Melba
"OOf don't tell me you don't know what a pinky promise is" *He blinked twice before laughing a little, ignoring the fact that she wasn't listening.* "You hook your pinky into mine and I promised to not say anything to anyone" *The other hand brought up the mug to his lips, before he downed everything in one go.* "By the way, the other one wouldn't like it when you steel something from us."
Jimmy
*Ëna shrugs, and starts to finish up her drink as well. Some of the liquid wets her fur around her mouth a, which really annoyed her since now she had WET FUR ON HER FACE!*
"The other one?"
*She asks, raising an eyebrow and putting her cup down.*
Melba
"Yes! The other one! He doesn't like it when things get lost and gets really angry. But today is my day and not his. He promised me!" *Just in that moment when Duke finished the sentence, one of his eyes turned white with a red iris for split second. But he didn't noticed it and started to just rub t a little because it felt itchy.* "So what can someone do in their free time here? Is there something funny? I mean we can't drink all night long... At least I need to have some spare money for a room."
Jimmy
"Umm..."
*Ëna scratches the back of her ear, thinking about how his iris thing was... Actually pretty weird. She'd seen weird stuff before, but not this kinda weird.*
"Drinking all night is fun. But I hear there's also card games, maybe."
*She shrugs*
Melba
"Hmmm card games are fun indeed... But only with something risky involved. Like loosing money, or a limb or I don't know a finger maybe?" *Duke cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his head a little. The inner voice was screaming right now when he started to mention the limb stuff and finger loosing. Though after a second he gave himself a little pat on the head.* "Ahh it was a joke at least the limb loosing thing. "But I'm up to some stuff!"
Jimmy
*Oooooo. Risk? Ëna smirks, rubbing her furry hands together MENACINGLY, and plotting.*
"You want some risk? I'll give you some risk. Let's play a game of cards. If I win, you give me some cash. If you win..."
*Ëna shrugs*
"Whatever you want, I guess."
*"Just please don't cut off a finger..."*
Melba
"Yes!" *Duke started to mimic the menacingly hand rubbing and started to put on a fake evil laugh. Even he himself doesn't know why he is doing it, but it wasn't bothering him. Though the laughing got louder and louder. His mouth was opened white and revealed his slightly sharp white teeth, the hair was waving little in the laughing motion.* "I will bet 2 gold! If I win you will have to pay my rent for a week, if not I will give you 2 gold pieces. Just be aware that we don't like cheating." *As sudden as the evil laughing started it stopped the same way.* "So deal?" *He stretched out a hand to seal the deal*
Jimmy
*Ëna gulps. Pay rent for a week? That would be A LOT of money! Money which she didn't have. Her parents probably had it, sure, but they would be pissed if she just took some of it and used it to pay for this mans rent. Ëna sighs, looking at the counter for a moment and rubbing her temples.*
"I can't afford that. Is there anything else you want?"
*She felt a little embarrassed saying this.*
Melba
"What are you able to offer us?" *He placed his elbow on the counter and rested his head on his palm, while looking at her.* "We are really easy to be satisfied. What about two days? And a meal?" *The grin didn't vanished from his face, as he ordered two new mugs.* "I mean this should be still affordable right? Two days aren't much here right? Also I'm sure you found something valuable while working?"
Jimmy
*Two days? Well, she could afford that!*
"Alright, two days it is. So..."
*Using the power of RP bullshit, Ëna suddenly pulls out a deck of cards and places it on the counter.*
"Shall we begin, Duke?"
Melba
"Good! Let us start! Ehm... What are we playing?" *At this moment Duke realized that he didn't knew how to play any card games. A big facepalm would be a good thing here but it wasn't happening. Though it doesn't really mattered for him, and he started to sit straight on his stool.* "I just need a little explanation. If that is possible."
Jimmy
*Ëna couldn't help but giggles a tiny bit, but she quickly went back to being the serious cat lady thief person she was.*
"Alright, so..."
*She starts to explain the rules of Blackjack and Go Fish*
Melba
"Black Jack it is. Who is going to deal the cards?" *He looked at the card deck, and then to the barkeeper to receive the two new mugs.* "Anyway, remember. No cheating. Let us play fair." *He took a sip from the mug.*
Jimmy
*Ëna nods, and also takes a sip from her mug. She started to feel a little tipsy, but it probably wouldn't effect her that much.*
"I'll deal out the cards, no worries."
*She smiles, and starts to shuffle the deck.*
