"Oh, finally!" Says Kate, as she's the clear winner of a very quick round. And it looks like Rachel is finally starting to run out of luck, as even you managed to beat her with your lucky three of sevens.
"I should've called it right away..." Your housemate admits, as she didn't drop out until after the first raise, which means that she'll be owing two questions to the winner. That makes you ponder for a moment why you only got one to answer last round, but then they did say you'd start after the first raise...
"So... What's your favourite colour then?" Kate asks her, with narrowed eyes and a very serious smile on her lips. Apparently there's a little more to these questions than it seems, as Rachel too has that look on her face and she thinks hard for a moment before giving her answer. Hopefully they're not expecting you to be playing it quite as informally, though you must agree it puts another depth in the game.
"I'd say red..." Rachel finally gives her reply, with the look of one who just bailed out on something. Then she acts like nothing however, and just brush her fingers through her lovely hair. "I've been thinking of dying it lately. Do you think it would suit me...?"
"Yeah, I think it would!" Kate smiles back at her, but it seems like she's not entirely content with the answer. You're not sure what she'd expected, but you can't stop thinking that the question was actually about something else entirely. "So... What's your favourite animal then?"
"Oh, c'mon!" Rachel just laughs at her, though you can tell it's not just because of the simplicity of the question. And there's an obvious ulterior reason to her answer, that even you think you can be able and interpret - especially as it's causing another slight blush to reappear on Kate's pale cheeks. "You know I'd always loved to have a little kitten around!"
"Well, fine..." The blonde mumbles as it's her turn to deal the cards, and you notice how both girls are giving you a quick and curious glance while she's starting to shuffle. They both seem to be thinking that they're rather clever right now, and you decide it's probably best to keep your theories to yourself about their fuzzy little word-game...
