[OTA] Just another game

He'd been laying low, keeping quiet for...several days, really, though he'd started giving serious consideration to Ceiro's offhand idea about a museum for the assorted in-storage artifacts he'd spent way too many years organizing and cataloging. And that was odd for him, to be giving credence to the ideas of a man he'd been planning to replace as long as he'd been king. But there it was.

For now, however, Jordan was down at the Four Suits, alone. He had bourbon, though not enough to get him drunk, of course; a pool cue and the table to himself. It was a good way to deal with some of the recent stress without looking like he was dealing with the recent stress - there was something satisfying about the sound of the balls knocking together, but to all the world it looked like he was just playing a game. And honestly, in a lot of ways? Jordan was always playing some sort of game.

"I kinda am used to being in the minority, y'know." But she doesn't look away. She smiles, more amused than anything, "But didn't you give up on this crusade hmm... when you were 20?"

"And I have heard each and everyone of those attempts of adulthood in the real of romantic context since then, y'know." She looks curious for a moment, trying to study his reaction. "Though they have more bittersweet endings than sour."

"And if I really thought you were, this conversation wouldn't have gotten to this point. I fucking hate beating around the Bush." She keeps her gaze on him, "So... May I take you out for dinner, Jordan?"
