That gets a grin in response, and Gideon bends to grab more rocks. "You're on."
She actually loses count by the time they've exhausted the stash of rocks in their nearby vicinity, but it's fine because she never thought of a prize anyhow. When they get back to the bar, the party has wound way down, and rather than head straight upstairs, she opts to join Lan Wangji for a quiet cup of tea. They don't say much, and that's cool – they linger for a while in the dim warmth near the fire until it's time to say goodnight.
When she does head back to the room, there's a new spring in her step: she can't quite put her finger on why, but she has the distinct feeling that she's won.
