Poppy was content not to watch Niyol as he approached, like she knew he eventually would, but that was not to say amusement did not curl at one corner of her mouth. She continued her shuffling as he leaned against the table, cards clapping noisily as they fell into a bridge. When he spoke her hands paused, and she tilted her head slightly to roll dark eyes upwards.
She liked the look of him, that was certainly not in question. Easily possessing all the features to make someone pleasant to look at, but there was an arrogance about him that Poppy was not accustomed to dealing with. Sure, she'd been unwilling victim to waves of passing braggadocio, but his was different. He was not trying to impress, per se, he was just impressive.
"That depends," she replied, easy and casual. "Some play for time with me." She sounded dubious, as idle hands toyed with the cards, as if she didn't think he would be interested in her time. "A hand won is fifteen minutes gained, a hand lost is fifteen minutes lost. If you haven't won any of my time, you have to pay your losses by buying me a drink." Her gaze remained level on him as she spoke, and did not deviate to the simple tricks she initiated thoughtlessly.
"Those who are not interested in my time, but think they are particularly skilled at blackjack will play for drinks, or cigarettes, room and board…" she trailed off and ceased touching the cards to push curls behind her ear, they sprung forward instantly. "House loses on a tie," she continued, a glimpse of a pout indicated that she did not like that particular rule.
"A double down works as one would expect. Fifteen minutes turns to thirty, one shot turns into two, and so on," she waved a hand to indicate an 'et cetera' sort of motion. One brow perked upwards as that roguish curl reappeared. "Might as well do something while you wait, don't you think?"
