[ An intriguing question, and that's one Claude considers while reaching for a tray to carry all of their tea supplies on. ]

Outside, I think. The evening's cool enough that I think even you won't melt with hot tea to go with that.

[ He's not going to miss a chance to lightly tease Sylvain all because he can while picking up the tray to head out to the terrace. One fragile thing to move at a time as the cups rattle thanks to the motion and he keeps a careful eye on them. Once they're set down, it's back for the chess set next which gets carried with no less reverence.

Lovely as the dim lighting inside had been, the bright moonlight above helps illuminate everything a bit more. By the time Sylvain makes it outside, he'll find Claude distracted with the board only partially set up since he's once again admiring everything about each piece being set out until he looks up with a smile. ]

Turns out being out here was all the better for getting to see all the work on these, too. You really went all out.
