Hoenn, Slateport, specifically, might be the armpit and the biggest dumpster fire shithole of this region, but she was attached.

The city nightlife had sunk its claws in her and held fast. Although the beer was cheap, it was good, and the fine dining available kept your spirits up.

Tonight, Remi found herself sneaking into a high-priority casino. The smell of cash and wine and expensive cigars chokes the air, but it smells like profit. With the help of her handy-dandy little Porygon, picked up from Rocket as a little 'thank-you' gift for her hard work and investments.

And now, here she was, putting the little bastard to good use. The Pokemon was pretty skilled at tampering with electronics and rigging the slot machines in her favor. Her bank account numbers kept going up and up, and the lack of supervision and attention to detail kept her from getting caught.

At the present, the woman leans against the bar nursing a glass of whiskey. The golden liquid warms her lips and puts a friendly, lazy smile on her face.

The blinding lights of Slateport's Casino was enough to steer Felix far away form it's clutches. It was obnoxiously loud, overly expensive, and full of the slimmest people Hoenn has to offer. Yet, the eldest Gallagher had no choice but attend it's festivities tonight.

Ever since joining the crime syndicate, Rocket has been up his ass about "proving his loyalty" and "showing his worth". Apparently, even the most qualified resumes weren't enough nowadays, and recruits were expected to show more than just printed lines on a white piece of card stock.

Today's test had been to remind some unfaithful members of who they were supposed to be aligned with. If you asked him, he'd say it was a shit job with a shit price tag attached to it. Alas, there was no saying no to Daddy Rocket.

Weary and irked, the man had approached the bar to get himself a glass of relief. "An Old Fashion." He requested. As he waited, his thin fingers gingerly worked on the buttons of his collar. Then they worked on his sleeves, rolling them both up above his elbows.

"Mmm.. I do like a man with taste."

She laughs, a low chuckle, before lifting her own drink to her lips.

And, naturally, she eats up the man as he works the buttons on his collar and sleeves. Perhaps she would be more subtle, but the warm thrum of alcohol and confidence keeps her loose and fast.

"Long day at the office?"

The casino noise seems to fade away, and she even waves off a drunken man attempting to be sweet on her. Her attention, for now, appears to be completely on the man with the Old Fashion and his sleeves rolled up.

The woman's coos fell on deaf ears.

Wordless and without a hint of expression, he accepted the Old Fashion from the Bartender, took his place beside the woman, and brought the glass to his lips.

Its warmth was immediate and welcomed. "...Basically," He flatly stated, eyes pointed forward, deeply staring at the brightly colored wheels of debt (or possible fortune). Unlike the shining confidence the woman's drink brought her, Felix's heart was left the same as always: quiet, reserved, and allergic to small talk.

Remi's smile only grows in devilish intent the closer he gets. He leans against the bar beside her, nurses his drink, stares straight past her and into the sea of broke beggars desperate to make back their wasted fortune.

"Care to join me for a game?"

She takes a slow sip of her drink, peering at him carefully over the lip of her glass. Though he shows little to no interest in her or her idle conversation, she does not appear discouraged. Why?

Because he's perfect.

He could easily be the pawn to protect herself: the queen.

The request hung in the air for a moment as Felix lightly rattled his drink.

The ice within it clattered against the glass, causing the dark liquid to slosh between each cube, like an unsettled ocean. His dim eyes then flickered over to the woman.

"Depends on the game."

Roulette? Blackjack? Poker? If it brought a spark of interest, he might consider it. As long as it didn't include the highly decorated slot machines, which had replaced the typically tropical fruits with different shapes of ornaments.

She can see his gears turning, albeit slowly. He parses her request, clinks the ice around in his glass for atmospheric intensity, and eventually, after a long, drawn out pause, he responds.

And with that, her smile grows. Always bold and never shy, Remi sidles up to him with raised brows and a perfect pout.

"What do you play?"

She brings her drink back up to her lips to sip, though she leans in just far enough that they could almost be touching. Seduction was all part of the game she played as well, even if he chanced not to notice or care.

"I'll let you pick."

Over her shoulder and deeper into the casino, someone shouts hurrah for a man named Cyrus for having won three games of roulette in a row.

An unwavering dull look remained in his eyes. Even when the brazen woman leaned her body inches away from his, Felix only averted his gaze back towards the machines. 

He pondered the choices for a few moments.

Then, with a decision clear on his mind, he brought the glass to his lips, took one last sip of his drink and gave  his answer: "Is blackjack fine with you?"

If agreed upon, he would lift himself from the booth stool  and await for the other to follow.

"Blackjack it is, love."

She smiles, her expression predatory and sneaky. The woman knocks back the rest of her drink, feels it warm the surface of her cheeks and the end of her nose. She follows after him, setting her glass on the bar to be left behind. Along the way, stolen glances and unspoken agreements are made.

It wouldn't just be Remi getting lucky this evening.

He mimicked her movements - though much more rigidly - and finished off his own drink. Then, with an impassive expression, he led the woman to the nearest blackjack table.



All-too-knowing glances and nods were the methods of conversation throughout the casino floor, but that wasn't anything out of the ordinary in Slateport City. Felix turned a blind eye to it all as he took his place along one of the red chairs set around the table.



He gave the dealer a nod of acknowledgment before turning to his side and, for the first time, instigated some conversation.



"Do you frequently come here?"

Remi follows with a sway of her hips. Her little black dress clings, a little window of opportunity shown with each stride as poised calves peek behind the elegant split of fabric. Truly, she's stunning, if only the man of her current affection thought to look.

No matter, she was here to win it big - taking him home later was a bonus objective. But optional.

Where Felix sits, Remi hovers by his side. She would be his 'good luck charm', choosing to sit out and pay him the utmost attention. And, while she did so, she would be pulling puppet strings and ensuring that the winnings went to him -- when convenient and inconspicuous. After all, winning too much was suspicious, too.

Eventually, Felix turns to speak to her, and one warm hand presses gently into his shoulder to offer a subtle squeeze.

"Only when I'm feeling particularly playful."

What an odd answer, he had thought.

These types of responses always left the bodyguard dumbfounded. Weaseling out the hidden meanings behind each cryptic word wasn't exactly a strength of his, so...he simply chose not to engage with it.

"Ah." His pale eyes returned to the table without another word. Soon, three more faceless men flocked to the empty seats to their. The game could officially begin.

The dealer was a stoic woman with broad shoulders and a firm frown. She took no bullshit from the guests around her, meeting each inappropriate coo with an eyebrow arch that blankly stated her willingness to fight. She was the type of person Felix preferred-- easy to read, just like him. The game's start was marked by the thud of cards shuffling into one another.

Felix fished out a wad of cash from his pocket, exchanging it for $100 dollars worth of chips. It wasn't much, but he didn't have the luxury to afford more right now, so it would have to do. The dealer then dealt out the cards to each guest.

"..."


An Ace and an eight stared back at him, while only a three faced the dealer's side of the table.

Remi chuckles, amused by his lack of understanding. It simply meant she had to be far more forward in her questions and answers. It's why, once they're settled and comfortable, she leans in next to him to whisper.

"So.. is there any chance I can take you home after this?"

And, as promised, Remi manages to rig the game in their favor. She does it subtle, losing and winning in order to make it look real. But by the end of the night, Felix would be coming home with a lot more than $100.

(No title)
Fingers drumming against the plush counter top, Felix's gaze dropped down to the pair of cards in front of him. As the dealer went around the table, asking the typical "hit or pass", his 'lucky charm' cradled his ear and whispered to him.

"So.. is there any chance I can take you home after this?"

His eyes glanced over to her; they traced the outline of her jawline to her collar bone to her lips.

"Hit or pass, sir?"

"Hit." His finger tapped the the table. The dealer obliged to his response, dealing him another card, but his gaze didn't falter. It remained still, patiently taking it's time to notice every detail this persistent woman had to offer. Then, before moving his eyes back onto his hand, he whispered back a response, "Sure."

The card he had been dealt was an unsurprising 2 of hearts.

The rest of the game didn't stray far from their first round. Excluding a couple of losses, Felix slowly accumulated small pool of chips that ultimately added up to around 3k. Feeling bored with the situation, he signaled to the dealer that he was leaving the table. She nodded, finished shuffling the deck that was in her hands, then swiftly exchanged his chips for cash.

A few irritated faces stared back at the pair as they prepared to leave. Some even took it upon themselves to loudly whisper their unsavory thoughts, but none of that mattered to him. Not until they began prodding at the woman as well. Sexist and hate filled comments dripped from their saliva heavy mouths, forcing anyone within the area to listen in.

Felix grunted loud enough to garner their attention. Then, with a pair of venomous eyes, he coiled his arm around the woman's waist and led her away from the table. Once they grow far enough from the table, he muttered an soft, "lead the way."

The attention he gives to her is amusing, really, and is expressed in the subtle uptilt of her lips. She inclines her head, curiosity and intrigue waiting patiently while he muses over her request. Eventually, he murmurs the response she wants, and her fingers brush against his cheek briefly to note her affirmation.

On the way out, the sexist and hateful comments fall on deaf ears. Remi had come here to get paid and get laid-- and so far, she was the one winning both tickets. His arm curls around her waist, a thoughtful approach given how cold and aloof he had been, but one she appreciates nonetheless.

She leads the way with a sly smile, venturing down to the hotel suites within the building. The door clicks behind them and she wastes no time in pressing him against the door once they're inside.

"I really like your poker face."

Her smile grows, amused by her attempt at a joke, before she curls a finger and begs him to come hither.
