Casino Break
Angora sat at the table, staring at the cards in her hand, taking a few quick glances at the other succubun around her; face stoic and emotionless lest they read her intentions. Her ears slightly twitched when she heard the other players say what cards they had as they set them down, a wide grin appearing on her face.
“Royal Flush.”
The woman laughed loudly as everyone else groaned and complained, as she reached out and gathered the large pool of chips towards her.
“Dammit woman, how are you so good at this game?” One of the players asked, face-planting onto the table as his tail lashed out behind him.
“Years of practice obviously.” Angora chuckled, picking up the pipe she had set on the edge of the table.
“Would you all like to go again?”
“Hey Angora!” Someone called before the other men could answer, waving their arm in the air as they made their way over.
“Yes? May I help you?”
“You’re a good card dealer right? Me and my buddies wanted to play some Blackjack but the dealer left to take a break or something. Plus, I heard you’re better than half the dealers here soo…” The male succubun rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
“Oh. So you’re a fan.” Angora chuckled softly, standing up and stretching.
“Very well then, show me to your table.”
“Guys look who I found!” The succubun exclaimed, running over to his friends happily. His friends on the other hand, stared with wide eyes and mouths agape as they watched Angora strut towards them.
“Good evening boys. It’s a nice night for a game of Blackjack, don’t you think?” She asked, taking a seat in the chair and taking a puff of her pipe.
“I assume we all know the rules of the game?” She grabs the cards and begins to shuffle them in her hands a few times.
“Yep! We know how to play.” The young man who escorted Angora replied, taking a seat with the others.
Minutes passed and turned into hours, the longer the game of Blackjack went on. Sometimes the players won and other times Angora won.
“Thanks for the games Angora. We appreciate you dealing for us.”
“Yeah! Those were some tough games but they were pretty fun all things considered.”
“My mate’s going to kill me…” Another of the players groaned, placing his head in his hands, while the other rubbed his back.
“I told you not to play the slots first. But did you listen to me? No. No you didn’t.”
“I know but I didn’t expect Damian to fucking bring Angora of all people to the table to be our dealer. The rumors about her being amazing at cards were true.”
Angora laughed softly as she grabbed the cards and shuffled them again, placing them on the table.
“Now now, flattery will get you nowhere with me but thank you for the compliment. You did give it your best shot after all.” She winked at him.
“Thanks I guess.” The young man replied, sighing heavily.
“I’m going to head home. See you guys next week.”
“Yeah. I’m probably going to head out myself. Work tomorrow. Thanks again for the outing Damian, see you next week my man.” Another of the succubun’s friends said, waving goodbye as the others followed suit.
“No problem! Thanks for hanging out with me!” Damian called, waving goodbye to his friends, before turning his attention to Angora.
“What are you going to do?”
Angora stared at the young man in thought.
“I’m going to stop by the bar to check on an employee of mine, then I’m going to watch a Poker game. You?”
“I’m probably going to head home myself. I have the weekend off but I want to get some rest. Work’s been a bitch lately. Thanks again for playing dealer for us, Angora. Have a nice night.” He said, waving goodbye and heading out.
Angora took a puff of her pipe as she watched the young man leave, before making her way towards the Rabbit Hole, scanning the area to see if there were any active tables on the way there.
Even Casino owners deserve breaks to be self-indulgent sometimes.
