Somethin’ like that. Doesn’t seem to be anything else to do with ‘em unless I really start wrackin’ my brains.
[The lackadaisical way he says that betrays the fact that he is not going to do anything of the sort. Instead, he seems to have started building a card castle (very badly, why would you do that on a subway).
In a moment, with a distinctly amused sideways glance at Rita.]
No? Seems to me like something that'd be up yer alley.
[He just keeps watching her rifle around her pockets, grin in place and absently stacking the card castle that keeps falling over five seconds later because it doesn't have enough cards and definitely has no stability to speak of.]
Nyahihi, but ya write yer name on all o' yer things, hmm?
[He's not even trying to hide the fact that he's delighted by her confusion and fumbling -- instead he gathers up the completely un-castlelike card castle and spreads the cards, showing her only what the characters are and what's not on the back. Of course, at least two of those should look familiar to her.
Hans' eyes are half-moons as he watches her mischievously over them.]
But like ya said, it ain't a huge deal just collectin' these. So what's it really matter?
Nyahahahaha! Ya didn't notice, huh? Been hangin' on to these since I got outta the car back there.
[So like, most of the day?? He finds the whole thing hilarious considering she went so far as to graffiti these, the absent-minded intellectual trope is real.
Also he's just going to nab the other card that is hers, the Albedo one. Not playing keep-away yet, but there's some of that energy.]
Ya seem way more into this card game'n I am, ya know!
[You know how cats are really annoying when they don't want to be touched or picked up and contort themselves into all sorts of pretzel shapes because they don't have bones. He does all of this and then shimmies all the way up into the rack in the ceiling of the subway that holds all the hand-holds.
Only then does he allow her card to flutter back down. He just wanted to see her make faces.]
But I didn't want cards with names all over 'em anyway. Yer really plannin' on keeping 'em all, huh?

... Then she looks over to his card castle.]
Hey, let me see those.
[She's coming over to take a closer look.]
