A game of poker it is

It's almost an hour later, and you're quite glad that you decided on a game of poker after all. Even Kate seems a lot more relaxed now, with a couple of beers under the belt, and the same goes for the rest of you.

"So, what were we playing about again?" Rachel is just asking, with a smug smile on her pretty face, while she's placing yet another full house on the table in reply to your call.

"I'm quite sure we didn't agree on anything." You tell her, and you're certainly glad that you didn't - as she's practically been winning every single game so far. In fact, the question never came up in the first place, and you're quite sure it had something to do with Kate's little outburst before you even got started.

"How much for a flush again...?" The blonde wonders, and even looks a bit hopeful when she puts her cards on the table. "I've got to win this sometime, right?"

"You're not fooling anyone!" Rachel just snorts at her, but then you see her smiling again as she pushes the pile of cards into your direction. "Unless you're trying to pull one on this one, that is?"

"It's not my fault I got a bad memory!" Kate objects, though once again you notice that certain smile shining through on her face. Perhaps she's not that different from Rachel after all, you decide, and your starting to worry that she's actually got as good of a poker face as your housemate is trying to suggest. "You're bound to run out of luck at some point, you know!"

"Well, if it was only about luck..." Rachel just winks at her, and then they both glance at eachother while picking up the cards that you've dealt them. "Though I guess someone's just completely out of it tonight...?"

"I'm just lulling you into a false sense of security here." You say to her, though you'll have to admit it couldn't have been too hard to read your face on this draw. The one pair of three's would mostly seem like they're just there to embarrass you. "Just you wait for it..."

"And we're still not playing about anything...?" She asks, while drawing two new ones, and then stifles a giggle. "I raise the stakes, and say we should play about thoughts!"

"Better than clothes at least..." You hear Kate mumbling to herself, though she pretends like nothing when she realize that you must've heard her. "I raise as well. What kind of thoughts...?"

"I'm not quite in on this one." You decide, but wait with putting down your hand. "What's this about thoughts anyhow?"

"One thought for every game and raise." Rachel says, as if that would explain everything to someone who's still not sure of what they mean. "Or we could just make it simple, and say one question answered? And don't worry, we can start after this raise if you like!"

"Doesn't sound too bad..." You admit, even as you hesitate, and then take another quick glance at your cards. "Well, I could even answer one myself right away, and we've got that over with."

"So you're staying in then?" She wonders, and she's even looking a bit surprised. Her eyes goes to her hand as well, and then back up at you. There's a very slight frown passing across her face then, that you've managed to read by now, and you must say that you quite enjoy when she's got an expression like that. If nothing else, it would at least mean that you've managed to upset her plans a bit. "I'd have to raise one more then..."
