Neal nods a little absently, taking Norton's hands in his and giving them a squeeze before he moves toward the kitchen to start coffee and work himself up to calling Peter.

"Keller and I used to play chess together." A pause. "He was better than me."

It's not something Neal would ever say to Peter, to pretty much anyone here, even Mozzie. Norton is safe to tell. It doesn't harm his reputation and he doesn't think it will make the man think less of him.
