“Have you moved from that spot since our briefing, Sir?” Helena asked.
“I did take a little walk, Sister,” Colonel Larkin replied. “There's a lot of paperwork involved in commanding an SG unit.”
“I'd imagine so,” said Helena. “I had a lot of paperwork in my Air Force days. Come to think of it, I had a lot of paperwork in Carmel as well.”
“Ah, paperwork, one of those unescapable things, like death and taxes.”
“Indeed, Sir.” Helena paused. “You offered to play a game with me. Will you play with me?”
Larkin smiled. “I would be willing to play with you,” he replied. “Now let's see…you busted me at poker Friday night, and Fairbairn tells me you're a chess wiz.” He went to the team’s entertainment locker. He pulled out a deck of cards and a cribbage board. “Have you ever played cribbage, Sister?”

I truly love this Matt and my apologies for being so slow in my replies.

“I did a few times period with my Papa. I was terrible.”
“Good,” said Larkin as he set up the cribbage board. “Easier for me to win.” Helena arched her brow and sat down opposite him. “I think that was supposed to be an encouragement.”
Larkin shuffled the cards and dealt them.
“Consider it motivation,” he said. For a while they played in silence, say for the cadence of them calling their moves and the slapping of cards on the table. Helena managed to get a small run. She grinned.
“Beginner's luck,” Larkin muttered as pegs were moved.
“Or,” she said sweetly, “You underestimated me.”
Larkin looked up the Carmelite across the table, his lips twitching in the faintest hand of a smile. “Wouldn't be the first time.” The game continued with each of the two winning different hands. In the end Colonel Larkin won the game.
