Zadkiel had gone quiet. What did it mean? Likely, Ganesh thought, being an ace hadn't gone over well.
"What's it like?" he asked instead, switching the subject. "Your ace? I mean, what does it do?" Ganesh paused, realizing that he'd blurted out another personal question and matched it with something else of his own. "I wonder because with two parents that are jokers, well, whether or not you want it to, the wild card changes things. Maybe... it doesn't, for an ace, but I think that there were times it was hard for them. Very hard for my father." His gaze turned thoughtful as he said the last sentence, waiting for Zadkiel's response.
