Cards

“Aesop, can we go to bed soon? I’m getting sort of tired.”

“But that’s too boring! No, I wanna keep playing cards.”

“We can play cards any other day! Why’s it gotta be right now? I’m terrible at this game, and you know it-”

“Vulpis, I’m not tired.”

“I… I know you’re not tired. But I’m just getting really sick of this, and we have all the time in the world to play cards tomorrow, and I’m not sure how much longer I can stay awake-”

“You’ll be fine. You wanna split the deck, or should I?”

“... You can do it, I don’t really care.”
