Having played cards (magical or not) only a handful of times in her life, the prospect of learning a new game was a welcome distraction from her otherwise overwhelming thoughts. The instructions seemed simple enough, a child's game perhaps? The game was a smart idea regardless, as they obviously both had much to learn about the other. "It sounds fun." She said as she sat in the chair most opposite the food. Silently, Melody prayed for her stomach to survive the evening without churning too much.

Despite her aversion to be involved with it, Melody thought the best way to be rid of the food was to consume it (and provide Ben the means necessary to consume his) quickly. As he dealt with setting up the game, she unpacked the food and set up dishes for them both.
