tab Khai had arrived with Ismene earlier and once they got the food and drink they wanted he'd suggested sitting. As he sat down on the couch, he had draped an arm around her shoulders. Usually in front of the students the two of them were extremely serious, sticking to the roles assigned to them. When he had gotten the invitation to come to this he wasn't sure what to expect but he was certainly curious to see what the night could bring. He wrapped his hand around his wife's shoulder for a moment before he looked around the room. There weren't that many people here, although he recognized the man who set it up as from maintenance, and there was at least two people who worked in the health office. As well as a few of his other fellow teachers. It was a shame most didn't come, but if they didn't want to make the effort, that was their loss, not his. His green eyes scanned the room and when the clinking sound of metal on glass rang through the room he looked up at the man who spoke. He tilted his head slightly as he ran his fingers softly up and down Ismene's shoulder and listened intently. He smiled and a light chuckle escaped him at his ending words. " Something like that..." he said to himself, echoing Marco's words before he continued to listen to the rules of the game.
tab His mind wandered some, he and Ismene were from Phronese, and he found himself wondering what the kingdom of Uilum held in regard to games other than this. He had read quite a bit on them, and with his power he knew all that could be read in books. He certainly had no issues learning more about the culture, and about all of the teachers present for that matter. His gaze moved from Marco to the cards on the table, as he softly tapped his finger against the glass in his hand. He spoke of warnings and the man couldn't help his soft smile as he took a drink of the wine of choice that Ismene got him. He leaned into her slightly, lowering his voice as Marco finished talking. " That sounds like fun, you want to join in?" he asked her, and as he awaited his response a voice from across the room chimed up. Khai lifted his head and looked over in the direction of where it came from. It seemed to have come from the nurse, who then in turn introduced herself.
tab " I can do that for you Marco!"
tab She seemed excitable enough, her voice bringing back some memories of the war for some reason however. He pushed the thought out of his mind as his hand continued to trace up and down his wife's arm. He felt like this could be fun to do, and if it meant getting to know people a bit better, or even making some potential friendships along the way he was all for it. He cleared his throat and spoke loud enough to be heard this time. " That all sounds like fun, perhaps we'll learn a thing or two about ourselves tonight." he sounded more excited than he really was, but he never was a card game kind of person. For the sake of getting to know other people however, he'd give it a go. He could see that a few people were a little more transparent than others, but then there were those he struggled to get a good read on. Either way, this would be interesting.

tab Gwyn had a long day setting up, stressing, and when she had gotten Marco’s invitation to a game night she was more than excited. She was excited to Manon, and Marco, although she didn’t have much communication with him. She worked hand-in-hand with his spouse, so she figured she would attend. She had showed up early to help make sure everything was set up, then lurked on the sidelines, saying hello to people as they came in. She was preoccupied when Marco started to speak, her eyes wandering to the wall as she spaced out a little bit. Her mind running to the events of the day. She still didn’t understand everything but she was glad that everyone turned out okay despite the chaos of it all.
tab Her brown eyes moved back to Marco as he spoke and she remained leaned against the wall as he spoke of leading the students and she couldn’t help her smile as she kept quiet. He had his momentary quiet as he set the deck down and she cocked her head to the side waiting, her eyes shifting over the others in the room. She noticed the couple on the couch, she hadn’t spoken to either of them but knew they were teachers. She perked up as the rules were discussed, and then he made the request to have someone cut the deck for him. She raised her hand and a wide smile spread across her face. ” I can do that for you, Marco!” as she lowered her arm she spoke again. ” Should we do introductions or just kind of roll with it?” she asked, crossing her arms gently across her chest.
tab Her eyes shifted to the man sitting on the couch and she nodded in agreement. The rules of the game sounded quite fun, it would be interesting to see who had a poker face. She had a feeling that there would be a few people who might be good at it, unfortunately she would not be one of them. She was very expressive with her face, and it was part of the reason she worked with people but it wasn’t a good trait to have if one should try to lie. She wasn’t always like this, but it had slowly happened after the war, after years of having to be stone faced and she was now allowed to be honest with herself and others. It was almost refreshing to her.
tab it was clear the woman was very excited about the night, and what was to come.
