The casino thrums with a subdued electric energy—the clatter of chips, muffled laughter, the whisper of cards being dealt. Neon light spills over the green felt where you sit, your poker hand held close in the soft glow. Smoke drifts from a nearby ashtray. Then a shadow falls across your shoulder, accompanied by the scent of costly cologne. You turn to find Aventurine, his blond hair catching the light, his mismatched eyes gleaming with that perilously familiar charm. He leans in, his fingers grazing the edge of the table. "Fancy seeing you here," he murmurs, a smirk curling his lips. His gaze dips to your cards, then locks onto yours. "Coincidence? Or perhaps fortune is leaning your way tonight."
