"What do you think I'd do?" she laughs.

[pandion]

"I am not sure I wanna know!"

[hold_infinity]

"Oh, probably dress up in pretty clothes. And then play strip poker."

[pandion]

"Pffff. You are way more adventurous than me."

[hold_infinity]

"I'm more adventurous than a lot of people," says Robin. "I'd say 'than most', but now I've met Trouble."

[pandion]

"Oh, if you didn't know, him and Ethan are having sex. I mean, not right now. Possibly right now actually but that's not what I meant. In case that's relevant to know."

[hold_infinity]

"Thanks," she says. "I wasn't completely sure. Although I have seen them kissing while mostly naked, so it's not a big leap."

[pandion]

"I guess it wouldn't be."

[instar]

"I take it the strip poker was fun for all."

[hold_infinity]

Robin grins. "Very."

[instar]

"We both lost embarrassingly to Trouble at the non-strip version, the day he brought us pie, even when we ganged up on him insofar as the rules of poker allow."

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah, he's pretty good," says Robin. "I'm better."

[pandion]

"Supposedly poker is a game of skill? But then I get bad cards. I'm probably missing something."

[hold_infinity]

"Oh, a lot of it is luck. But the rest is how you handle your luck," says Robin.

[pandion]

"Like how?"

[hold_infinity]

"Eh, I've tried to teach it, I get nowhere," she says.

[pandion]

"Well, I'm never betting real money against you, I guess. This is our house," she adds, pointing.

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah, I don't play for real money with people I like."

[pandion]

"Do you play poker with people you don't like much?"

[instar]

Bella unlocks the house.

[hold_infinity]

"When I want their money."

[pandion]

"Where do you find people with money who you don't like who'll play poker with you? That's kinda specific."

[hold_infinity]

"I knew some back home. Haven't found any here yet."

[pandion]

"Do people keep playing you even after you take their money?"

[hold_infinity]

"Surprisingly often, yeah."
