So Santi has a lot of friends, you know, he's been getting more and more of them and Ajedrez is his friend too. One of the best ones because she speaks Spanish and is going to teach him a bit about playing music and can look at him without flinching. He invites her over for dinner, like he would anyone else, don't you know, and there you are! That's when it starts.
He notices Le Chiffre noticing Ajedrez a little and smiling more than normal, and remembers the doctor when he used to go all lovesick (and the boys would laugh) and Ajedrez blushes at something Le Chiffre says that Santi wasn't listening to, because it's just occured to him.
Maybe, maybe this is a plan. It could be, right? Because Le Chiffre doesn't have any kids or a wife or anything except Santi, because he's dead and not going to get anywhere, so maybe Santi could find him someone he liked here. Right?
Right?
Right. So Ajedrez, he asks her later, doesn't have a fiancee or husband or boyfriend or anything either. He tells Le Chiffre so. He thinks he's being subtle when he waits thirty seconds before asking if they can have her back to dinner again.
He isn't really, but it doesn't look like Le Chiffre minds.
She comes over again and doesn't pick up on the... hints, Santi gives. Le Chiffre doesn't help at all, either. He even lights a candle! Romantic parts in comic books always have candles. Le Chiffre just tells him not to catch his sheet on fire or the tablecloth or anything. Ajedrez gets a plate to put underneath it. He thinks it's going well but she leaves early because she has work to do which is not promising at all.
Santi thinks maybe he's doing it on purpose.
Anyways, that doesn't go so well. But that doesn't stop him. You have to be determined in dealing with things like this, he's been told, or rather, so Ingress tells him when he confides in her about it and the two of them hatch an evil cunning plan together whose evilness and cunningness knows no bounds! Ingress says she knows it will work. She saw it happen in a movie.
Ajedrez gets daisies in her door from 'Le Chffre' (written in crayon without the 'i' by very well meaning souls.) Le Chiffre gets told that they're having her over for dinner again. Santi gets a last minute invitation to a party RIGHT as she arrives, right? So that's them, right, at dinner?
She comes to the door. She's smiling. Le Chiffre answers it, laconic. She shows him the note and the daisies, without saying anything. It looks like the jig is up.
Le Chiffre just takes Santi and Ingress gently by their respective shoulders and propels them into the hall, towards said party.
The flaw with this plan, Santi has learned, is that they don't get to know what happened!
As far as Le Chiffre and Ajedrez are concerned, well.
This is a good thing.
There's only so much of little hands meddling you can take.
