[birdsbirdsbirds]

Ah, flattered. I don't name inconsequential people.

[he settles on down, finally looking at their game again--oh, he rushes in to make a move. they're running low on cards.]

[payback]

[She folds her hands back to let him do the card thing. Robin can finish by himself if he wants.]

That song makes cuckoos sound scary...

[birdsbirdsbirds]

They are, a little...

[oh man look at him, he'll do the thing... he'll set those cards down. there's just a couple more in their deck, and then... they just need to be put on the ace piles...]

[payback]

Do you think I'm scary?

[She watches this happen... and then raises her hands. Clap, clap. You did it, Robin. You won solitaire.]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

A little...

[oh. ...huh. he leans back.]

Did I do it? Is this how the game ends?

[payback]

[She makes a tiny face. Why would anyone think she was scary? No entiende...]

You did it. You won. That's it.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Hey, nice! [all right! he grins. forget everything he was just saying--holds his hand up for a high-five!]

[payback]

[She looks at him, mouth and eyes softening with amusement, raises her hand and give him a high five as bid.]

You understand the game now?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Yeah, I think so. Seems easy enough.

[stretching and leaning back...]

Not a bad way to pass time.

[payback]

Yeah...

[She starts patting the cards back into one deck again.]

I lived in a boarding house in the Port for a while. That's where I learned all these. We played all kinds of games there.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Not bad. [he just. watches her.] Show me another one sometimes?

[payback]

Sure... we can teach Nel or something.

[She smiles a little. Ah, memories...]

Most of them are the most fun with at least three people.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Good. The more the merrier...

[he smiles at her for... just a moment longer than he needs to, before he remembers something--]

Oh, hey, I was going to ask you about those tallbirds!

[payback]

Yeah?

[Doop doop the cards are collected and slid back into their box. Game all gone. She taps the box and then closes it, blinking at him.]

What about them?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Have you seen them yet? [this face.] Aren't they ridiculous?
