Cyno is wordlessly on his way to report this blasphemy to Lord Kusanali.
"Just saying that cheating in TCG is encouraged if you're trying to get out of the game sooner. Or throw it."

Cyno is wordlessly on his way to report this blasphemy to Lord Kusanali.
"Not that deep...? Alhaitham, you..."
He wasn't even looking at him. Probably for the better, so that he may not see the heartbreak in Cyno's eyes.
"Tch." Cyno stepped away and swiftly turned around, unable to look at Alhaitham any longer. "The rules of Genius Invokation TCG are sacred.

He is not even looking at him. Well, technically he is, but at a certain point in the bridge of his nose.
"I do get that your job is laudable, but we're talking about a card game here. It's not that deep, General."
"I do get that your job is laudable, but we're talking about a card game here. It's not that deep, General."
Cyno had no qualms walking right up to Alhaitham and intensifying that glare directly into the other's eyes. Cheating? Not on his watch.
"I have my ways of catching evildoers. Or have you forgotten my role as the General Mahamatra? There will be no cheating under my watch,

Crosses his arms, a look of doubt.
"How would you know if I'm cheating, if the main goal of cheating is to not be noticed? Think."
"How would you know if I'm cheating, if the main goal of cheating is to not be noticed? Think."
"As if I'd let you." A very bad choice of words to speak around the General Mahamatra, Alhaitham... Cyno glared daggers into his skull.

Ah... the smell of a budding new player. The tension in Cyno's shoulders eased at this realization. Anyone curious about Genius Invokation TCG was a friend of his, and they had come to the right place.

Ah.
So he knows nothing.
Rerir stares off somewhere over Cyno's head as he debates the worth of continuing this conversation now, tempted to just disappear.
...but he's curious, if not still a little suspicious.
"I've played cards in the past but I don't know what a TCG is."

Cyno reluctantly came to a stop. Then, he turned around. And finally, he met Rerir's eyes with a scowl (purely a result of his own embarrassment).
"It's a player tag. Have you heard of the card game Genius Invokation TCG?"

Alhaitham was a good friend. He would never participate in No Noise November if doing so meant no longer spending time with them for the entire month.
It put a smile on Cyno's face, albeit a very small one.

This information was very useful and all, but Kaveh never laughed at his pun. Did he not catch it? Maybe he didn't understand it?

Alhaitham would probably never realize how much this meant to him. Mostly because Cyno wasn't the best at putting these things into words, and often showed his appreciation through other means.
But for a brief moment, his eyes widened ever so slightly. Maybe Alhaitham did enjoy his puns...

Yet his curiosity knows no end. Thus, it will be his downfall.

True, yes, nearly everyone and everything made Rerir suspicious of them and their intent, but this was particularly odd.
What was in that box he'd held up like a weapon? What did he mean `duel`? Any manner of `duel` Rerir knew involved bloodshed... surely this pitiful thing didn't~

No, wait. This was a breakthrough...!
If Cyno could figure out what it was that he said or did to make Alhaitham laugh, he could replicate it whenever he wanted to put his friend in a good mood!
Took long enough for that guy to open up to him. Maybe he was fearful to express his joy?
