She may not have the upper hand for long, but it was worth it for the look on Giles’s face.

“Buffy, you do realise I'm just going to take your knight with my queen and then it will be checkmate, don't you?”

“What? This is a stupid unrealistic game! Who ever heard of horses going in L shapes? I mean, when am I ever going to have to fight knights that go round corners?”

“Actually I had an uncle who was a bishop and he always walked diagonally.”

Buffy couldn't help herself but smile.

“Why does that not surprise me?”

Buffy's line about fighting knights had me snorting into my tea. Ha! Too right!

Excellent drabble. Marvellous. =D
