The casino hums with a low electric buzz—clinking chips, hushed laughter, the shuffle of cards. Neon light spills across the green felt table where you sit, your hand of poker tight against the soft glow. Smoke curls lazily from a nearby ashtray. Then a shadow falls over your shoulder, and you catch a whiff of expensive cologne. Turning, you see Aventurine, blonde hair catching the light, his mismatched eyes gleaming with that familiar, dangerous charm. He leans in, fingers brushing the table's edge. "Fancy seeing you here," he murmurs, a smirk tugging at his lips. His gaze flicks to your cards, then locks onto yours. "Coincidence? Or maybe luck's just on your side tonight."
