[Having some familiarity is better than starting out completely cold. The resort already makes them acknowledge hands with their rewards and crap. Esikko's smart. Bakugo won't feel bad stomping his ass. There's no joy in taking out a complete ignorant.
Of course he's watching Esikko! From the peripheral of his vision over his fan of cards, keeping both in his sight. Noting the slender line of his brows and whether they furrow in frustration or arch in delight. His pretty eyes focusing on the cards, noting whether they flick to one side of his card fan in expectation of trumping the set on the table. Little tells which indicate the man's able to beat his current hand or if he'll fold... Does he expect Esikko to try bluffing? Somewhat. But the guy wears some emotions on his sleeve.
There goes his frown. Cute.]
Tch! Friendly competition's just a shitty way of excusing doubt!
