It was slow, gradual and not all that pleasant to come down from his trance-like state and into a wary realization of what was happening. The gunshots had nearly deafened him. He'd never been that close to them before, after all. Either way, what he needed was some luck and a place to do it.

Luckily he found a lone blackjack table which put him at ease. A transition into doing everything he had to do again. "Deal." He said simply, looking up to the dealer and he was handed two cards. He gently pulled them up and stared. Not the worst hand, but not a winner. He needed winners.

"Hit me." He said it with some hesitation. That sureness he knew from before wasn't exactly where he was now. But then a Jack hit his pile and he had to double take to really believe it was there. "...Blackjack." He said under his breath, staring at the dealer as 10 coins were slid over to him. Luck or skill, whatever it was it helped.

Would he dare to try it again?

Kaethus tried again and he regretted it. The 18 hit the table and he groaned. That was terrible odds. To get an Ace, Two or Three drawn with all those cards. He could do a lot, he couldn't tempt himself to lose more coins than that. He slid 2 over and forfeited the specific match. He hated giving up but Aaron had tried to tell him to know when to quit. Maybe it was about time to listen to his big brother.

He sat and went ahead for another round. This time it was a 19 off the spot and he smiled at it, watching as another 10 coins got pushed his way. Kaethus sighed a little, feeling a bit better about the chunk of change in his pocket. He was getting slightly closer, and that was enough for him.

He'd taken a short recess and came back to smirk at the dealer. "Notice anything different about me?" He retorted, looking at the man. "My jewelry is gone now." He added. It felt better to be able to breathe of course, but now he had another job. Getting Aaron free of this hellhole.

"Deal." He said. Staring at the cards as they hit the table. Much to his delight he already had a 20 and smiles as some coins came over the table. "Let's see if this will last." He said to himself, staring at the cards and back at the dealer.

The cards came down and he stared at them. An 11 of all things. He mumbled but didn't seem discouraged. It could be worked through.

17. It was one of those numbers that he didn't trust in the least bit at all. Kaethus shook his head and folded. He'd have to do better on his next game.

He wanted to keep trying though. So he got dealt again and stared at the cards. Again he was starting off low.

"Hit." It was getting a little mindnumbing to just say it when he had the low number, but the card was dealt and a little smirk appeared on his face. "Blackjack." He said again. It kinda sounded like that one Jumanji movie when he said it. But either way he got his earnings and sat in the chair. It was a good start, really. Not enough for a person though.

It was bound to happen eventually. Kaethus busted himself and shook his head. He couldn't let it get to him though. It was almost becoming obsession. He hadn't seen Aaron in the past day, didn't know where he was. Looking for him would surely just lead to the casino. He had to get him out.

He was still going for it but it was an 8. "Oye." He let out. Low numbers really ticked him off.

"Hit!" He nearly roared over the table, watching the Jack hit the table and he smiled. "That's what I'm talking about!" Another win but it wasn't that much still. His eyes began to wander. Was Aaron already here? What about the piercings guy?

Another hand dealt. He felt he was on a pretty good roll, or a dumb luck streak. Either way he looked at his cards. Not so bad this time.

Of all things he could have gotten when he hit it was a 2. Useless. He pointed for another card.
