Thorne set his glass of water down and said politely, "The pleasure is all mine to have a chess match with you, Quintin."

Thorne walked over and took a seat across from Quintin. "Please, Quintin, guide me through this game," he added. Vesta and Granger, along with the others, gathered around to watch the game unfold.

Charlene and Stewart joined too, positioning themselves behind Quintin.
