[attr="class","beck"]bait or otherwise, he flicks some chips in, meeting pryde's raise.

more cards are distributed. he doesn't even take a look at his before throwing more chips in, raising.

"go on, then."

Raphael just glances to the side ignoring the looks the two Rockets were being given by their clear pettiness of each other as the one arm man calls. Another round card is drawn after two others at the table fold. [Break][break]

"this is child's play, he flips the chip to the side with a pokeball on it and taps it before he puts the single chip down. This was more than money now, not that the deal and them would get it as they shouldn't.

[attr="class","beck"]again, he doesn't bother to look at the new card that's placed in front of him. he flicks a chip in, matching.

A brow raises in curiosity, he gestures for the dealer to pause as it seems their betting wasn't done. "And what did you have in mind then?

He didn’t have the pokemon to be better, most of his collection was back in Kanto, but for Theo and this bet? He didn’t care. He puts down another singular chip, those at the table confused because the pokeball chip wasn’t worth much especially since the two have been betting blindly so far. The dealer flips the final card revealing the Ace he’s been counting on. [break][break]

”Four of a kind Ace high,” he glances to Theo as he reveals his cards, though he has a feeling he knows he’s won this as he has been watching this table for awhile, and knew the probability of what he needed.

[attr="class","beck"]beckett reveals his hand and shows absolutely nothing. the round is lost, and even more so, a bit of his pride.

"congrats, pryde."

”Right, I’ll take your payment after,” he collects his winnings this round, this deck would soon be useless but it was still good for a round or two. With this winnings he even buys in Theo’s next blind bet. He’s won now, and he’s calmer. [break][break]

”So now that you know why I’m here, why come sit here with me and play?”

[attr="class","beck"]how generous of pryde to buy in his next bet. he nods, showing the barest form of gratitude.

cards are dealt — again, he doesn't look at his.

Was he mocking him? [break][break]

”I suppose it has been some time since I’ve seen a lot of familiar faces,” he comments simply as he’s been out since after Johto but before Hoenn. He’s back to making the similar bets he was doing before, baiting the others into wanting to put in more.

[attr="class","beck"]the game plays out in front of him and though he throws in bets every now and then, he does so with an air of indifference, as if the outcome of the game matters little to him. all he's here for is pryde.

"i'm sure you'll find time to."

he turns, picks a drink off a tray, and returns.

"some have climbed quite high."

”Without the labs? Perhaps,” he gives one of the others at the table a challenging glance, their natural competitive nature making them bet more. [break][break]

”Yes, I heard your protégé has gone quite far?” he’s heard reports, but its always nice to get a confirmation.

"Funny" [break][break]

Not really, but its not like he knows many of Theo's peoplem heck if Gavin wasn't in his labs he wouldn't even know of him. [break][break]

"Eventually, for now I need to wait for a pick up seeing as I don't have a water pokemon for easy travel," He turns his cards after the final bets were made taking the pot with a full house, and he smiles. "Meanwhile I can just enjoy the company of these fine people as I take their money," he jokes as he plays on the charm which gets a laugh out of the others for this game at least. [break][break]

"Care for another round? Something tells me you'll get a good hand," he questions as he holds up two chips offering to buy the other in again.
