Yua's face, on the other hand, doesn't betray anything at all, her poker face practiced to an absurd degree. Reaching into her jacket to pull out a small box, she opens it to reveal a set of chips, and divides them between the two of them, giving each of them around an imaginary thousand dollar's worth. "They're not stakes, but it isn't poker without raising and calling. I raise by 200." And the chips are pushed to the center.Kyle scratches his neck. He should probably do something other than what he should do but it's not like there's any actual money in it. So, he calls.
As Yua opens the box that contains her own lunch, she lets out a brief "Hmm," and the edges of her lips quirk slightly upwards -- it is what passes for an expression lf amusement for her, and somewhat difficult to draw from her in the first place. "Alright. No stakes it is." She adjusts the deck to be exactly between them, takes a chopstick grasp full of rice, and then looks at Kyle. "I brought the deck, so you can deal first for fairness. Let's go."Kyle nods and takes the deck, dealing out the hands before pausing to take a bit of his lunch. Yua would note that she has quite the strong starting hand while Kyle... Well he just kind of gives his hand a disappointed look like he expected better from it.
Once she makes it up to the roof, she waits for Kyle, having placed the deck of cards a foot in front of her, and when the American boy arrives she asks simply, "Any stakes today?"Kyle shakes his head as he unpacks his lunch and sets it to the side.
