If Zoro knew Weiss has been here for a year, he'd extend his sympathies. He's only been here for a much shorter duration, and he hasn't been able to fully relax just yet. There are too many unknown variables, and the most dangerous enemy is the one you can't see. Or hear. Or understand...

Weiss answers him, and Zoro thinks he must have heard wrong. "Excuse me?" He makes a face. "But there are so many cards..." His eyes narrow as that sinks in. What kind of sick game is this? It's the most deranged thing he's ever heard of.

A soft sigh leaves him at what she says next. Someone must have found this theoretical room that has everyone's stuff, but he has no clue where to start identifying said person. Or if it's even really true that someone has managed this task. This means he has to talk to more people to find more, and the idea isn't pleasing to him.

Zoro does perk up when she mentions a sword. "You're a swordsman? Cool." Another 5% friendlier due to this newly revealed common ground. It helps him be less argumentative, so he only shrugs when she confirms that a whip is indeed a sex toy (he'll find out later that it's true, but for now he's content to take her word for it.)

Two things happen next: first, Zoro grows suddenly nervous when Weiss demonstrates such a bold move with the deck; he momentarily forgets that it's good for him if she brings it all crashing down. Next, he hears the name of two people he certainly doesn't expect to come out of this stranger's mouth. "Yeah, I am." Now he looks a little excited, like a kid being told he can play with his friends soon. "You know them?" His words are simple, but his eyes say please, tell me more!
