She does, because it has been a while since she has made a new friend, and that is what he is turning out to be... at the least. Silver Fox doesn't ever tell her he loves her, which is good because she would have to scoff, but it shows in a thousand little ways that Shooting Star the pirate is ignorant of, but Estel the woman knows from watching the affection between her parents. Often now the commander and the scruffy man exchange satisfied glances behind her back, pleased with their advice.

As they play, Shooting Star begins to, not chat, but occasionally let fall the odd personal remark. Silver Fox feels that it is only fair that he should do the same, and in fact surpasses her in this, in hopes of encouraging these tiny confidences. They don't play for very long on any one day, and often not at all some days, but both start to look forward to this interaction. He does, because time with her is precious, and he enjoys stretching his mind even if he can't stretch his legs much.

Shooting Star gets the hang of it quickly, and Silver Fox explains to her that there are puzzles for game players at all levels, from simple to quite complex. He himself is good, but no better than that. "If you continue to improve so rapidly, I will soon no longer be able to make up squares challenging enough for you," Silver Fox tells her. "That's fine; then I can devise ones for you," she replies. "For now, create another puzzle for me, please. I'm enjoying this very much." "I'm glad."

Either the games require pieces that he doesn't have, or are too... frisky... to be played with his captain, or are glorified gambling when he hasn't got a cent. Then, a favorite traveling game of Maestro Sun Son's comes to him. "Well, there are many for which I do not have the proper board or markers, but here is one you might like," offers Silver Fox, and he proceeds to teach the intelligent young captain a game using numbers in boxes, that can be scribbled on paper, or any surface, really.

"I knew this after about six minutes, but Silver Fox, that's his name, has done nothing to change my mind but improve my opinion of him," Irayo assures her. "I still cannot let him above the hatches," Shooting Star says with something that might have developed into a sigh if allowed to do so. "But... I have heard that there are new games being played in the Central Kingdom... Do you know any?" This was an open invitation, and all Silver Fox could think of were completely unsuitable games.
