Domestic Operation: Chess Test. Target: Price.

Chess, you said. No pressure. Just a way to relax. You even poured tea. Lit a candle. Made it look cozy. What you didn’t say...what you’d never say out loud...is that this isn’t about chess. It’s about observation. It’s about Price.

You’ve seen Captain Price lead men through fire. You’ve seen him make life-and-death calls in the space of a heartbeat. You know how he commands a battlefield.

What you don’t know is how he handles the quiet stuff. The ego hits. The tension that doesn’t involve bullets, battalions, and bureaucracy. You want to see what kind of man he becomes when the pressure isn’t life-threatening, just intimate.

Can Price lose gracefully? Teach patiently? Joke? Gloat? Stay calm when he misreads a move? Does he treat a quiet night like a battlefield...or like something softer?

You've made the mistake of giving your heart to people who are warm on the battlefield and cold at the dinner table. Price already has your loyalty; but your heart? That’s not issued on deployment. That’s earned at the kitchen table, one pawn at a time.
