Atlantis Resort - Tuesday [Nightlife]

Once the sun had gone down at Atlantis, it was time for the real fun to begin. The DJs had their music prepared, the bar was fully restocked, and the casino was more than ready to take everyone's money. Tonight would not be the night to go to bed early...unless you had someone to join you.

Mat glanced up and grinned. "I like dice."

"It might be more accurate to say that they like you," Helen said dryly, but she was still smiling.

"I think it might be a case of mutual admiration," Mat decided. "Do you play?"

She shook her head. "Gambling isn't something the priests approved of."

"And they aren't here," Mat said, handing out the dice. "Try it."

Helen laughed and took the dice, looking them over carefully. "And I just throw them?"

"Well, onto the table, not at anyone," Mat said, smiling. "Yes. Sevens and elevens are good. Twos are not."

"I had figured the table part out," Helen said with a shy smile. She took a breath, concentrated and tossed the dice.

And then was oddly too nervous to look.

"You have to look at them," Mat said teasingly. "They aren't going to explode."

And there was a five and a two. "That's what I was supposed to get, yes?" she said with a smile.

"It was," Mat said, applauding.

She blushed. "I didn't do anything except throw them."

"See? There's nothing to it," Mat replied.

Well, there were a few hundred people in the casino who would probably say otherwise...

She raised an eyebrow at him. "I think perhaps luck had a great deal to do with it."

"Maybe a bit," Mat admitted. He'd never ended a night behind in dice.

Helen handed the dice back to them. "I think I'll leave this to the master," she said with a smile. "Kianah and I are content to watch your skill with the dice."

"Kianah?" Mat repeated.

Helen blushed and showed him the barely palm-sized creature. "My... pet. Hinate suggested I should get a companion and, well... this just seemed right."

Mat blinked. "What is it?" he asked carefully.

"A fennex fox," Helen said, offering him the little creature. "A desert animal originally. She's just a baby, but she'll only grow to weigh about a pound and a half."

Oh, the fox was going to stay right where it was.

"I'm used to foxes getting a little larger than that," he said with a tiny smile.

Helen ducked her head, looking uncertain, and tucked Ki back away into her pocket. "I've never seen any type of fox before," she admitted.

Mat's experience had been with the foxy folk on the other side of the door in Rhuidean who cheated and tried to kill him, so he wasn't a huge fan at the moment.

"There's a game at home called Snakes and Foxes," Mat said. "A boy I know is obsessed with it."

"I've never heard of it," Helen said thoughtfully. "Though I am most familiar with snakes. They are very common back home and can be quite troublesome."

Mat made a face. "I don't like them much either, and that was before I spent time in the Waste where every step could kill you."
