He watched her art, trying to guess what sort of shape this mysterious 'car' would take as she drew, but her description of playing with her brother brought a wry smile to his face. He was an only child, and had no such memories, but he nodded thoughtfully as she mentioned a ball game and swimming. Playing with magic, though - for a moment his eyes widened, wondering what spells she had once wielded, but the description a moment later dashed that misunderstanding before he embarrassed himself by letting it out. It wasn't exactly the clearest description of what was happening - colors made sense, at least; he'd played Three-Dragon Ante before and suits were normal enough in card games. He wasn't sure where 'health' came from, but the emphasis she put on it made it sound like a game mechanic... perhaps a different way of saying taking tricks or winning rounds?
"Maybe we could make some cards similar to that game?" he hazarded uncertainly. "Or else a ball would work, too. A skate board... is that like a sled?" Ice skating he knew, and using a board as a sled to travel over snow. Was that what she meant? His attention was drawn back to her artistic depiction and he pondered over it before guessing: "So, this 'car' is kind of like a cart? It reminds me a little of a wheeled horse toy my friend had when we were children. Her father pulled her around in it when we were small." His smile warmed for a moment a the memory, for once one that was gentle and warm.
