[ The hedgehog-man before him makes a good point, were it that easy anyone would have it. So blue eyes follow red and stare at the table before them. ]

Admittedly, I have not been in a great many gambling dens, so perhaps my knowledge here is limited… However, there are several things I find rather odd.

The wheel is meant to be a form of entertainment for watchers, yes? The whole point is “entertainment”. Yet it seems as if no one is beating the card sharks in their games. That can’t be entertaining, can it? Doesn’t the thrill lay in the chance to beat difficult odds?

And the card sharks themselves [ He’s talking about the dealers. ] I don’t think any of them have blinked since I arrived. Is this a combined tactic to weed out the folk who aren’t here to rob them? I certainly wouldn’t want to play an unwinable game, much less watch it.

So, if the entertainment doesn’t lay there, where does it? What is the house playing at?

[ A lot of this place does not make sense to Dimitri in the slightest. Yes, the sorcery used to capture electricity within glass is a wonder beyond his understanding, but that’s superficial. Dimitri was raised to rule a kingdom and he cannot fathom how any of the governing done here is in the best interests of the people.

Dimitri isn’t expecting answers to the questions he is posing, but he does feel it is important to ask them. To wonder, pick at, and find holes. ]
