Lanick walked into the Rearing Stallion in the early hours of its busy time. The crowd had not yet arrived. Lanick smirked. It was nice to not feel rushed. Though his body felt odd...a bit empty in a way. Shaking his head from his thoughts, he moved to a table nearby, taking a seat and resting his feet on the table. Delicately, the man removed a cigar from his case and place it between his lips. When he struck the match, it lit almost immediately. Lanick's gaze locked onto the fire for some time, as if in remembrance. Then, he lit his victory cigar. A new life begins now.
Looking around the room, Lanick waited for the crowd to shuffle in. As always, Lanick was in the mood for a game and the Rearing Stallion was the best place to find one, usually. As he sat blowing smoke rings into the air, Lanick's favorite waitress came his way. He offered a flirtatious wink to Carmen Mistra and asked her to bring him a bottle of wine, tipping her two coins for her trouble. Lanick reached into his pocket, pulling out a single die. As he rotated the die in his hand, thoughts passed through his head. Thoughts of his past and thoughts of his future. The plan was forming. But for now, a game was what he needed. And so, as the crowd began to shuffle in, he offered a friendly smile and a wave to the ones that seemed interesting in hopes that they would join him and life could resume.
