The suggestive look Ryoko shot him caused Rayne's libido to stir, it took an effort of will to suppress it so that he could stay on the task at hand.  He found himself wondering what sort of details were included with the reputation she mentioned.  With a nod, he agreed to Ryoko's suggestions.  "A loan would certainly make things easier to get off the ground at least.  We've already got ownership of the building, so our expenses will be minor by comparison.  And I do like the idea of setting aside some room on the second floor for other non-gambling accommodations to help bring in the people with deep pockets.  Since there's only one stairwell, it'd be easy to secure it from the main floor giving it a sense of exclusivity."<br/><br/>Rayne looked over to Sasha when she began to speak and he had nearly stumbled by the sudden show of generous cleavage.  He got the impression that he would have to watch his footing even though he was several feet away.  One misstep and he would risk falling into that deep cavern to possibly never return.  Or so he hoped.<em>Gods, I love my roommates.</em>Despite the enthralling distraction, Rayne still managed to hear her contributions even if it was at the back of his mind.  "Even better."  He smiled toward her, liking her line of thought.  "We can take care of two birds with one stone by turning the upstairs VIP rooms into spaces we can also conduct mercenary business.  Things would be much easier if we can run all of our business ventures from this locale."<br/><br/>His gaze swept over to Aramil.  "You wouldn't happen to know anything about establishing a casino, would you?  I've been to a few, but being an occasional patron is a far cry from understanding the logistics of daily operations.  I can manage the bookwork no problem, but as far as running this place and attracting customers... I have a feeling it'd take more charisma that I've got."
