Nyles emotionless lay looks about. He can cheat with house money all day. He makes a show of rolling and tosses the dice.

"You are?" Yoren asked as he looked out towards the exit to the sept, "Would you care for some company? I'm not much for parties like this. Not when Belric is off, well...doing the deed." He sad, wanting to get some fresh air anyway. Dacey nodded. " 'Course," she said. "I'm not much for parties like this, either." She started leading the way to wherever their assigned rooms were as she still needed a change of clothes. And arrows. She needed to pick up some of those, too. "What d'you think of the city?" she asked as they walked. "It's big...bigger then I thought any city could be." He said honestly as thought on the view he'd had when he walked here of the cityscape. "I've never been this close to the ocean before. Or seen a proper city like this. It's...strange." that was the only word for it. It was a grand city to be sure, but he'd also seen the underbelly of it as well, when some beggars from fleabottom approached him early that day.

Nyles emotionless lay looks about. He can cheat with house money all day. He makes a show of rolling and tosses the dice. They come up 7 and a few gold are taken from the Dondarrion's pile as well as those who were betting against Nyles, to multiply his two coins into four. Daemon slaps him on the back. "See what I told you!" he exclaimed, with what sounded like genuine surprise, as the dice were returned to Nyles to shoot again.

Dice games were outside Violet's realm of experience since they had not been permitted at the motherhouse and none of her friends there had been much interested in illicit games of chance. So she watched for a moment, trying to comprehend the rules. Summoning her courage, since she had to make friends somehow, she decided to make another attempt to get the knight's attention. Moving a bit closer, she said, as loudly as she dared "I heard that a maiden's kiss can bring a man luck when he plays dice." Sseduction 50 (Success. No disposition change.) Bracken did look over now, interest piqued as he glanced up and down Violet's form, as if he had just noticed her standing there. "I have heard the same," he grinned, "Was never one for superstition before the war, but now I'll take every shred of luck I can get."

"Let's see eight," Nyles said dramatically he rolled the dice in his hand to shoot again. He chucks them.

"I wouldn't want to live here, though. Too many people. Too noisy. Too smelly," she said. Certain parts of this city were worse than army camps' latrines. She gave him a side glance as they walked. "Have you been near Harrenhal, by chance? I wonder if it's as much a ruin as people say it is."

"Could I have the dice then, my lord?"

Clearly Nyles had never played Hazard before or he would know that the "main", in this case 7, stayed the same until he "threw out" on a 2, 3, or 12.
The lads nearby gave him strange looks, but those betting with him cheered again when the dice came up 7.
"Looks like we've got a hot shooter!" Daemon exclaimed, as the Dondarrion lad scowled, tossing a few more of his coins into Nyles' pile. The dice were passed back to the squire again.

If you have to be a fall guy best be a pronce's fall guy. "Beginner's luck," he said with false modesty. He tossed again.

"Do what we can," Gareth replied. "Pull some of the personal guard to fill the caps, ensure their rooms are close together, plan overlapping patrols. Still not enough, not for an assassin worth the gold he'd charge to kill a royal." Richard shakes his head "I'll do what anything I can then" he says. He notices Nyles now playing the dice game, but it takes a second for him to recognize the boy. This one was probably the family member he had known least of all of them, but if he was going to be the Kings Squire, he would likely be the only family nearby now except for Alice. He pardoned himself from Gareth and moved back into the feast. He next would approach Ser Aubrey Ambrose.

Bracken asked, feigning ignorance, and wine clearly having made him bold. "You said a maiden's kiss would bring a gambler luck and the dice will surely not appreciate it as much as I."

About half the crowd went wild, the other half scowling at their lost coin and sudden turn of luck. This time when Nyles picked up the dice, Dondarrion's hand shot out to grip his wrist.

Only an utter ass would store cheating dice with the same hand he picked them up. Nyles looked about the table. "Aren't you supposed to buy me a drink or swear some oaths to me first? I think the High Septon is still around."

"You said a maiden's kiss would bring a gambler luck and the dice will surely not appreciate it as much as I." "Oh." She realised that she should have been more clear in her intentions. Her cheeks flushed immediately (she needed to stop blushing every time she spoke to a man!) and she lowered her eyes for an instant. She had to think fast. Though he was quite attractive so perhaps kissing him wouldn't be so bad. "But, ser, how can the dice be lucky if they don't touch my lips? I should think there would be a greater effect that way."

"Drop them," Dondarrion said, tightening his grip on the wrist until it hurt, staring daggers at Nyles. The Blackforts had a knack for making friends, it seemed.
