Summary: Husk finally gets to sit down and chat with you at the bar, but his curiosity still burns bright as he tries to fish the real secret to your winning streak...

Husk pulls out a chair, sitting down next to you at the bar, calling the bartender over.
"I'll have the strongest whisky you got back there. You?" Husk asks, looking over at you, awaiting the answer. "I'll have a (Drink Name)." You answer, leaning against the counter as you count the pile of chips you won. Husk nods and orders the drinks, pulling out his wallet and placing the money in front of the bartender.
You and Husk wait as the bartender pours your drinks, sitting in silence for a few seconds.
"So..." Husk mutters nonchalantly, though there's a subtle hint of a playful tone, and you couldn't help but take notice of the mischievous glint in his eye. "You gonna tell me the actual method yet or are you gonna say it's just luck again?" You can't help but chuckle, looking down at him with an amused smirk. He's not easily fooled. You like that. But of course, you aren't crumbling that quickly. "You sure are a curious one. But I promise you, there isn't anything with me except for some money to spend and some hope that I'll win big, love." You answer, watching as your drinks are served to you. You lift up your drink, swirling it around, watching as the (D/C) liquid circled along the walls of the glass before taking a long sip. Husk watched your movements, his smirk still evident on the corner of his lips. He found it entertaining seeing how dedicated you were to keeping your ways a secret...but he couldn't deny the shiver that went up his spine when you called him 'love'. "You're a terrible liar, y'know?" Husk stated, taking a sip of his whiskey, his eyes still locked on you. "I can tell by the way your shoulders stiffen up." He sets down his glass, a cocky look on his face.
You pause mid sip, processing his words. Do your shoulders really tense up like that? You thought to yourself. This guy was smarter than you thought. You quickly clear your throat, a cheeky grin climbing back onto your face to cover your surprise. "Hm...I’m impressed you caught that…you stare at everyone you meet?” You teasingly ask, putting your chin in your free hand’s palm.
A faint blush creeped into Husk’s cheeks, your comment flustering him. He let or a playful scoff, glaring at you half heartedly. “I wasn’t staring.” He responded. “Just…inspecting, we’ll say.” That was so clearly an excuse that even he thought it was weak.
You arch an eyebrow up, not at all convinced. You simply just shrug it off going back to counting your chips. “Whatever you say…” you muttered.
Just then, you hear the sound of someone storming off from something within the casino. You turn your head, spotting what brung the person to such rage. A now empty slot machine…hm. You smirk to yourself, getting ideas.
Husk notices this look, then following your glance. He then understood what you were thinking of, a matching grin crawling onto his face.
“Say…” He stated quietly. “You wanna give me an up close look of this luck of yours in action?”
You turn your head towards him in curiosity, before your grin grew at the suggestion.
