WHAT DOES IT MATTER? WE NEED TO LOSE ANYWAY.

It matters in a lot of ways! This is our first interaction with an outsider, we need to prove our own worth. Mere kindness and passivity can only take us so far. Besides, if the game is too easy they'll give up.

ISN'T IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND?

Challenge encourages one to try. If one gets everything handed to them they'll see no point in it.

WHATEVER. YOU'LL GET YOUR TURN SOON ENOUGH, AND THEN WE'LL SEE.

Hmph. We'll seen...
