But Esteban is listening to his friend, is trying to put his terms into something that he can associate with, or understand. In some ways, he guesses it's a bit like trying to keep a secret, not by telling lies, but by circumventing the truth-- a skill Esteban has a bit more experience in than he really wants to admit to, to be honest. It pulls his lips into a careless, reckless smile, even though he knows he's probably about to get absolutely trounced, when he offers.
"Then I guess I should try an' win 'gainst you, since I always have fun when you're around~" Not that he has cards. Or that he's sure they even have the same games. The SCA translates their words after all; but maybe his version of the game is very, very different than Allen's.
(He's still willing to try at least! But he seriously hopes Allen won't want to wager onto anything serious.)
