“’Down to a few hundred thousands’,” Femke repeated, her brows rising high on her forehead. “That is high. Those are the big bets.” Surely someone would start using 500K chips but they weren’t talking about pennies anymore! She looked at the woman for a moment. Her face was familiar but she couldn’t put a name on it… maybe knowing her name would have helped Femke to understand the way the woman viewed money. ( ** @tvkla )
to tekla, the woman needs no introduction. the face of every member of the family that had ultimately cut france down in belgium and given pause to the delusions of one certain croÿ family member will be burned into her brain for years to come “ oh, the card game. in which the objective is to get your hand as close to 9 as possible. ” the smile she gives femke when the other princess draws within earshot, stills some. “ they are big, for most of us. soon, they’ll be playing things like yachts and summer homes, does that happen in china as well ? ” [ @yicamilla ]
Seeing Tekla, Gahye and Femke all together, was too tempting. She was drawn to the discussion. “ Baccarat is such a difficult game. ” A bit too risky for Louise who was not a gambler. “ James Bond wins in movies but in reality the casino wins most of the time.” To nobody’s surprise. “ I wouldn’t mind winning a new holiday home though.” But for that, she would have to actually be playing.

“ hmm ? ” was it a large sum ? maybe she had calculated the amount incorrectly. no matter how aware she was of the fact that 100,000 euros was a very different sum from 100,000 yuans, the shock value of such sum had no way of reaching gahye. “ we are not reckless with our belongings. ” not the same way as these people were. “ i have never witnessed a game where someone would have been desperate enough to use non-liquidated funds. ” well, she hadn’t heard of one at least. she had never seen a real game.
