Re: The Queen of Air & Darkness: Casino
Always dangerous was curiosity, for through its tangled webs, it possessed the power to enrapture and bind even the keenest minds or strongest bodies. Here, now, in Jaerad Kienaan's most esteemed casino, that sudden disturbance was like a swoop at full throttle. Who, what, why, those were but a few of the questions on Joron Sarrus' mind. Suspicion, suspicion offered him plenty of answers, plenty of reasons why but he had no way of knowing that they were true. He didn't see the look, didn't see the devious men that eyed the chips in his hand; his eyes were still aimed upward.
Part of him wished to investigate, to find and discern but the other half wished to relax and gamble until his services were needed. Then there was his own bait he needed to weave. Raising his left hand to the air, the decadent youth took a long sip of the chilled water. But the freezing water wasn't enough to numb his senses. It was only then that he truly wished that he had ordered something numbing. Frowning, Joron finally returned his gaze to the table and waited for the next round of bets to be taken.
"Two hundred on black," he said, nodding once to the dealer and then placing two hundred credit chips onto the table below. It was a relatively small bet, a means in which to work more money from his benevolent employer. And right now... he was uncertain if his gut had told him black or if that was the wrong decision. [private to GM: Not using utf to cheat, Joron is merely betting as any man would. Given the nature of the game and the bet placed, feel free to random 1d2 with red being 1 and black being 2 or however you see fit.]
