Kings of the castle

Yes. Oriena had certainly taken the bait, and if Jaxen was still a little apprehensive, well...that was going to change quickly. She would be the catalyst that would lead that particular horse to water. And judging by the smoky looks she sent his way, she was going to make him take a drink.

Jon shrugged off Oriena's suggestion he was in the wrong place. He hadn't planned to come to any place this night, but had only popped into Kallisti's because he was tired of walking. It was only because Jaxen and Oriena had happened to draw his attention, and his invitation to the table, that he was sitting with them. The stage held so little interest to him it was laughable. One knew what the actors were after, desiring to provoke responses from men -- and their wallets, too. It was all an act, and a scripted one at that.

Any act at this table...well, it would certainly be unscripted.

He turned to Oriena on his left: "I believe I am in exactly the place I am supposed to be."


Now Oriena was offering one of the blank white cards to Jaxen. Stuck neatly between two fingers, accompanied by a fire in her eyes --

"Ready to lose?"


There was no way Jaxen could back down from that challenge. Jon kept his face blank, but deep within himself he was struggling to contain the laughter.
