w0 curfew: banned from the outhouse AND the curfew channel

[ idk she is here hanging out with aventurine, not suspecting they're getting locked in.

wonders if we get a curfew comment this game or not ]

I would've picked a quieter spot had I known.

All your skill with odds and chance aside, it's not as if you could've known.

Does it usually get this crowded?

The cabin is usually full but not this full.... This is a bit unusual, but there could be worse company.

[ SO true, queen. ]

Well, we can table our discussion about yesterday for another time.

But I was looking forward to it....

[ she pouts a little. blink and you miss it. ]

I understand. There is a little less privacy than expected.

We could talk about what you've been up to instead.

[ Please... Some distraction... ]

Oh, nothing quite as exciting or interesting as you've been up to.

[ .... ]

Mr. Aventurine, do you know if someone from the barn stole stuffing from a pillow in here?

[ HUH ]

Just the stuffing?

Just the stuffing. And replaced it with hay.

[ HELLO? ]

Oh, that's very incriminating. [ This is killing him. ] Well, it wasn't me.

It is. I believe you'd take the whole pillow.

And more if I was such a thief.

You'd rob everyone blind before one your chips could hit the ground.

Only in a fair game, Miss Robin. I want my opponents on equal footing.

How magnanimous of you, Mister Aventurine.

[ she smiles. ]

Let's play a fair game sometime.

[ AFTER FINDING OUT THEY ARE LOCKED IN ]

... I should have brought that deck of cards with me.

[ she is worried about this locked in business, but she can pretend enough.... ]

... You should ask for one that isn't stained.

[ Slight pause. ]

... I've already asked for a lot.

[ Like... A LOT. ]

... I am not all that surprised, but somehow....

What all have you asked for? Whisper it to me?

[ WHISPERS IT TO HER ]

Oh. Those are quite important.

[ she smiles a little before she leans forward and whispers to him. ]

I asked for two of those things too!

[ AND HAD TO SACRIFICE THEM BECAUSE HIS LIST WAS TOO LONG ]

Let's trade some stuff around.

[ she smiles. ]

I am certain we can work out a deal, Mr. Aventurine.
