Mirai has close to her normal level of self-esteem and functionality back, enough of it to go down to the bar by herself. It's ultimately not much of a change from what she was doing in her room. She tucks herself in a secluded booth, buries herself in a blanket, and picks at a plate of nachos.

Bringing more nachos would be nice.

He hands over the card with care. He shuffles what's in his hand. "Do you have a..." He draws on the table top, "A four?"

[halfemptyglasses]

Mirai tucks the card into her hand, examining it before saying, "Go Fish."

[intoaman]

"So I take one from the pile?" He picks one up and looks at it, taking a moment to puzzle out the number before tucking it in his hand.

[halfemptyglasses]

"Yes. And if you have all four cards with the same number on them, you can put them in your stack."

[intoaman]

"Oh. Not yet but maybe I can find another one."

They keep playing for a while, Diaval smiling brightly when he finally gets a set of four.

"Good job!" Mirai cheers him on. "And we keep playing until all the cards have been matched up."

[intoaman]

"Okay. I can do that." He keeps playing, stumbling over some of the numbers but getting there in the end.

"I have..." He counts his piles, "four piles. That means you win, right?"

[halfemptyglasses]

She nods. "It was fun playing with you, though. And you picked it up fast. Thank you for asking to play."

She offers her hand to shake. And then, realizing that he might not know what she's doing, she goes, "Ah, when the game is over, it's nice to shake hands with the person you're playing with and say, 'Good game.' So that they know you had a good time with them."

[intoaman]

He nods and holds out his hand. "Good game, thank you."

[halfemptyglasses]

She takes his hand in hers and gently shakes. "Good game."

[intoaman]

"Would you like some tea? The game was fun but it has made me very thirsty."

{ooc: shall we fade there? That was so sweet, thank you!}

[halfemptyglasses]

"Yeah, I think I would, too. Thank you for coming to sit with me, Diaval-san."

[ooc: Looks good to me. Thank you!]
