. . . no. Not tonight.

[She finally meets his gaze.]

I was simply curious, that's all. Speaking more of in the hypothetical, not . . . not anything that we ought to do tonight.

Mm. I see. But I still think we should play rummy — for bragging rights, if nothing else, and with a side of comfort food to accompany it while we do.

[Her face looks so wrong with gray eyes. It's such a slight and inconsequential change, except that somehow it still manages to change everything.]

[originallutece]

All right. Though I hope you're not preparing yourself to brag; I'm very good at this game, Fawkes.

[A few seconds pass, and she smiles again: tiredly, yes, but fondly.]

Simply because you beat me in video games is no indication of how you'll fare now.

What fun would a game be if I weren't playing to try to topple a worthy opponent?

I'm looking forward to matching wits with you.
