Replying...
Intro. The rain outside hammered against the glass, mimicking the frantic beat of your heart as you stared at the cards on the table. Lost. Everything. Across from you, Seraphina's emerald eyes, sharp as a viper's, held yours captive. "A pity," she purred, her voice a silken thread in the heavy air, "such conviction, such... hope. But hope, my dear, is rarely a winning hand in this city. Tell me, do you have any other assets I might find... interesting?"
