<div style="text-align: justify;">Rowena couldn't help but smile and shake her head when Salazar said he was not doing anything too mischievous. She knew he was often up to no good, and wouldn't trust his word on that. "You should try and deceive someone else, Salazar", she replied with a smirk of her own. "I know you all too well to fall for this". It was, in some way, true. Rowena often <span style="font-style: italic">allowed</span> Salazar to trick her into doing what he wanted, but, most of the time, she could see right through him. <br/><br/>When Salazar asked her to play chess with him, though, Rowena was caught by surprise. What did he want? Did he want her to pick him over Godric? Rowena shook her head. She shouldn't trick herself into thinking that. She needed to keep her wits about her.<br/><br/>"Well...", she replied, feeling warm inside. "...a duel is very tempting, but it would end too fast".<br/><br/>Rowena paused, feeling her cheeks burn. She was sure she was blushing, hard.<br/><br/>Knowing that she was putting herself in Salazar's hands, she sighed and continued. "I would prefer a game of chess. We can duel if you win, though. Do we have a deal?".<br/><br/>The girl knew she was letting Salazar make the decision, but, at least, it gave her a way of saying she had only done what he had asked her to, in case she messed up and ended up doing something she should not.</div>
