Not really into guy talk, that one but anyyyyyyyyyyway, new me knows how to keep his mouth shut. Barely a talker now. Deep well of secrets I'll take to my grave probably."

At the very least there were a few things his girlfriend would eventually die without ever knowing. Sometimes, to maintain a relationship, lies were necessary. Absolutely.

Kodee leaned over, trying to get a look at his boss's cards after he was given his own. He'd said it was easy but that didn't make the boy know what to do anymore than before.

"I win, yeah, unless I need to lose to earn more. I'm not fussed as long as the galleons roll in. It depends on the pit though." Sometimes, he was under no illusion of winning...at all. "I'm getting better. Only cracked two ribs last week. Haven't gotten a puncture in a while--good thing, too. Kenzie worries. Less injuries, less worry, we both win." As to how many galleons. "It all depends when you're looking for a profit. What pit you visit, who you put your money on. I happen to know there's a major match coming this weekend. I'm keeping out." He....wasn't looking for the kind of damage that would deal him. Had other plans that would have to be cancelled after. "But I know where my galleons are going. You in?"

Sure he didn't. Fletcher didn't want more silver hairs in his beard but here he was, being assured of really nothing at all by his personal assistant. The admission about his loosey goosey younger lips just made Fletcher sigh. Kodee was... a rambler. "Probably," he echoed the younger man sarcastically. "Let's hope for the both of us that you do take those with you." And hopefully it wasn't an early grave for the boy, either.

Right, back to the card game. Fletcher quickly pressed his cards flat to the table so Kodee couldn't see. "It's easy, champ. You're just trying to get to 21. Sometimes you need another card from the dealer to help you get there." Speaking of, he flashed her a winning grin, and tapped the table to signal that he wanted a hit. "Other times, you just hold what you have and wait to see if you beat the house."

He'd pick it up, right? Fletcher didn't wanna lecture all day. Watch the kid have beginner's luck and get dealt an ace and a king or something. Psh.

"Ah," hmm, now this was an interesting hobby, the fighting pits thing. And it align with Fletcher's interests in making money by any means necessary. "Alright, I'm in. Can't hurt to check it out, so long as you do keep those lips sealed." He eyed the boy again. "What cards did ya get?"

Would he fall for that? Hehe.
