Lisette waved back cheerfully to Xan, although she was somewhat disappointed that she wasn't staying to see if Marcus won. 

She stood watching, intrigued by the different demeanors of each player. Marcus, of course, was calm as usual, while she could tell from the man, "Kenny's", shoulders and back muscles that he was quite confident and relaxed. The female player pursed her lips and ran her long nails across the edge of the card she was looking to discard. And the other two players were sweating a bit, tensed up and looking back and forth between their cards and the pot in the center.

Kapi scurried out of Lisette's arms suddenly and climbed on top of her head, getting his little clawed feet tangled a bit in her thick, frizzy hair.

"Ow, Kapi...!" Lisette winced, trying to pay attention to the game.

Unbeknownst to her, that was exactly what Kapi was doing as well; from his vantage point atop his owner's head, he could see over Kenneth's shoulder and at his cards. He sniffed for some reason; it wasn't clear if it was out of approval or disapproval.

Selan shook her head, clearly amused at the idea that their youngest member had seemingly developed a gambling addiction.

Lucien came along just then, waving to the two of them. "[i]Whoa, you're a real good gambler. Did you teach her? Teach me too, yeah?"[/i]

Selan's hand rushed to her mouth to cover her laughter. "Of course not, I was just about to pull her away from this thing. Come on Trixie, I'll buy you some apple juice if that's what you want. We can trade in your winnings, too..."

Selan moved to pluck Trixie off the stool, but suddenly the trickster tensed up and clung onto the lever. "No, noooo! Just one more! Just one more and I'll kick the stuff for good, I swear!"

"Trixie, I think you might have a problem..." Selan said as delicately as she good, folding her arms.

"I don't have the problem, [i]you[/i] have the problem! You just want my apple juice, don'tcha?" Trixie was so wound up that she wasn't even putting coins in anymore, instead just pulling the lever over and over again.

"Alright, here we go..." Selan muttered, feeling an exasperation that she usually only felt when dealing with Don or Trent. "Help me?" she said to Lucien, who smirked and threw her a Don-esque thumbs up.

The two of them lifted Trixie off the stool completely, causing her to bicycle her legs wildly in the air. Coins spilled from her pockets and bounced and rolled across the floor in different directions, leaving a trail behind as they led her away.
