Thorin continued to grin as he grasped another drink and quickly drained the contents, making it practically the third in a row he’d necked. A buzz was quickly beginning to take hold of him, the familiar and glorious feeling causing his mood to soar. He was more than an experienced drinker, probably actually a borderline alcoholic – he’d gotten the art of riding a high down to a tee, being able to drink copious amounts whilst still being able to maintain control (more or less) of his actions. As Quicksilver asked about what had happened in the club Thorin smirked and began to tell the story, the girl also shot in several comments as he did. Turned out she was already pretty intoxicated, obviously having been in the club for some time, but they were getting along pretty well and so he occasionally lowered his voice and would murmur something to her causing her to either laugh or blush.

As the group began to play poker he started to ask about the others, probing here or there into things that had interested him about them. He kept things simple and didn’t probe too much, trying more so to get to know them than actually interrogating them. He already knew he liked Quicksilver, and was definitely looking forwards to seeing how he worked on the job. Red Five interested him, and he hoped he would get on with her. Thorin had always been interested in hacking and if she was as good as he figured she would be then he was definitely impressed. 

Accepting the poker invite the cards visualised on the table before him, his cybereyes seamlessly integrating a heads-up display alongside which would display his hand amogst other things. He also had a number of programs which would calculate odds and on occasion tip the scales in his favour, but he disabled them – not wanting to use anything like that in tonight’s game that might ruin the fun. As they played he joked occasionally and continued to drink heavily, also practically chain-smoking as the night wore on. He made sure to keep talking to the girl as well, after all if he neglected her completely to play poker his chances wouldn’t be great. He played only slightly recklessly, the alcohol giving him a slight disposition to take risks. If it came to it he had some nuyen to lose, always having an almost considerable amount set aside for this gambling ventures. He just hoped the cards were on his side.
