Jaina. At a booth with a chocolate milkshake and a deck of sabacc cards that she's currently shuffling.

Do come say hi. Mun appreciates distractions from essay writing.

She shakes her head, discussions with Mara and Aeryn drifting through. "Things don't last forever."

"They should." Sam says firmly. "Some things should."

"We hope it will."

"Then work for it to." Sam nods. "And it'll all be good."

She pokes her finger in the potatoes. "So. Not an argument about love, now?"

"We intend to."

After all, she likes being in love with him. Jaina picks up the sabacc deck and starts to shuffle it again. "Care for a game?"

"Uh, don't know how." Sam says, eyeing the cards with interest. "Sabacc, right?"

Jaina nods. "We can teach you."

"Okay then. Let's play."

"Alright."

For great Millitime abuse, Jaina takes the bowl of candy from her game with Tahiri and places it back in the center of the table, dividing the M&Ms and Reece's among the two.

"Going to deal five cards. Then, we'll place bets in here," Jaina explains, nodding to the empty bowl.

"You can discard up to three cards, and then we'll bet again. Randomization can occur. Object's to either get as close to a 23, positive or negative, as possible. Pure sabacc's 23 or Idiot's array."

Sam nods. "Okay. I think I'm going to lose. But hit me."

Jaina looks confused at the termology, but dismisses it. And deals five cards each.

"Place your bet, Sam."

"Hmm." She takes two pieces of candy and puts them in the center of the table, really having no idea what she's doing. But hey! She's having fun!

"You can bet more than that." Jaina smiles at her and matches her bet, raising it by ten.

"If you have any questions, just ask."

"Well...I seriously have no idea what to do, other than bet. And see if my cards are close to 23. But that's fine. Your silly games are no match for my earth games!" Sam says, laughing. She puts ten more candies on the table.

"We've played poker before. Sabacc's definately the better game."

Jaina discards a card from her deck and waits for Sam to do the same.

"Yes, but have you played Candyland? Or Monopoly?" Sam asks, doing the same as Jaina.

She shakes her head. "Never heard of them, actually."

And then deals new cards to each of them.

Sam takes it and adds it to her pile. Defintely no where near a 23. "Well, we should play them sometime."

"Are they card games?"

Jaina grins as one of her cards suddenly changes to an Idiot card.

"No. Board games." Sam glances at her. "You're winning, aren't you?"

Jaina chuckles. "It's the Solo luck. Why Zekk's not down here playing with us."

"Well I might follow his example next time." Sam grins. "Blah."

"Hey! We need someone to play against."

"Uhm. I'll get you Andrew. Or Arthur. Or Fen or Tony or Mel or someone." Sam grins again.

"Hmm. We know Tony. Wonder if he'd be interested in a game sometimes." Jaina smiles and throws a couple of candies in the pot.
