Nix stepped onto his houseboat with the intention of grabbing a nap. He muttered under his breath while walking up the steep stairs, he could hear the distinct sound of conversation coming from his bedroom.
"You dealt that off the bottom Ronnie." Sharl frowned at her turn-over card, she had just lost a King-tie.
"Oh-ho! Did I?" Ronnie grabbed another card and flipped in on the mattress.
Nix's foul mood faded when he saw who his visitors were. "Hey... Playing war?"
Ronnie nodded, "it's the only card game you know."
Sharl handed Ronnie all her cards so she could reshuffle and deal Nix in. "We'll wait, go get changed."
Nix nodded and grabbed some clothes before heading into his bathroom. Splashing cold water on his face and changing into comfortable clothes seemed to revive him. He climbed onto the bed and picked the cards he had been dealt. "Did you cheat me?"
