Inteleon steps up this time, having been waiting for its opportunity. What's better is the heat it exudes as it rises into the air on a self-proclaimed roost. Discreetly, it has MEGA-EVOLVED, and a red-dot lingers on the field, chasing whomever is bold enough to step up to bat.[break][break]

At the first sign of movement - or even the Ditto should it have remained, however unlikely, the sniper aims a HYDRO CANNON. It explodes, super-powered, and will leave the Pokemon vulnerable while it recharges.[break][break]

"How long will you stay?"[break][break]

Even now, Emma's tone is guarded. She regards him with less vengeance, less heat than anyone else.

Emma regards him, but this time there is something far more relaxed and normal hidden in her piercing gaze. Something familiar that had felt far away.

"You're lying."

Even if it was a bad hand, Theo would make it work. There was no such thing as a bad hand, merely a bad play or player.

She thumbs the corner of her card over, discreet. Emma inclines her head to Theo this time, waiting to see what he might do.

"Hm."[break][break]

Family. Friends. Lovers. Companions.[break][break]

She doesn't know why she's surprised, or why his statement twists a knife in her gut- but it does.[break][break]

Maybe it's the way he regards her. Maybe it's the way he smiles. Maybe it's the way she is undeniably hooked on him.[break][break]

Right before her very eyes, the small little pile of formless goop rises to meet the POWER WHIP. It absorbs the attack as a result of it's sheer size and strength- it was a carbon copy of her own. When the dust settles, it doesn't settle for long. Emma's Copperajah bellows in pain as it is slammed with a GIGA IMPACT.[break][break]

Which leads to Umbreon sprinting onto the scene. It scales the familiar Copperajah to leap off, attempting to TAKE DOWN into its eye and knock it down a peg or two. Something soft, something that would hurt.[break][break]

"It is good to see you, Bill."

Emma clicks her tongue, fully setting her cards down to reach for her wine.

"I made you squirm, though."

She says this even if she hadn't. Conversation begins to come easier. Evidently, Theo's idea to take her out is working as he had planned.

This was normal. This was what she had never really had but had always wanted.

This was what Gavin had been easing her into before the rug had been pulled out from under her.

She missed him.

"Again?"

Emma's lip twitches, a subtle note of humor. She signals to show their cards. She's sitting at 19.

She probably has a shittier hand. The next card to come is not much better, doing nothing to help her total.

The next card could break her.

But she raises the bet anyway, because Theo doubts her. She doesn't let on, but it amuses her greatly.

"Nervous?"

One more card.

Emma mimics him, betraying no real emotion. Theo catches her attention with a couple words, and she lays her cards down flat.

"You tell me."

Could he read her? Could he see through her tired eyes and her cold exterior? What did he think when he looked at her?

What had changed between them?

Emma raps her knuckles, indicating she'd like another card.

Emma's skin jumps where his hand touches. He is warm and gentle, a guide rather than a demand. Familiarity prompts her to relax, and she does not shy away from him this time.

Unlike the way she had recoiled from his touch on the beach, she lingers.

"I have."

Emma sits nearby, finding a seat close to him. Delicately, she sets her own glass down before glancing back to Theo. More and more lately she seeks out his gaze, even if she is quick to look away.

Emma hesitates, not altogether inclined in taking the lead. But she does so with the wave of his hand, turning her back to him.

The sound of the casino grows the closer they get, the general hubbub and excitement rising steadily. She's never really understood the hype around gambling your money away, but here she is anyway it seems.

The woman glances back at him expectantly before looking away and into the crowd. Her attention wanders, distracted by the sights and sounds.

"You? Have fun?"

But it isn't a 'no'. She tilts her glass back to her lips, steals a sip, and smooths her napkin onto the table in front of her.

Slowly but surely, she starts to rise to her feet. The heels he's picked out are not well worn, likely brand new. It is impressive that he knew her size. Both items fit like a glove.

And flattering.

Her glass is lifted with her and she inclines her head toward the casino.

"Not in places like this."

Emma peers at him from over the lip of her glass. His sinking shoulders and relaxed disposition is jarring to see, but she finds it easier and easier to slip out of her own tense mask.

She holds out her now-empty glass to him to refill. The sound of liquid sloshing into the container is soothing.

Emma exhales softly in sync with the clink of the glasses. At her word, his smile returns, and although she doesn't offer one in return, it takes more effort than she realizes to stay neutral.

And instead of 'I'll try', the man offers her a promise. Emma pulls her glass away and finds warmth in her chest.

She brings her glass to her lips and sips.

Behind them, somewhere deeper in the restaurant, music continues to play. Even further, the sound of the casino leaks in as well.

"It isn't strange. It's good."

Before sipping, Emma pulls the glass from her lips to hold it out to him.

"Keep smiling, Theo. It looks good on you."
