"Ah, good. Because there's also Yelena's dad. But then we'd run risk of having to also invite her sister..." and Ava doesn't look too thrilled about a chain reaction that would get her closer to having to interact with Avengers, of all things. And then she'd be on their radar. And she's pretty sure that's something Dex would prefer to avoid as well.

She wrinkles her nose at the 'magic' explanation, because clearly it isn't actual magic, and there has to be some sort of sleight of hand to the whole thing. But she can't figure it out, and that amuses her as much as it annoys her. Ava tries to pay even closer attention for his next trick, even knowing that somehow the ace must have never left the top at all as she turns it over to reveal it... she can't figure out how he managed to make it appear otherwise. She grabs at the deck to flip them over, inspecting to make sure there's not a double of the ace anywhere...

"You're such a show off." Fondly, of course. "Why's that one lucky?"
