It was down to another demon's bet and Jacen smirked slightly, deciding to use just a little bit of Force persuasion.
"You should bet those kittens."
The male blinked before he nodded. "I will bet these kittens."
They were safe then. Jacen was confident, especially when the next card was dealt, the three of diamonds. A round of low betting went on and he focused mostly on the Kailiff, simply matching the chips when it was his turn. And finally the Jack of clubs was dealt, giving him two pair. And any chance of the flush was gone.
Jacen raised his eyes to meet the Kailiff's, putting every amount of persuasion in that he could. "I raise. You will match my bet with the boy."
There was some confusion from the others around the table as they clearly wondered which boy Jacen was referring to, but the Kailiff merely nodded. Jacen smirked, sure now that he had the right demon and the boy was still in his possession, before placing his cards down.
"Two pair. Kings over Jacks."
There was a long pause before the Kailiff snarled, reaching for a gun.
"I think he lost," Jacen staged whispered to Tenel Ka before he stood, not quite going for the lightsaber, not yet.
