Have cards? Pick a partner that doesn't have them. Don't have cards? Pick a partner who does.

Ahsoka had a deck of cards, big, blue, innocent eyes, and an attitude picked up from certain people whose names rhymed with Manakin and Hobi-Wan that anything short of mind-tricks or trying to read thoughts wasn't cheating.

Well, this was going to be a disaster.

Mara, bright, guileless green eyes unnaturally wide, sat down. "So I have no idea how this'll work."

Because she would also cheat like a cheating cheater.

Ahsoka tended to be competitive even with people she liked.

Mara, she did not like.

"I guess we'll find that out together," she said with the cheerful, mindless, utterly fake grin she'd learnt from watching Padme and Riyo.

This much fake sincerity was going to give Atton a headache.

"Yay!" Mara said, smiling back hard enough to make her mouth ache. "Would you like to deal?"

"I can do that, though I'm not that great at it."

There was a reason shinies in the 501st hadn't been allowed to play with her without Rex there to protect them.

There was a slight narrowing of the eyes as game recognized game. No one could be that bad at dealing cards.

"Well, give it your best try," Mara said with another smile. "Can you count all the way to seven?"

Dealing, no, shuffling, yes. It wouldn't do to have the cards insufficiently mixed up.

"Without even using my fingers." Ahsoka's tone in no way implied she thought Mara would to get that high, really.

"I'll be sure to add that to my very next transmission home!"

That was vaguely xenophobic, Mara.

Mara was already living down to Ahsoka's expectations.

"You must be very sheltered if that's news to you."

Ahsoka, no, be the bigger person.

"Oh, I just don't spend much time around non-humans," Mara said sweetly, "so I'm learning a lot watching you!"

"Well living like that does lead to all kinds of mistaken assumptions."

Was it hard being wrong all the time, Mara?

"I haven't really noticed many," Mara said, reaching for her cards.

"Some people don't," Ahsoka said brightly.

For example, small minded Imperials.

Mara's smile was far more toothy than necessary. "Do you have any eights?"

AAhsoka responded with a small, sharp predator's smile. "Go fish."
