Tzirret looked more confused than insulted by the notion that he would smell like a dog, but he didn't have time to respond before being hugged. The gesture caused him to half-shriek and laugh in surprise. Given how his arms were now constrained, the best he could do to return it was to pat Peiter on the arm with one hand. "Ahaha, I love you too, brother...Oooh, you have pair of queens?" Tzirret's eyes lit up at seeing Peiter's hand. He did not have the mental restraint left to keep Peiter's mistake a secret.

"I fold," Sabine said abruptly with a wide smile, failing to stifle a snort and a laugh. She had spotted Peiter's subterfuge as well, and commented to Ciinriel, "Looks like you are the only one left in this round who can keep your hand secret."
