Maddie continued to consider the table while Amaris took on a harsh outlook on history. Maddie didn't know the political subtleties of the various families but she made a mental note to learn. She was the partner of one of the highest Marivaldis. It was only proper she take the extra time to educate herself. She had a unique situation to help: unfiltered access to other family's mages, even if only one vampire was of any note among the humans. She would think how best to exploit that but they had a challenge to win.

[color=FC8686]"I don't know enough about either family to say."[/color] Maddie agreed with Amaris' observation. There wasn't enough to tie the riddle to any of their choices specifically but if they assume their logic is sound, they had far greater chance of winning than losing on either face. [color=FC8686]"That seems the best bet."[/color]

The dealer broke into a grin as the bets were settled and set. [Color=deepskyblue]"Bet's are made, let's see the game!"[/color] He shouted cheerily, drawing the first card and slapping in down. He pulled his hand away to reveal Lord Peiron. He snapped his fingers and sighed in mock disappointment. [color=deepskyblue]"A few cards down and I woulda had ya! Let's see if you win this round!"[/color] He whipped out the next card, Lady Sybil Sinnenodel. 

[color=deepskyblue]"And lookie here! Your first win at the table, congrats!"[/color] He cheered, flicking a chip on top of theirs and pushing it all back at them. [color=deepskyblue]"Now, now into the next round we go!"[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]"A blade long sealed away for keep, with care and love does it sleep, this one who wields with it perfect skill, equal to tongue and pen in kills."[/color]
