Chance looks down at himself then gives Destiny a wry grin. "I think I better go finish getting dressed. I might get used to running around like this and I'll run out of secret scars."
Tossing her a wink, he turns around and finally leaves the kitchen to go figure out where he'd left off. It doesn't take but a few minutes for him to find his shirt and don it before also donning one of his holsters and gun as was his habit, even in the house.
Eventually, he makes it back to the kitchen, seeming more ready for the day now. Smelling the food again, he grins. "Mmm... this smells good. You shouldn't do this every day though, you're gonna spoil me and I'll never want off this assignment."
Phil's smile is still present and he moves to sit on the now-empty spot on the bed where he could face Rayne and set the cards on the tray. "Don't worry... I may like to play cards, but that doesn't mean I'm any good. Kyle was always the one with the knack."
Shuffling the cards, Phil deals them and helps Rayne pick them up, careful not to look at them since she had to play with one hand. And suddenly, the time seems to fly by. Conversation started coming easier and easier until Phil was completely relaxed, not paying attention at all to the time...
"I can't believe you beat me again." Phil smirks and lets his cards flop back onto the tray. "I knew I was bad, but I didn't think I was that bad!" He grins though, not minding a bit.
It's just then that the doctor comes in and gives Rayne one last check before giving the go-ahead for her to leave. Phil is now standing nearby, and waits for the doctor to leave again before speaking to Rayne once more.
"I'll go wait down in the lobby, okay? Then you can show me where you live."
