[ The Paintress, hm...he gets the impression that isn't just a woman with a talent for art, but he likewise doesn't want to drag down the mood, and if the expedition was a lucky one for Verso, then it's all the better. If it was the end of the journey, whether literally or figuratively...

Well. Aventurine understands...better than many. The allure of the end of a journey, of rest. ]

Then let's see if our luck combined can defy the odds.

[ With the bets taken, the dealer at last spins the roulette wheel, sending the ball rolling, until it starts to slow, slow and slow...

And land in 33. ]

[reverso]

[ ...

POINTS

No, actually. His brows raise, and Verso points. To where the little ball lands on the 33.]

Mais non! [WOAH] You really did it.

[gamboler]

[ Aventurine might be used to this kind of victory, but Verso's enthusiasm is infectious, and his grin warms, standing a little straighter, preening like the peacock that he is. ]

All thanks to you, my friend! What will you do with your winnings?

[ It's mostly hypothetical. He's pretty sure the producers aren't gonna let them go on a wild spending spree and buy boats and cars or something, sadly. ]

[reverso]

[He is well and truly impressed. Maybe Aventurine can garner some novelty from that, at least. His brows look like they're going to leap off his face and fly into the ceiling.]

Me? I'm going to buy a [Mc]mansion overlooking the sea, and retire early, sipping wine until I'm old and grey!

And what of you?

[gamboler]

I was thinking of maybe sailing the sea and learning the art of ocean fishing. Retiring early is a given.

[ Now that is a fanciful dream. ]

[reverso]

[A laugh. The table around them is abuzz with excitement over their lucky win.]

Really? I didn't know you were much of a fisherman.

[gamboler]

I'm not - yet. But if there were ever a time to try something new...

[ But he's not one to dwell on dreams. ]

Come on. We should head to our next game before we attract too much attention.

[ ...Too late. ]
