<div style="text-align: justify;">Rowena shook her head when Salazar smirked. She knew he would like to hear that he would probably win quickly on a duel. And, to be honest, it was not a lie. Rowena went very much by the book, while Salazar cared much more about winning than she did. So, yes, he would win a duel against her very easily. <br/><br/>When it came to chess, though, Rowena was pretty sure that she had a better chance at winning. She knew Salazar was not a logical thinker like her. Not in general. He could be a good strategist when he wanted something, but, most of the time, his pride and arrogance meant he was often careless. That was what Rowena was counting on to win.<br/><br/>While she waited for Salazar to come back, Rowena noticed Helga was nearby. And carrying a cake that, she had to admit, looked delicious. <br/><br/>"Afternoon, dear", she replied to her friend. Looking over at the cake, Rowena hesitated only for a moment or two, before nodding. "Well, I will have my slice and Salazar's too, if you don't mind. I have been working all morning, and I have to confess I could use something sweet".<br/><br/>As she spoke, Rowena moved her wand, making room for her friend to place the cake on the table where she did all her potion work. "You will have some tea with me, right?", she askeed.<br/><br/>Outside, at the communal study area, Godric was just walking in, his rosy skin and general messy appearance indicating that he had just come back from doing something outside.<br/><br/>Seeing Salazar, Godric waved at him, in his usual casual way. "Hey there!", he greeted. "What are you up to?", Godric asked, curious as usual.</div>
