The Players and the Played.

“Not that certainly one way to put it.” Ethan in a billow of smoke as one of his hand clapped the table in amusement. “A fine line between brave and foolhardy.” He added before nodding to Jacob to sign to him to keep going. The last card would come down. The 4 of spades, which was pretty much a dead card in the end.

Meredith would flip her hand and reveal a pair of aces. The pair, along with the revealed 3 queens on the table would mean she had a “Full house” Jacob pointed out loud. When Vince followed in revealing his cards, Meredith would groan and Ethan would slap the table again in amusement. “Four of a Kind. The hand goals to the gentleman.” Jacob explained gathering the cards on the table and leaving Vince to gather the chip from the centre of the table.

While Meredith had bet high, she had more chips then Vince to start so would still be in the game, but down to so few chips that she would struggle to recover. While the hand would give Vince a commendable chip lead. “Well looks like you a lucky charm after all.” Ethan chuckled finishing his second glass of drink.

Ethan chuckled under his breath as Luciana shushed him. Explaining that Vince would get overconfident at his words. All this seemed to do was to encourage Vince to flirt back at Luciana and the pair to finish their drinks. Grinning as Luciana went to make more drinks for herself and Vince, the other man complimented her again while asking Ethan if he agreed.

"Well she certainly has a sharp wit." Ethan agreed, with a puff of smoke before pausing to look over his shoulder back over to Luciana at the bar. The god of vices, looked over her while she wasn't looking with eyes that if anyone saw would certainly reveal that smoking, drinking and gambling were not the only addictions he part took in.

He forced the expression from his face, as he turned back to face Vince. "And I wouldn't bet either way if her figure was sharper then her wit or vice versa." He said to Vince with deep laugh.

Ethan wasn't exactly surprised by how Vince complimented Luciana, but was intrigued at the mention of escorts other then her overhearing. It wasn't exactly as if that was a likelihood at the moment with how they were all up on his personal section of the casino overlooking the rest of it. So he could easily believe that the words were genuine.

Ethan's response was to chuckle and when Luciana had rejoined them. "You've not missed much. Other then Vince here sounding like an advert on your behalf. If it wasn't for the fact he was winning, one might consider he was trying to get us to empty our pocket another way." Ethan said, his voice full of mirth and obviously talking in jest.
