[Me googling what card games they had in the 1890s.]
Hmm... I think I am most familiar with Whist, Draw Poker, and Euchre.

[ me, unfamiliar with all of these. ]
Whist might be hard with just two, but we can play Draw Poker or Euchre. Or I can teach you a different game, if you want.

If you would prefer to teach me a game, I am amenable.

It's like old maid.

[The wikipedia article literally says it's a victorian cardgame right off so yeah. Now he is suspicious he's being attacked.]
And what is the difference?

Instead of adding a joker, or removing a queen so that the one left is the 'old maid' - in old geezer we remove a random card!

[I feel like Rika just made this game up!]
I see. That does introduce a new level of challenge, because you won't know what's the odd card out.

Exactly! But the rest of the rules stay the same.

I'm going easy on you, because these cards aren't mine.

[I rolled a 5 so time to get destroyed in cards by an 11 year old.]
You needn't do such a thing. I don't mind losing to a fair opponent.

It'll be easier to know how to feel when we know more about what happened...
So for now... I don't know.

[He sighs. Draws a card from her hand.]
That is true. In some ways the longer this goes on the more I'd rather have bad news than no news.

It's hard to fight back when you don't know what you're fighting back against. At least bad news would be the truth.

[Oh good for her. He draws another card, still fails to make a new pair.]
Precisely. In all things, we should strive towards the truth, even if it is difficult.
