Okay she had, but Tibi didn't need to know that.

Tibi watched as the stone landed on three suddenly very glad that a chess piece had to navigate the court and not him.

"Ok, well... I guess I'll go first." Placing his piece in front of the court, Tibi adjusted his grip. Clearing his throat, Tibi first practiced the wand movement without the incantation. Satisfied, that it felt ok, Tibi looked down at his piece.

"Piertotum Locomotor," he said simply as he waved his wand. The piece gave a little shudder and Tibi lowered his wand.

"I just tell it what to do now," he said, half to himself, half to Cela.

"Erm, excuse me? Mister bishop? I need you to play hopscotch." Tibi watched at the piece merely swayed, not following his instruction.

"Erm, more specific, yes? Ok.. hop from square 1 to 2, and then from 2 to 4. And then 4 to 6. And then keep hopping in order." Tibi paused. "Please?"

It was kinda sweet how polite Tibi was being to his newly animated chess friend. But it wasn't getting him very far. The piece gave one definitive hop unto box 1 followed by another to 2. But then it stopped and went no further.
