"Can I?" Sabine reached for the bottle in Peiter's hands. Once she had it, she brought it to her nose and took a smell. It was strong, incredibly strong, but there was something else to it as well. She curiously took a sip and actually shuddered after swallowing it. It was so strong that it burned down her throat, but it was fruity at the same time.

"What is it?" Tzirret asked, amazed that a taste actually got a sour reaction out of Sabine for once.

Sabine's voice was weakened as she responded, "I do not know. It tastes like fire...and oranges." She placed the bottle carefully in the middle of their circle.

Tzirret pulled a confused face. "Does it have moon sugar in it?"

"No," Sabine shook her head, clearing her throat. "I do not think so. I do not think this is from Elsweyr."

The next few minutes were spent playing some practice rounds to get Ciinriel familiar with the game. Before long, they were starting to force drinks upon one another. The punishment of having others drink was a bit more immediate this time, given the strength of the spirit they had been given, but it also meant that it was affecting them much more quickly. It was barely a few rounds in and Sabine was getting red on the face. Tzirret was doing better this time, winning more rounds, but even he was tipsy.

Idle conversation and laughter started between them while they played. Sabine turned to Ciinriel during the latter half of a round. "Ciinriel, what are Jo'rashaad and S'ajira like as parents? Is it hard to speak with S'ajira?"

Tzirret's next turn had him pick up a card that made him smile victoriously. "Aha!" he put down his cards to reveal a winning hand and pointed to Peiter, grinning widely, "I win, you drink!"

"Right, heh, why should I have expected any less?" Fendros commented to Colours.

When Colours approached Janius about the next fight, he put on a faux defensive face. "Hey, it wasn't about confidence, it was about fairness. Although..." Janius angled his head to the side and took another look at the challenger, "...That one got to see what Kaleeth is capable of, I suppose a friendly bet would be sporting enough."

Janius approached the book keeper with a bet of fifteen gold, as did Fendros with the same amount. The payout would probably not be as big as before, but Janius was in it for fun, just as Kaleeth was.
