Julian paused for a few moments in hesitation when Nina slipped her arm around his, though he ended up just shrugging and following along with her regardless. Like her, Julian had to admit that none of the movies looked particularly appealing to him, since he had actually seen the majority of them before coming on board the flame of unity, and there were only a few that he was mildly impressed with. As such, he was more then happy to go along with whatever it was that she had in mind, and before too much longer, certainly before Julian was able to vocalize an opinion on the matter, the two of them were sitting in front of a chess board and Nina was ordering herself a drink, an offer which Julian decided to decline, since he was never much of a drinker.<br/><br/>Once that order of business was taken care of, he turned his attention towards the game in front of them and let out a small groan. "Oh great..." He was never particularly talent at games like this, since he wasn't exactly a fan of trying to think 3 or 4 steps ahead of a clever opponent. He wasn't by any means dumb, he was just more impulsive of a person, in reality. Well, he had always performed adequately at this particular game, he supposed... typically he was able to make an opponent earn their win, though he honestly didn't know rather or not Nina was also skilled at this game... Judging from her excitement though, he wasn't left with a whole lot of room to be optimistic. "Alright... so I make the first move..."<br/><br/>He would simply move a pawn forward, going with his rather typical opening which consisted of breaking out the knights and the pawns of the king and queen in a V formation.
