Oh, someone else saying hello? He's about to reply to her query, but her comment has his face falling. And he came here to get away from that sort of thing, it was bad enough back home... "Do you have to?" he asks, a little sadly.

Not going to stop her poking the cards, though, just raising a hand in case she's the sort to mess with them further. "I understand. It's not for everyone... but the potential strategy and combinations of possibilities available in play intrigue me." Yep, still a dork.
