It is..." He drifted into another room, and, yes, there was his distinct presence, and he gestured again, "...a rather complex game after all, and....just a moment, darling..."
He cut himself off to mute the call while delivering some very important, very specific instructions that best not be overheard, and then continued returned to the call.
"Sorry about that. As I was saying, it's a very complex game, many moving parts, and you're best to approach it when your mind has not been dulled by endless inventory. And I would certainly not want to deprive myself of going against you at your best, either."
