RONIN
kiss your perfect day goodbye
Smiling and ducking his head in response to Elizabeth's reassurance, Ronin lets her place her bet and likewise takes note of the overconfident man. He tries to decide whether or not his boldness comes from a genuinely good hand or from a particularly good bluff; in the meantime, a quick glance to the side shows a wine spider scuttling away across the floor. With a smirk towards it, Ronin considers his own hand and then sets his cards face down, equally as willing to play.
"But of course. Why do you think I joined? I'm more of a blackjack player, in truth," he replies, the words spoken under his breath and tinged with amusement. Luckily, whatever unsavoury antics that were primed to take place have likely already been spooked away by the Knight's presence (and his penchant for do-goodery, if not his willingness to punch problems if necessary). And as the players begin to reveal their cards, it does all seem suspiciously calm; Ronin has a double, but it's not enough to take the pot, and he shrugs away the loss, unbothered.
