[Reno nods. He remembered something like that, vaguely.]

Pretty bad place... you were... stuck there. Those people that you fought with... they don't try to get along with ya, do they? They didn't care 'bout anything but themselves.

[He had a moment of disorientation, probably a side effect of having spent a week in someone else's body, but the memories weren't trying to take over his brain at least. If anything, Reno could understand Ganondorf's point of view on some topics.]

Kind of reminds me of some people back home.

Anyway, the girl's not really a threat. Do ya really need her memory erased? I mean... [a heartbeat, really really loud in his ears] I could kill her if ya want, but... seems kinda unnecessary. No memory erasing... sort of like puttin' down a queen and actin' like you got a royal flush.

[He was a Turk. He could lie with a straight face like that.

But that last part... a royal flush- that was poker. He'd been teaching the kids the basics of the game.

Wasn't that... a bluff he was talking about?

Xion, if only you knew how sorry he was... he was in a dangerous game, he had to play the cards he was dealt.]
