[Since the dog is tragically asleep, he'll miss the way the expressions on Grey's face play out at the discovery- the slight furrow of the brows at the "This doesn't look related to-" followed by the eyes bugging out at the realization of what it is, and the swift reddening of the face as Grey quickly works out why Manabu was (probably) looking into this.
He honestly thinks it's quite sensible of Manabu! But he is also stowing it away for potential teasing ammunition later. (Nevermind that he got flustered when he noticed it.)
But back to the present; Grey scoots back when Manabu stirs, anticipating potential flailing. The startle still makes him flinch, but by the time Manabu's spotted him Grey's expression has smoothed out entirely. He looks calm, professional, not at all like he was doing weird shit while Manabu was asleep.]
Oh good, you're awake.
[Manabu will have to ask directly about the cards if he wants an explanation, but it's probably not hard to make a connection between the playing cards scattered across Manabu's lap and the bed, and the remainder of the deck that Grey is still holding in one hand.]
