Poker Face- Lady Gaga

"Oh for Avo's sake! She's cleaning us dry!" Private Jammy exclaimed as Princess Anabelle won yet another round of Skyllian five poker.

The only ones at the fort who had not fallen prey to the Princess' Poker ability was Major Swift (He didn't gamble often,) Walter (probably because the sod knew better than to try a game with her,) and Ben Finn, who was actually neck and neck with her in the losses to wins statistic.

The Captain had to hand it to the royal, she had a damn good poker face. Not just at cards, whenever he turned his charm on, it was met with the same approach every time. Receptive, then just when he thought she was hooked, she squirmed free from his grasp just as easily he had thought she was in it, dashing away, a teasing look flashing in her eyes. It was almost like she was challenging her, 'Catch me if you can,' and Benjamin Finn, never refused a challenge.

Ben was snapped from his thought when the princess spoke up, her voice playful and teasing, not in a harsh way, but friendly. "What's wrong boys? Being trumped by a woman to much for your prides?" She asked, looking at the four men around her.

Ben's mouth twisted into his signature smirk, "Laugh it up Princess," I said emphasizing the title, knowing that it annoyed her, "It's only a matter of time until one of us wins everything back."

Anabelle's eyes flashed, her smile widening, "Is that so Captain?"She asked, returning the emphasis on his title. "Cause I believe that was a challenge." She added.

Ben leaned forward, elbows folding over each other as he spoke. "Alright then Princess, just you and me this round. All or nothing, with one added bet." He said, his eyes daring her to refuse.

The princess mimicked the Captain, leaning forward as well. Her lips twisted into a smirk as she saw his eyes drop, and lingered there before she spoke. "Well firstly Captain," she said tapping under his chin with her index finger, "My eyes are up here." She said, satisfied with the sheepish look that flashed across his face for a moment, before he too smirked.

"Well, your eyes are just as beautiful..."He said trailing off.

She tried taking a calm breath as she felt the heat rise to her cheeks. She swore to herself in her head as he straightened up. He had seen it. "Secondly, "She continued, trying to act as if it didn't happen, "I think I'll take that bet."

Not even a half hour later, Ben shuffled both their hands back into the deck, a triumphant smile on his face, and the Princess looking thoroughly miffed. She smiled slightly as he returned everyone's things, including her own. "It seems Anabelle." He said, actually using her name, "That my Poker face is superior."He said smirking.

She gave him one of her own, "For the moment." She said chuckling.
