The sign on Fight Club's door says CLOSED and it is closed until seven, like it is most nights. The door is locked. But if Claude peers through the window, past the painted logo and illustrations of Fighting-type pokemon that covers so much of it, he'll be able to see the unreasonably tall shape of Thace sitting in a booth at the back, as well as Steven walking towards the door, so that he can let him in.
"Right," Steven says, as he ushers Claude through the door. "I've got a couple of takeout menus we can order from. I figured that would be the better choice, rather than us making you anything."
Thace might think Claude had the potential to be an ally, despite everything, but Steven wasn't so sure about that.
