Eyes of bright star-fire squinted and narrowed, happy. "One," he counted aloud, as he rolled his right wrist and produced a coin in his hand, 'Two," he said as he gestured long and sharp with his left and out popped a second.
Olen's eyes went wide as the twinkle of new gold caughth is eye, and he stared as he sipped from his drink.
"Three," he called as he spread a second from behind the coin pinched in his right,
Even
Nora looked one from behind the beer mugged clutched in her hands.
"Four!" he called out as he flipped the coin from his right with a bright ping of his thumb that sent one coin sailing towards his left and saw a new coin there in his hand, He clapped his hands together quick, caught the flying coin with a loud slap and a metal clink, and when he pulled them apart, "Five," he said with a smokey glee. Five coins fell from his hands and rang bright against the counter as they gleamed with candle light, bright with fire.
Nora was wide eyed, and Olen grumbled, and finished off his drink. After the long gulp, he wiped his lips clean and stood up. "I'm getting to old for this shit," he muttered. "I'ma go get some air with that other one," he anounced with a wave of his meaty hand. "Be back in a moment."
The Jester took up the bottle, uncorked it with long dainty fingers, and brought it up to the chin of his mask, where he pealed the seal ever so forward with his other hand. An eerie, pale blue and while light seemed to pour from the space beneath the mast, ever so feint. He raised the mouth of the bottle up to the crack in the mask, and he inhaled, a deep and sharp breath.
A laugh, excited and giddy. "Titillating," he said, voice electric. "How did you come about this bottle, bar-tender?" his voice seemed to purr, and he poked the bottle into the glimmering void beneath his mask. He tilt his head back, and sipped from the bottle.
Should anyone pear into the space revealed by his doing so, they might see a trace of his jaw, and skin that was dappled, dark with stars and hues of blue, like the night sky before a long winter night.
