There was a lot of windy moments right here. So he would surely loose many of the chess pieces if he played here. As opposed to say in the Arcade Room. "Have you gotten any better since I last played you?" Mark wasn't sure Lucas was one to keep playing chess after playing against him the one time. Especially since Joe was major distraction during their game.

Oh hey, will you look at that? He'd made someone LAUGH.

It probably wasn't a big deal but it was huge for this lion's ego.

Lucas tried his hardest not to beam, especially since Mark was talking about the bridge and how windy it was and, well, why it was a bad place to play chess up here. Instead, he chose to look over at the surroundings...... and then down at the bottom of the valley. Why? Just because. But he kind of wished he didn't because, uh, it wasn't doing his worries about the bridge any favours. Nope nope nope.

"Yeah......" he started, looking back up again, "They might find a new home right down there." At this, he pointed aaaaaaall the way down to where the bottom of the valley was. "But what if it wasn't windy? Would you take the risk?" He didn't really know why he was asking this but curiosity had gotten the better of him. And they were friends, right? So weird questions were normal.

He hoped.

At his question, a sheepish look crossed the boy's face and he scratched the back of his head. "Uh, well...... no?? I don't think I'm very good at Wizard's Chess." Or normal chess. Any chess. All chess. "It's a little confusing to me but I'm still starting." A beginner. That's what he was.

He was very conveniently trying to forget who else was there the last time they played. For embarrassment reasons.
