Where Api had to learn the rules, Durand knew them by heart. He was set up at his table at his hive and grinned at the trolls across from him, the dealer.
"The game is poker, my fellow trolls," they yellowblood said casually, shuffling the cards with skill. He wasn't even looking down at his hands as he made sure that the cards would truly be randomized. "I'm Durand, I'll be the dealer. Once you have nothing to offer, get out. I've got no time for you. If you don't like me, leave." He winked a little and started to deal the cards, including himself.
"Now, let's take a little time to ask questions. First round could be learning."
nepsah (It's fine! I like the start.)

When the other yellowblood seemed to ante up, Durand smirked to himself and then looked down at his hand when all the cards were dealt. With quick, practiced movements, he put the cards in some kind of order only known to him and then glanced up at the sudden question about meanings to the cards.
"Okay, good question. First round, no bets guys. We gotta teach someone." It wasn't said with malice or anything, and Durand leaned across the table to push the other's cards down on the table so he could see what they were.
"Do you know what a royal flush is? A straight? Full house, flush? Four and three of a kind is pretty self explanatory. You have that many of the same card. Can be any card. A straight, my friend, is pretty easy to understand. Five cards in numerical order, all in the same suit. The best possible flush to have is a royal flush, starting with an ace, then going king, queen, jack, and ten of all the same suit." He looked at the other's face to see if they understood what he was talking about. "A full house is any three cards of the same number, or face value, meaning kings and queens, plus any two cards of the same number or face value. An example is... three tens, and two twos. That's a full house."
He paused again, grinning like he was being helpful. "Got it?"
