Aurel leaned slightly away as Geralt nudged him, though it wasn't such a large distance that it would be extremely noticeable to everyone. It was mostly out of surprise, since he wasn't quite used to the man just yet, but it didn't take long for him to readjust again.

[color=#a7d3d4]"Yes, they are."[/color] He agreed. There was no denying that. Despite how hard it was for them to catch certain things at time, Aurel couldn't deny that over the years, both women had displayed large amounts of wisdom, even if they didn't appear to at first glance. 

[color=rosybrown]"Oh, I see."[/color] She responded. There was a very small amount of disappointment in her voice, but it went as quick as it came. It would have been nice to meet someone who might have lived just as long, but it wasn't that big of a deal. [color=rosybrown]"Well if you've lost count, then it must have been a good amount of years right? Is it fun?"[/color] She asked. Surely if one dedicated so much time to something like that, then it was because they were enjoying themselves? Based on what she hard heard in regards to his first show, it sounded like it had been very fun. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"I think you playing can make things interesting, certainly more challenging for some. We're supposed to be learning to have better pokerfaces."[/color] Aurel spoke up as he reached over to take a card from Akane, but was disappointed to not find a pair. It seemed Geralt was quite confidence despite being at least a little aware of what Illy could do. It would be nice if she was able to beat him.
