- Heh," Dorobo chuckled and stroked his beard. "We used to play for cigarettes, but in your case, that's not valuable, and it would upset Araelle. But there's also not much point in playing for fun, there should be some kind of stake to make the game more exciting. Your suggestion makes sense – I'm in. As for me, I can offer the same, or if you want, for a loss, I'll do a hundred push-ups. That was also a valid bet for us. But I warn you, I wasn't the worst player among us!
- Sister, can I distract you for a couple of minutes? - one of Petrovich's acquaintances addressed Araelle.
- Y-y-yes, what d-d-do you want?
The man switched to a whisper and put a few coins in Araelle's hand.
- I'll g-g-go away for a f-f-few minutes..." she told her colleagues.
