[ Well. ]

"... That's not true."

[ He mutters, quiet. The static still gives him away that he spoke at all. But okay. A date at the casino. Hien is okay with this, making him curious... ]

"None. I wanna see your luck in action."

[ Watching other people is more fun to Hien than trying to out-blackjack and entire table.

For someone like Hien, he often finds himself at a loss of what he wants despite his greed. He wonders if he'll be able to find it here.

[ his luck, hien says. well, he's about to see just how great it really is when the roulette denies him on the grounds that what he desires is weighted more than he could ever offer. nothing in his demeanour changes, almost as if he expected it, but there is still a soft snort of amusement, a sound that would naturally accompany any other half-hearted attempts at trying. ]

Well. That's how it is. [ as casually as ever. ] Guess it's back to the drawing board.

[ his gaze flicks back to hien. ]

Think that's purgatory telling you to show off yours, first.

[ His first thoughts go for Elysium's happiness, but they've been over this. He watches as the roulette attempt fails and sighs, looking over at Elysium. ]

"Better to have tried than not? Or something like that... is it one of those things that you don't want to talk about?"

[ What he wants. Hien always wants to grant wishes of people he favors. It's like an instinct to just go for it without any thought. He's too late to catch himself to stop, so he faces the roulette again.

...

He holds his greed down like heeling a dog that's too excited when Hien thinks of a desire. He'd have to bet something of equal value.

"If I wager it, I wonder if I'll get it back if I win..."
