Madeline looked at Duncan. She kept walking with him as he talked. She nodded at times. She managed to faintly smile at times as well. 
"It is nice, if I have the time for doing so."
She was sincere and honest when she said that. She blinked when he mentioned chess and offered to teach her how to play. 
"perhaps. although chess was not something I would have pursued in the past."
She spoke the truth when she spoke of chess. She met Duncans' eyes when he glanced at her. He spoke of appreciating just taking a stroll. She nodded again. She smiled a bit bigger. 
"yes, it is nice."
