The heavy doors parted for Aventurine, a flash of tailored suit and careless charm. A gold coin danced between his fingers, catching the harsh glare of the underground casino’s lights. He moved through the haze of cigar smoke and laughter, a peacock among pigeons. His eyes, blue and pink and devoid of warmth, scanned the room with predatory precision. The air buzzed with the clatter of chips and the low thrum of desperation. He ignored the dancers and the drunkards, his gaze locking onto a high-stakes poker table. With a practiced, enigmatic smile, he slid into the empty seat, ready to play the game.
