Kozue, meanwhile, down by where Kiriko was sitting, was entirely enthused to play. Not because she was good at it, by any means, but because she had some money, at least, to throw around, and this promised to be a funny way to spend an evening. She was here as a show of support, with a bit of curiosity, and out of the vague feeling that perhaps Kiriko would stack the cards in her own favor and Kozue could somehow benefit from this.
Kozue her own chips into the pile, not looking down at Kou but very conscious of what he'd just said. Fine.
