[ Sanguine isn't an amateur to betting, either-- even if he doesn't remember it just yet. On the one hand, he won't play it entirely safe all the time himself. On the other hand, he's not going to risk going hard on Yasuragi's passivity unless he's fairly confident in the hand he's got-- a pretty good one, if not perfect. ]

[sonof]

[ eventually he starts leaning harder on betting aggressively - so it might end up reversed from the very start, with Yasuragi winning small pots of 10, 10, 10, if Sanguine doesn't challenge them ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ He is, at that point, going to start betting more aggressively himself. There's a point where safety isn't actually... safe. ]

[sonof]

[ at one point when Sanguine calls him on a pot that he’d goaded built up particularly high, he laughs aloud at the end of it and flips over a hand with absolutely nothing ]

Worth the shot. Well done. I’ll have to claw my advantage back again.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ A grin flickers on his face. ]

You're really good already. It's a fun challenge.

[sonof]

The game may be new, but gambling is a well-worn practice for me.

[motorcycle_noises]

I can tell. It's exciting, honestly.

[sonof]

You’re rather decent yourself. Mind if I try dealing the next hand?

[motorcycle_noises]

Thanks. And go ahead.

[sonof]

Appreciated.

[ takes the cards to deal, more to get a better feel for the game than anything. didn’t cheat! this time ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Not cheating is good! He's going to try a few risky bets himself, trying to see if he can catch Yasuragi off-guard. None of it's enough to lose it all, but he's definitely not playing safe anymore. ]

[sonof]

[ if he has any tells in his expression or fidgeting betting risky is not gonna go well for him ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Although he's actively working to suppress the tells he's aware of, he's almost certainly got one or two very minor facial tics that Yasuragi can pick up on. When he inevitably loses, he laughs. ]

Well, we can't say I didn't try. Looks like you're getting that advantage back after all.

[sonof]

And thank you very much for instructing me.

[motorcycle_noises]

It's fun to teach someone who picks up on it so quickly. And I really like a challenge.

[sonof]

[ laughs close-lipped ]

You’re a very good sport.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Huh, he is pretty. It's a momentary flicker of a thought, but it's there. ]

I try to be. I like winning of course, but I like playing more.

[sonof]

Even-tempered.

[ gathering up and shuffling the cards ]

[motorcycle_noises]

I've got my buttons, but no one's gonna hit 'em in poker.

[ He waits for Yasuragi to deal. ]

[sonof]

Is that right.

Looking to go another round?

[motorcycle_noises]

That's right. And yes, I want to go again.

[sonof]

Another fifty?

[ starting to deal ]

[motorcycle_noises]

Sounds good to me.

[sonof]

[ hope ur ready to lose another 50 points ]

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Yeah, he's expecting that honestly. That doesn't mean he's giving up without trying. ]
