Returning Aylin's grin, he beckoned her close and leaned in to speak with her, keeping his speech below the loud sounds of the other patrons. "<strong>If you don't mind giving me a hand, I'd be happy to split some of the winnings with you...</strong>" Giving her a mischievous, cunning wink, he explained to her the rules of the game if she wasn't already familiar with them as a first primer, using the empty table next to them to lay out cards and demonstrate as necessary. While Aylin was certainly a pleasure on the eyes, Ren's instruction was more educational and full of pleasant banter than flirtatious... though he dropped a few subtle remarks flattering how quickly she understood, her allure, and an expression on her face that he found particularly endearing.<br/><br/>After explaining the game, Renolf gave her two signals to watch out for. "<strong>If I scratch my cheek like this,</strong>" he said quietly, brushing the backs of his fingers against the trimmed hair there, "<strong>it's a good time to fold unless you have a great hand.</strong>"<br/><br/>Smiling at her, he then made an innocuous gesture of touching his nose, as if he was itching it. "<strong>If I do that, then I'm looking for a distraction - a peculiar turn of phrase, stretching a bit, giggling drunkenly... anything that captures attention will do.</strong>" Considering her substantial appeal, which went beyond her appearance and into the undeniable charm of her mannerisms and simple presence, he didn't think it would be difficult - but he wanted to offer suggestions, in case she wasn't quite experienced with such methods yet.<br/><br/>Answering any questions, he gave her a wink before he started up the game with his demonstration on the chair.
