[Ben receives the text, of course, but he simultaneously assumes it was an accidental inclusion - because he's still petulantly angry about things he can't even begin to sort out - and doesn't like talking where it can be record anyway.
Nevertheless, the specified couple of hours have nearly passed before the X5 follows the sounds of a game he's observed but never played - he understands it's all geometry and precision and he guesses he'd be sufficient at it if he opted to try, but he prefers chess - to the room in question. He's silent in his approach, attempting to observe if anyone is currently keeping her company as requested before he'll come closer than lingering quietly in the hallway.
Not that there's really anywhere out here for him to hide once he's in sight of the doorway, of course.]
