Lula
"Hm, can see that as well"

*Once the topic of him being a refuge, markus would look a bit down quickly, though tries to remain positive, with him being thankful that he can let off things like tales from his world, though he may simply focus on the game as he looks at his hand.*

"I thank you for the option, though i might want to try and keep my head in the game. So, would be got any 8's for how you call them?"
Rachel
Haza would occasionally glance down the alleyway that Markus had come from. Wanting to be a gracious host for a game, he was going to at least keep his guard up in case any monsters showed up.

"Nice guess. I'm a bit surprised neither of us seemed to have gotten any pairs off our initial hands. Those are some funny odds."

He'd say, pulling the card from his hand and passing it to Markus,

"Got a six?"
Lula
*With the calling for the 6, he would hand him his, with mark trying to keep a solid face through it all to not hint at what he has.*

"I mean, with the games purpose and this hand im not sure... Though got any... Hm."

*Before saying what he would ask, he would think about what he has in his hand to try and ask accordingly, with this most likely being risking though an attempt.*

"As i was saying, any 5's?"
Rachel
Passing a 5 to Markus, Haza had a feeling that he was gonna end up losing this one. That didn't stop him from smiling, though,

"Well, that's the fun of games like this to me. The odds aren't ever what you really think. Some say I'm just addicted to gambling, maybe that's true."

He"D chuckle to himself as he didn't seem to be paying attention to Markus' poker face at all.

"I doubt you got this, but any aces?"
Lula
*When asked for aces, mark would look at his hand, sadly not seeing any, with him then shaking his head in response.*

"No, sadly."

*As his turn starts, he would then set down a pair of 5's from his hand, hoping he is doing this right since we was waiting until his turn to lay the pair, though hopefully this working again.*

"Once again, any eights?"
Rachel
He'd draw a card from a deck, seeming unaffected by the incorrect guess, but upon hearing Markus' next guess, he'd snicker and hand him the card,

"Just drew it. Got a jack?"
Lula
*When he would get asked the jack, he would look down at his hand and give him the jack, as he would set down his pair of 8's left, seeing his hand being empty after that.*

"Huh, guess im out."

*After saying that, he would reach his hand out for a handshake, hopefully to comemerate the game.*

"Good game there"
Rachel
Seeing as Markus had run out of cards, Haza would chuckle and have the cards all float up to begin reshuffling as he shook hands.

"Yeah, seems like the cards were on your side. You don't mind me asking a question or two, do you? I'm a bit curious about a couple things I've seen around town."
Lula
*After the hand shake, he would then be asked about being given a question or 2, with him thinking it shouldnt hurt, as he would lean forward to liston closely.*

"Sure thing, go ahead and ask."

*Once spoken, he would then look around, making sure no heartless were around, with him seeing none so waiting for the questions*
Rachel
"What even are those freakbeasts that crawl around? They don't seem to have much of a mind of their own aside from just attacking things."

He'd question, mostly about the heartless. He had figured Markus would know a bit more since he at least seemed familiar with the creatures, so maybe he could shed some light on just what they were and why they were even in his hometown.
Lula
"Well... I can share what i know about them, though it may be much. From what im told, their known as 'heartless', being who dont have hearts like you or me. They seem to attack worlds and destroy them... Like they did mine."

*After saying that, he would then be think about what else is needed to know about them, with him putting a figure on his face while in thought.8
Rachel
Haza's eyes would have a cautious stare as Markus would explain what the creatures were. Heartless... Not having hearts... Okay, sounds mostly like a metaphor or something, maybe some strange poetry. Then, his eyes would widen as he heard they could destroy worlds... That they destroyed *His* World.

"That's... Shit, that's not good. I... Need to train a bit, then. Gotta be able to take these things out on sight."
