Mr. Young remained quiet as he moved a pawn into play on the large chessboard on the table between him and his challenger. A smug smile worked on his face as he leaned back in his chair and waited for his challenger to make a move. The challenger frowned and tapped a painted nail on her rouged lips, "Really dear...must you put your queen into play so early?" Madam Tracy asked setting her knight a few spaces forward.

Mr. Young lifted his teacup delicately and gave a long loud sip, "It had to be done...I wasn't going to let you get ahead again," he said with a smooth chuckle. Madam Tracy sighed and took up her own tea before watching Mr. Young as the man contemplated his move. She brushed her lips with a napkin as she watched. She hummed contently as she looked at the board still mainly empty, she did enjoy these long chess games. Really with the proper amount of timing this one could last well into the next century but they didn't have that kind of leisure time especially with all the pieces on the board.

Mr. Young scratched his chin as he tapped his other finger on his queen before sliding it forward a few spaces closer to one of Madam Tracy's pawns. Yes, Madam Tracy decided, they have to be very careful with how long this game would last, especially for all of the little pieces involve. She gave Mr. Young a bright smile before moving one of her rooks near a bishop with a soft hum. She really had to check and see if they had enough tea.
