Vexin's face-up card was a king, and the one face down was an ace, so...he had won the game. Electa had also decided that the M&M's would also be breakfast because she was starving. So she was eating some.

He tilted his head, thinking maybe he'd done something wrong. He didn't usually win games right off the bat. Or at least that's what he was always told.

"All right, you flip your card, and then I'll flip mine, and whoever's closest to twenty-one wins."

He nodded, very gently flipping his card.

Electa groaned, laughing, as she saw that it was an ace

He mainly was worried about the groaning part, confused on why there was a laugh with it but he didn't mind the laugh. He thought her laugh was quite nice.

"Oh man, you asked for it. What you win is me taking my gloves off and wiping the floor with you." Scraping the cards toward her, Electa shuffled the deck again and slapped it in front of Vexin. "Your deal. Though I'm not really sure why I keep putting myself through this with you."

His expression was confused but also had a small smile.

They played for hours, Electa sometimes stopping to talk. She told him about her secret love of astronomy, and how in the camp she used to lie on the desert ground at night and stare up at the stars. After a while, she heated up a couple of cans of chili for lunch, eating straight from the can with a metal camping fork.

He was fascinated that she liked astronomy, he had found it a curious topic but he was mostly interested in black holes and the forming, life and death of stars and such. Pretty much the same thing but more in the physics system. He was very polite as he as well ate from his own can. He was quite neat, not a brute of a boy like those on his soccer team. He strangely wasn't a jock despite how he looked.
