Games of chance, hm? Now that sounded like a lot of fun. 

“I myself have always quite partial to a nice game of cards. I’ve also picked up quite a few card tricks that I’d be more than happy to show you if you’re interested.” She smiled in return. As they walked Aria studied the man from the corners of her eyes. He really was quite handsome, about a head taller than her with dark brown tousled hair, a finely clipped beard, looking to be in his mid 30s. He carried himself in quite the sophisticated fashion as many of the patrons here did, she noted with a smile. 

The two had made their way halfway down the grand staircase, and were currently on the landing halfway down. Suddenly she blinked in realization. 

“Oh my, I’ve forgotten to introduce myself, haven’t I? How careless!” She slipped her hand gently from his arm and swept into a graceful curtsy. “My name is Aria, sir. It’s a great pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

After introductions were done and taken care of, the two proceeded down to the lively floor of the casino party area. The jazz band was playing as lively as ever, dancers filling the floor. Aria took the chance to sidle slightly closer to the man as if to make sure they wouldn’t be accidentally separated. She scanned the room, noting all the security cameras that hung from the ceiling. The illusionist tilted her head as she studied one. Did they reflect illusions as well?

“Oh, there’s a table over there that’s starting.” She motioned to a group of four people sitting around a poker table as the dealer brought out a pack of cards. “Shall we join them, or should I go fetch a drink for you first?” She smiled sweetly at the man.
