Apartment above Cafe Fina, late afternoon

[badassbutler]

Alfred sipped a cup of tea and wondered if Walter would come in for a lesson today. While he had not explicitly given the boy the day off, it was his vacation, and he was most likely tired from the trip.

He'd leave it up to him.

Walter had spent the morning making preparations for tomorrow, but had expected that buslag jetlag wasn't enough reason to miss his lessons or work. He had a box tucked under his arm and knocked before entering Alfred's apartment.

Alfred looked up as Walter entered and pushed a full cup of tea across the table. "Hello Walter. How are you feeling? Wound healed?"

"Yes, sir, thank you." Walter sat down and passed the box to Alfred before tending to his tea. "I feel much better."

He indicated the box. "I was introduced to a part of London I did not know existed and thought you might have use for this."

Alfred raised an eyebrow and opened the box. "Hmmm. A chess set. A magical chess set, I see. Where did you pick it up?"
