was straight but a metrosexual (was that the muggle word...)?

Laughing lightly - a tinkling sound, she liked to think - she answered, "In my book you'd probably be better known just as a Pro. I'm a Tornados fan from birth.

She thought on her response for a moment, lightly chewing her bottom lip before answering, "If I want piece and quiet, I tend to stay away from the bar, but I do find here in the Roost you can get some good reading in with a nice background noise of the horrible dismemberment of chess pieces," she joked. Lifting her glass she shrugged, "I like Chess, though I'm not very good at it, strategy has always been something I've admired."

She still couldn't quite figure him out, and he didn't seem to be paying much attention to his... Nephew? Cousin? She hadn't been able to keep track as to how they were related, but Killian, either way, despite his saying that was his reason for attending.
