He taps at the edge of the table, looking down at the board and thinking. Trying to stall him out then, huh. Like a battle of attrition, trying to hold him off and wear him down until he makes a move. Except this is chess and the only resource he has to worry about is his own time. Well, he can be patient.
Maybe he's quiet because he's thinking of his next move or his answer...)
Now? (He looks up, raising a brow curiously. So he doesn't recognize the uniform he's wearing, huh?) Think of it like... a military school.
(And he makes his next move. Stalling it is, then. He'll see how far they can go.)
... But fancy. You won't find people sharing barracks or regular ol' folks hanging around. You work real hard or pay a lot to get in... or come from somewhere special if you know what I mean.
