um... Do you have a coin?

[deconflagration]

Sure. Hang on.

[ He gets off the bed, moving to his night stand. After pulling open the drawer, he removes a gold coin from a red pouch, shuts the drawer and climbs back onto the bed, this time resting on his stomach. He holds up the coin to her, long and rectangular with a slit running along its body. One side has the Fire Nation insignia and the reverse side just has writing. ]

Here.

[hairraisingly]

[ She smiles and takes the coin from him. ] Okay do you want heads or... well Fire or writing?

[deconflagration]

I'll take the writing side.

[hairraisingly]

Okay. I'm gonna flip the coin now.

[ She tosses it into the air and instead it lands on the floor. ]

Whoops...

[deconflagration]

[ Peering over the edge at it. ]

Looks like writing.

[hairraisingly]

I guess you get to go first then.

[ She gives him a playful smile. ]

[deconflagration]

Okay....

[ Intense stare at his cards as he considers. ]

Do you have any 7s?

[hairraisingly]

[ She looks down at her hand and pouts a little pushing out 1 seven. ]

Here you go.

[deconflagration]

[ He seems surprised, but deposits his three 7s along with hers to the side nonetheless. ]

Okay... any 4s?

[hairraisingly]

[ She pouts again and hands over one 4 this time. ]

You're really good at this game, Zuko

[deconflagration]

I'm... surprisingly lucky. Uh... any 6s?

[hairraisingly]

[ She stares at him. How is he so good? Does he have like x-ray vision? So not cool!

She holds out her 6 with a pout. ]

[deconflagration]

[ Oh. Takes. ]

...I don't have any other cards left to ask for, so I guess I'm going fishing.

[ Draws a caaard. ]

[hairraisingly]

[ She giggles a little and looks back down at her hand and strokes her chin. ]

Do you got any 2's?

[deconflagration]

[ Sliding over his two 2s. He was worried she was going to lose immediately, and that's not exactly a good way to make her feel better. ]

There you go.

[hairraisingly]

[ She smiles brightly and puts the 2's into her hand. ] Why thank you, sir.

Do you... have any 5's?

[deconflagration]

[ Good. Looks like he got away with that. ]

Sorry. Go fish.

[hairraisingly]

[ She laughs and picks up another card. She gives it a silly face and then looks back at him. ]

Okay, your turn, Zuko.

[deconflagration]

[ He doesn't exactly have a variety to choose from. ]

6?

[hairraisingly]

[ She shakes her head with a smile. ]

Go fish, Zuko.

[deconflagration]

[ Fishes. It's amazing. Neither of them are being super-competitive for once. ]

[hairraisingly]

[ She drums her fingers on the cards for a moment and then looks back up. ]

Do you got any 4's?

[deconflagration]

[ Sliding her his two 4s. ]

I do.

[hairraisingly]

[ She makes a happy noise and stuffs them into her little deck that's forming. ]

Do you got any of those A's?
