[The Guide flickers at an angle that suggests it had been placed on the ground near a bedpost. We see Ruki sitting with one leg hanging off the edge of the mattress, dressed in her pajamas--a white tank top and dark blue pajama pants--with her hair down. Across from her is Juri, sitting cross-legged and with a look of extreme concentration on her face. Juri is also in her pajamas and also free of her usual partial-ponytail.]
Okay...what about this one?
[A card is placed down, with another being switched to a separate pile.]
[Snickering]
Nice try, Juri, but I knew you were gonna do that.
[Another card is placed down, followed by the creacking of the bed as Ruki leans back with a triumphant smirk.]
I win.
[A sigh.]
Oh. I really thought I had you that time!
You're getting better. A lot better. I actually had to pull out a few special moves to keep you from winning. Haven't used those since...
[Ruki trails off, but not from nostalgia. In fact, the memory seems to even annoy her.]
Missing someone?
*a little too quickly* Not him, that's for sure.
What about the others?
...yeah...a bit.
[The sound of shuffling cards as they clean up their latest game.]
Ruki?
Hmm?
...I'm glad you're here.
[The two girls share a breif smile, before Ruki begins expertly shuffling their decks by means of initating a new game...just as the Guide decides it's bored of eavesdropping on them and shuts itself off.]
((ooc: Late-night "girl" time for Juri and Ruki.))
