"What's up," Ludwig heard as Hoyo showed up right next to him with a roasted squid on a stick that he was eating from.
"Oh, Hoyo… emm nothing much," Ludwig didn't want to share what he was thinking out loud, lest that it's nothing and he's just overthinking nor did he seem to want to reveal what he had in mind, because one of the guards seemed to pay too close of an attention to him than others. The same person that escorted Rudolph to rest.
"You lost already," Hoyo laughed as he said, "But it's okay, I mean it's a pretty tough game."
Ludwig who was in full thought only replied in "Yeah," completely absorbed in his own mind and what was going on.
"Seems like a lot of players are out," Hoyo said as he saw several players standing up with dissatisfied looks on their faces while others looked around seeing if anyone had saw their 'brilliant' moves.
