    "High-risk, high-return..." Aventurine mutters to himself as he watches the roulette spin with a knowing smile on his lips. He went all in as usual, this time betting on 13 Black. The ball stops there, allowing him to rake in the winnings yet again. His luck is ridiculous, seemingly gifted to him specifically by a higher power and he capitalizes on that to the fullest. "Whew, looks like I win again. Time to take a break." Feigning surprise at the results and getting up from the table, Aventurine leaves the casino area and heads for a hole-in-the-wall establishment, the Dreamjolt Hostelry located in The Reverie hotel. Penacony has no shortness of excitement and ways to occupy oneself, and one of the best ways to do so is having a refreshing drink.

    Upon arrival, he could see why the Nameless were drawn in by it previously. The atmosphere was quiet, the music was chill and the lights not too bright. A few of the more higher class people were lounging at the booths as well. The menu is nothing to scoff at either, crafted by the proprietress and talented drinksmith, Siobahn. She's the type that can take a look at someone and tell exactly what they need. A glass or bottle of Soulglad was extremely common in the Dreamscape since it's Penacony's trademark carbonated product and advertised everywhere, but in this bar it can be used as an ingredient for even better beverages.

    "Let me get a Resplendent Rendezvous, please." He orders as he looks up at the beauty behind the counter. Siobahn is bent over it slightly with a smirk as she rests her elbow on the surface, propping her head up with her hand.

    "Hmm... Can't be just a coincidence that this one in particular looks a lot like you aesthetically, right? Heh. Anyways, coming right up." Siobahn winks and turns to grab a large wine glass off the shelf, setting it down in front of him then putting a good amount of ice in. She then adds some Ice Soulglad followed by Soothing Soda and stirs them a little, pours Practitioner Pepper in the mix and lastly, places a slice of lemon on the edge for decoration. With that garnish on top, the layer of colors come out as yellow, magenta, green and blue. "There you go, pretty boy. Don't go breaking any hearts in front of me now, otherwise I might charge you triple," she jokes, grabbing a cloth to start wiping down a nearby mug.

    "I have enough Credits to cover the price for a glass but I could never afford to make a lady cry," Aventurine replies smoothly, enjoying the interaction and raising the glass in front of him before taking a sip to sample the goods. It's quite the refreshing mix of flavors, enough to make one briefly forget about all the trouble he dealt with prior. Sticking around after all was said and done for a bit of R&R was a really good idea.

    "That goes for you too, my friend. Would you like a drink? It's on me." He offers, glancing at the person sitting next to him with a relaxed look in his eyes and ever-present smile.
