It bubbled free before she could hope to stop it, absolutely delighted by the bold honesty of the salarian. He was mischievous and sharp, qualities that may not come as a surprise to anyone else, but out of all of the salarians Samantha has ever met, Jackiro was certainly the most entertaining. The fact that he planned to try and get a leg up over the flirtatious turian amused her to no end. There was no way she was going to miss out on that evening, even if all she ended up doing was sitting off to the side to listen to their banter. “Your secret is safe with me, Jackiro. I’ll let everyone else know that you’re a fiend with cards on their own.”<br/><br/>Then, as he exposed the grand sum of his hand, Samantha rested her chin in the palm of her hand and casually flipped hers over to expose what she drew; Four of spades, Ten of diamonds, and an Eight of Diamonds. “Twenty-two. Yet another bust. Looks like if I settled with my fourteen earlier it would have been a loss either way.”<br/><br/>She wasn’t bothered with losing, and happily returned her cards to the deck without so much as a wilting smile. “This was fun, Jackiro, thank you for the distraction. Let’s do this again sometime when it’s not an obscene hour. It’ll be fun to see how straight you play once you’ve had a few drinks warming that gullet.” With a reluctant sigh, but admittedly feeling much better and more relaxed, Sam regrettably rose to her feet with a pop of her neck and a glorious stretch of her limbs. “I better be off and get some sleep. Don’t be a stranger, Jacki.” And with a friendly wave of goodbye, the doctor scooted in her chair, and proceeded to leave the commons in search of her bunk.<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"> ***   End Scene   ***</div>
