Close but No Dice

Arthie Casimir never believed in things like luck or fate. She had always done everything herself. When Jin said things like good luck, she wanted to sneer. Luck had nothing to do with her carving her place into the world.

Matteo Andoni thrived on luck. He might as well walk outside with a blindfold and throw darts for where to go next. He always ended up where he needed to be. Which is how he got to Spindrift, needing Arthie's help to go undercover in an underground gambling ring.

"Arthie, darling, I need your help" He said smiling. Arthe just ran her eyes over him, Jin behind her. She looked at Jin and they seemed to have a silent conversation. Arthie seemed to win because Jin walked off going to talk to the other staff.

"I don't do things for free" She said glaring at Matteo.

"Oh I know, but underground gambling, the secret the drunks will spare, and i'm pretty lucky I can win you a few thousand duvan." She growls, actually growls. There was that word. Luck. He was not lucky. He was not favoured by anyone.

"You only win when they let you win. It's not luck." She takes a breath. "Yes, Okay. Why are we going there."

"Because, My Dearest Arthie, I need a deal made and my particular friend only works with winners. And Having a bodyguard never hurts.
