[Rosamund has sat herself once again at the observation deck. She's set out a deck of cards, but seems at loss for how to deal them, much less invite anyone to play. She's looking studiously at each suit and setting them down one by one, as if she might reverse engineer something on sight.
It's a searing loneliness that guides her. And the stray thought that might drift over the air:
[Oh, someone is trying to figure out gin rummy. Sora heard that stray thought, her curiosity piqued]
Ah. Are you attempting to figure out the rules by staring at the cards?
[Just poking a little bit of fun there. Sora might be, well, a serious scholar and what not, but she does have a tendency to say things for her own amusement, really]
[Looks up to find the lovely woman from before. The educator, yes?]
Ahaha, sort of? I don't know. Maybe I'm just reminiscing too hard. My dear friend used to talk about this game she played with her grandmother all the time, gin rummy?
It's a simple game. The goal, to put it simply, is to make groups in your hand, groups being...
[Sora proceeds to show the kinds of groups, and durin her explanation, well, it all is leaning more towards traditional rummy than gin rummy, but the good thing is that the general rules are similar enough a jump from one to the other wouldn't be too jarring!
gosh now i want to play gin rummy
During her explanation it's pretty clear this woman is very used to teaching. The diction is crystal clear, the instructions leave no room for ambiguity, and she seems to enjoy herself imparting what she knows]

[She's not entirely certain because she doesn't play card games all often, but she's pretty sure she recalls most of the details]

[Hands her the deck at once.]
I'd like to be prepared if I see her again.
