Rosa was lost in the sky and in her thoughts, but the words fiercely drilled through her mind. Her eyes seemed to widen slightly. "They would be honored to...? I'm not sure why. Plus, maybe she is talking to Chartreuse? But it wouldn't be right to ignore it."

She turned back to Elise, who was hovering the queen atop her head. The smile respawn, reflecting serenity, and a bit of surprise.

"Ave regina!" Running on impulse, she actually attempted a military-style salute. The result...Was not too shabby.

"I will do my best for you all!"

She went for the white queen and overheard what Glaukos said.

"Occam's razor. When offered several possibilities, the most simple-looking is generally the right one. Besides, if it were a hierarchic relation, how would it work? Let's say that queens and kings would go together, for example. Since we have two of each, how would the pairings be picked? Why would it be queen A and king B, and not queen B and king B for example? I fail to see any kind of mark on the relics that would differentiate them otherwise. Besides, remember : the difficulty of the challenge was supposed to be making it here. Not picking the 'right' chess piece."

Rosa picked the second white queen, tossed her in the air and catched between two fingers. Crossing the distance, she handed the chess piece to Chartreuse.

"I believe this is yours." She chuckled. "Chartreuse, you might forget something : some of us aren't from the capital...Look at me. I may be pretty cosmopolitan, but until yesterday I never heard of the name Nyanza. And conversely, you probably never heard of the Steel, but let me tell you that in Mistral, it's far from unknown. But I keep blabbering...So, team, the next question is : 'what now?' "
