Aurelia
as if you were on fire
from within
from within
She catches his shit-brown eyes following her ring around the table every now and then. This observation causes a shit-eating, scheming little grin to form on her face.
The name comes out easier than she expects it to. "Rigby..." she lets the syllables roll over her tongue a little slower, tasting the name for the first time. "That's a nice name. Suits you better than 'street rat', I think," she offers him a less mischievous smile this time, something born of the desire to be friends.
Oh, turns out her cards beat his after all! She's pleasantly surprised but makes much less of a show about it this time, falling more comfortably into the pace of this game. She might expect to lose the next round, at least, out of sheer probability.
As for another question... well, she doesn't want to make things too personal. "How about I make a request this time?" So, instead, she picks up her glass and extends it out to cheers him, "Drink with me. C'mon, just one drink - for luck," feeling a bit bold, she takes a breath to say, "you don't always have to look at every situation like it's something to be sized up, you know. It is possible to just.. sit back and have fun." She pauses, quirking her brows, "Well, sometimes."
Again, whether he obliged her or not, she wouldn't wait too long before throwing back a swig of her own drink. The cards are reshuffled and placed back in the center of the table once more, and this time Aurelia will go first.
She comes up with a total of twelve and looks over at his cards curiously to see what he has.
