"It's a card game?" He loves card games. "Like p--" a card game for children. So NOT poker, pinochle, pontoon, baccarat, "heaaarts?" He asks slowly, not really covering for himself, but sure. "But you collect them too?" Like books. Art. Or how Le Comte collects literal artists going the extra mile in rich person things. Okay, but not books, she said she only had the ones they read in school. "Like... butterflies?" No wait, girls don't do that. "Or you're an American so... marbles or--" wasn't there cards the boys collected from candy? "Baseball cards?" Maybe? That sounds wrong, but he's not an American child.
"You can be friends with boys without marrying them. I am. Friends with women too. Not married." Anymore. "Is Doombot a superhero or villain?" Does it matter?

Even whaling and hunting seals, you wind up feeling very sympathetic to anyone hunted, whatever the circumstance.
