Tsunade drops into an empty chair, tossing her contribution to the food onto the table and eying the glowing cards. Even without the cheaters she wasn't the best at gambling, but this did not bode well.

Not that it will dissuade her any.

The roadie gets a friendly smile. "Enjoying the married life?"

She gives Tyki a nod. "How's that itching problem?"

"Hey, Tsunade." Alfred waves as he walks-- slowly, for him-- into the room. There's a weak little smile on his face, and he looks tired, but at least he's out.

And hell. He's awesome at poker. (England and Canada and France and Monaco just always beat him through cheating and being generally lame. It's not his fault even Lithuania can beat him at most poker games.)

[slug_sannin]

"Hey, Alfred. Bringing some more goods to the table for me to win?"

Since she's clearly going to win, with her luck and surrounded by top class cheaters. She'll just crack open a beer and shove out a chair for the other blond to have.

[empyreanistic]

Laughing, Alfred sits down in the chair and tosses a bunch of sodas on the table. "Oh yeah, 'cause you're gonna win so hard. These and whatever you have are mine."

Eddie offers up a friendly wave back in Tsunade's direction, "S'bout the same as before, nothin' too big to report," Is his response as he fiddles with the cards he has, green glow aside, he has one shitty hand, not that he really minds. He glances back down at them with a wrinkle of his nose as he adds on.

"Well, asides gettin' used to the combined last names thing, that was a little odd at first."

[slug_sannin]

"I figured as much. Congratulations, by the way. In case Sasha didn't carry the message."

Her cards are probably worse than his, and she makes a face at them. Not even really a point in bluffing with a single ten as a hand.

"I like the combined last names. It doesn't make one person change to match the other."

[kingroadie]

"He did, still nice to hear again," He's just giving up on his hand, just rearranging the cards in his hand to ACT like he's doing something very legit instead of piddling his time away until he draws again.

"S'why we picked that- sides the fact I sorta gave Deathbringer that name 'fore we got super serious or had five million kids," Needlessly to say, Sasha was not amused by that fact.

[slug_sannin]

"I don't know how the two of you do it. Watching that many kids."

Who needs a good hand when you've got good alcohol? And those chips that she liked. Tsunade helped herself to another drink and a handful of chips. It was something she wondered about, how Sasha and Eddie even managed to keep a lid on the chaos that was their suite.

[kingroadie]

"They mostly handle themselves, so we don't do too much," Beyond wipe away tears, clean up messes and let children ride on shoulders. Eddie's taking a sip from his own beer, he relaxing back into his chair more or less ignoring his card as he talks with the medic ninja.

"Two of them are almost teenagers after all, so we give them free reign, long as they don't do black romance shit all over the suite,"

[slug_sannin]

"I'm really glad I had the basics of that troll romance thing explained to me. Finally." Otherwise that would have been a very bizarre and possibly disturbing statement to hear.

"Still, have to hand it to the both of you for taking them on. It's the ones mostly watching out for themselves that I would worry the most about. Not that I approve of Sasha's approach to vetting potential boyfriends. Did you hear he sent that to Harry, as well?"

[kingroadie]

"Even when explained, that shit is confusin'. Hell I was a troll for a week an I still don't get it." Eddie would always stand by that. Troll Romance, what do.

"True enough- Sollux has gotten himself killed by Eridan before, blackrom shit," He's shaking his head little at that since shh, don't tell anybody, but he's protective of his 'son'. The second part of Tsunade's sentence finally registered and warranted a amused snort. "...Seriously?" Welp, here is obvious amusement on Eddie's features. "Harry didn't fill it out did he? Cause shit- Sasha ain't serious about that paperwork."

[slug_sannin]

"Makes me glad I was a Psychonaut that week. Just made me better about dusting things in my mind." Being a troll for a week? Just thinking about it threatened to knock a gasket loose in her head.

"Are you kidding? Of course he filled it out. He even requested a copy of his medical files from me. Probably doesn't help his case that I have 'idiot' written in bright red across the front of his file."

[kingroadie]

"Heh, wish I could've had that happen, would've made Sasha's job make a lot more sense to me." It just makes Eddie glad his troll based memories are faint.

"I hope you two know, Sasha just was fuckin' with both of you." As far as Eddie knew, Sasha had never intended the paperwork to be anything remotely serious. "He only was jokin' with Damian, probably the same for Harry too."

[slug_sannin]

"It makes more sense in a way, but it also sounds even damn weirder when you learn about that world in general. Deathbringer is normal in that world." Don't get her wrong, the cub is cute, but that just is not normal.

Tsunade shrugs, tossing her failed hand into the middle so she can be dealt in again. "Harry suspected as such, but had something about wanting to make sure my best friend knew he was serious about this."

[kingroadie]

"Somehow I'm not really surprised, with what Sasha has told me. Shit is crazy in his world," Eddie lives with Deathbringer, he brought the cougar home. He knows it is a little borked.

Eddie has to give a small snort, "Just wasted a lot of paper- but at least for a good thing,"

[slug_sannin]

"Makes my world feel downright normal."

"Complete waste of paper, but I wasn't going to argue with him over it." She pops open another beer and offers another to Eddie.
