As Noah flipped the card over, giggles burst forth from Elann at his laughter, which she stiffled with her hand over her mouth and brought the other one over the deck to await the guess he was to give.

"Yeah, I was still doing it as an adult. It was really scary sometimes. I've had a whole pride of lions come down from the plains far to the north to hunt our livestock. You have to be very quiet too or else they can see you and attack. A lot of times we would use some form of thorn to keep them away, but they are smart, they find ways around it. So I just would shoot them before it got to that point."

Noah's conversational habits would drive many a man or woman mad at times, but Elann had learned how he was since that day and really tried to be okay with it. He would slowly learn or he wouldn't, but she just knew herself and what made her feel comfortable, just as her words soothed him. One day he would see that.

She flipped the card, revealing a four. 

"I think you cheated on that one," she playfully stated with a sly grin; though the same could be said for her unbelievable guess.
