He held his cards up and I did too. He placed three down.

"Three of the aces!" He said too happily.

"Two twos." I state.

"Four threes!" He yells.

"Sh, Loki. Everyone else is watching the movie." I say, laughing.

"My bad." He says.

"Two fives." I add my cards to the stack.

"Five sixes!" He places cards down.

"Bull shit!" I yell gallantly, breaking my own warning.

"How did you know my shit of bulls?" I laugh at him and he takes the whole stack.

"Language!" Steve calls from the other room.

"There're only four suits in a deck, Loki, not five. So that means the most of any number you can have is five." I say. His head drops. "Okay let's finish the game." I say.

"Might as well."

"One seven." I say.

"Two eights."

"Three nines." He says. I hesitate and watch his face for a tell, just to mess with him.

"One ten." I say. I have three cards left.

"Two Jacks."

"Three Queens." I say, giving up the rest of my deck.

"One King." He says, angrily. "How do you win every time?"

"I was bluffing literally the entire game. Not once did I put down an honest hand!" I laugh loudly, eating another pretzel.

"But I'm a god! I should know when a mortal shits bull!"

"You can't shit a bull, Loki, that would be painful." I say, chuckling. He smiles, realizing his mistake. "You should smile more. It's cute." His face reddens. I eat another pretzel.

"Thank you Lady-"

"However, your lying and card-playing skills could not be worse." I say. He chuckles.

"When you visit Asgard, I will face you in an Asgardian hunting game. Then we will see who is superior."

"It'll still be me." I say and stand, I walk towards the living room where the others are. I hear him stand behind me.

"Bull shit." He says.
