Silas puts on a grin, maintaining his playful act for the casino. The act is feeling a bit more natural now, possibly due to the place's atmosphere. "Haha, no need to be so serious about it. Let's join the crowd, have some fun. If we meet the guy or pick up some extra cash, that's even better." As he speaks, Silas begins to walk toward one of the roulette tables that looks busier than the others.

"Privacyyyy." She's not personally mad at the man. Leslie knows he's just performing his tasks. Understanding that does not mean she's incapable of being annoyed. Another visual sweep of her area before dealing with him.
Leslie makes her mood clear with a full CARE BEAR™ NO CARE™ STARE.

SoleilDeftly navigating your way through the crowd, you do indeed find a smaller table with a spot open. But, even better, you spot the person you're trying to find. He seems to have parked himself in the corner, scanning over the players of the tables nearest to him. Silas and ThoronWalking towards the busier table, it seems as if someone had a fairly good run today, as he's walking away with a big grin on his face. There's still a fair group of people crowded around the wheel, though, so you should have a good amount of people to observe. ŷƢŕơŎƏƚƛƝơƢŎƗƛƞƓƠƑƓƞƢƗƐƚƓŚŎƐƣƢŎƢƖƓŎƘƣƐƗƚƏƜƢŎƞƓƠơƝƜŎơƓƓƛơŎƢƝŎƐƓŎƥƗƜƑƗƜƕŎƓƤƓƠƧŎơƝŎƝƔƢƓƜŜØ Leslie"Uh, y-yes, of course, miss," he says, as he leaves. Some of the closest patrons look over, and their reactions range from befuddlement to amusement.

Getting Silas' attention, Thoron motions to the "lucky winner", and whispers, "That one, he's in pain. Want to follow him?". Ideally, they would have a way to alert Soleil and Leslie, too... Maybe they would round them up, if he displayed any more symptoms.
Until he and Silas reached a consensus, though, he would just take care not to lose sight of the suspect.

Silas hadn't paid close attention to the winner's state, but he turns back to look at the man as soon as Thoron mentions pain. The medic figures that treating someone's injuries would be a good way to encourage them to give up a bit of information. After coming up with an excuse for them to turn back around, Silas replies to Thoron. "Ahh we've lost the ladies again. No point in coming as a group if we're all going to split up. Guess we should go look for them." He's not whispering back, but his voice is markedly quieter than it was before.
After scanning the room as more of a gesture than a search attempt, Silas starts following the man Thoron pointed out.

Soleil looks at the man for a moment thinking. Should she go get the others when she didn't really know anything? Should she just walk up and say hello? She didn't really like the idea of walking up to a creepy guy, so that idea got tossed out quickly. After thinking for a moment, she decided to sit at a table and see if he'd notice or anything. Either way, it was a good spot to keep an eye on him.
"What are we playing?" She asked as she sat down.

With Generic McWaiterface defeated, Leslie returns to her datapad. Maybe she should have been nicer, but the man interrupted her watching a funny video of a guy falling down a flight of stairs and into a box, which took him down another two flights. And that's bothersome. The interruption, not the video.
She also wonders if her location will actually bring up any clues; she could watch the front door all day and not notice anyone because there was no one to notice. And it would definitely start getting suspicious if she came back tomorrow just to sit again. And bothersome. Maybe they'd let her sleep here at this booth if it came to that....

Silas and Thoron
The man seems to be moving as a jaunt, so there doesn't seem to be any risk of him getting away if you do something quickly. He does seem to be headed towards the exit, though.
Soleil
"Well, this one's plucky," says one of the other players, an older woman, with gray hair. "Sitting down without knowing what the game is. I like you. We're playing Texas Hold 'em... but you'd better be good if you expect to win. Still wanting in?"
Leslie
Shortly, the waiter returns with your drink, a brilliant blue concoction. "Here you are, miss. Please inform, er, one of us in these uniforms if you need anything else, or are done and are ready to pay." He swiftly disappears again, seeming to remember the 'privacy' request.

"Sounds fun!" Soleil said looking around at the table. She was pretty sure she should ask how to play but she didn't want to look TOO new. Plus what if they laughed or sidnt let her in. "Sure I'm in. Texas Mold Them is my jam."

On seeing that the man is heading for the exit, Silas picks up his pace and approaches the man, clapping him on the shoulder. After briefly sizing up his health, Silas begins talking to the man in a fast and concerned tone. "Hey, are you alright? You look pretty rough. I'm a doctor, normally wouldn't bring work here, but I couldn't leave you alone. Let's get you out of the crowd and get some water too." As he continues in a slightly rambling fashion, Silas starts to lead the man toward the nearest men's bathroom.

Watching from a distance, Thoron doesn't interfere as Silas persuades the man. When they enter the restroom, he'll wait for a moment before following suit, scanning the people nearby to see if they were paying a little too much interest in the duo.

Leslie let's the man leave in silence, and the glass of Oran wine untouched. For about two minutes. Afterward, she instinctively sips it because that's basically how she's survived her whole life. Food and drink in front of her gets consumed, otherwise she kinda forgets. No matter the taste she'd continue sipping it now and then, and nearing her point of catch up, would shift more of her focus to her actual job of watching for shady whatevers doing the things in the place she can see.

Soleil "That's good to hear."
Going around the table from his left, the man in the casino uniform deals out two cards facedown to everyone. Soleil can see hers have the number 8, and an equal amount of red diamonds on it, and one with a 7, and red hearts. Going around, in the same order as the dealing, the first man taps the table with his fist, and then the woman to Soleil's right says "Open with 500," sliding some chips towards the center. Silas and Thoron"Wait... W-what?" The man seems bewildered, even as Silas is subtly steering his path towards the bathroom. "Yeah, y-yeah, I'm fine. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't need a doctor!" He seems to panic a bit at that thought. LeslieThe wine has a rich and well-described taste, although you can't quite put your finger on it. ...well, one part of it probably comes from the fact that it isn't synthetic. Gain an Oran Berry digestion buff. Woo. Also get a bill for 2000 credits. This stuff isn't cheap.

Soleil looks at her cards and waits a moment. If it looks like people waiting for her she looks at the chips, "Oh...do I need those weird color things?" She asks nervously pointing at the chips. "I got money if that helps!" She says setting down the money they had been given showing all 5000 of it. "Ummm...how much is a chip?"

After attempting to sip an empty glass, well, more than seven times but less than twenty, Leslie sighed and reconsidered her approach. Guuuuhhhh, this is a bother. It's not like some jerk is gonna make a deal right in the front lobby or whatever. And if a moron gets side-effect'd we'd probably hear the commotion from the next area over. If I just sit here the whole time, I'll see nothing and probably get talked at about iiiiiiiiit. ... slots?
Begrudgingly and annoyed, she stands and heads back to the casino entryway to head to another area. Under the glass she left funds totaling 2100. The service was only worth 50 at best, but something something she's a bad customer and knows this. The other 50 was for having to deal with her.
Her jewelry softly klinks as she moves into the front lobby area.

Silas takes a moment to pause, as he doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself. Having the man panic right now would be counterproductive. He pauses for a moment and looks the man dead in the eye and speaks with a serious but calming tone. "If people could decide that on their own, I'd be out of a job. Anyway, I'd suggest you relax and come with me. An elevated heart rate isn't in your best interest right now. Alright?"

Waiting out of earshot, Thoron was somewhat annoyed that the target wouldn't listen. Still, Silas seemed to be making progress, and stepping in now would be inconvenient for them both. It was bad enough that the man was resisting, to join in now would definitely cause a scene.
Instead of waiting around, though, Thoron took a circuitous route to the washrooms, giving the two a wide berth.

Soleil
The man in the casino uniform squints at you and looks like he wants to ask a question, but points across the room to a window set into the wall, with a sign that says "Chip Exchange" above it, where other employees are. "Go over to that window, miss. They'll be able to help you."
Leslie
Moving towards the front lobby area, you spot Silas upstairs talking with another worried-looking man, trying to guide him somewhere. And there's Thoron a little ways back. Soleil's nowhere to be found, though.
Silas and Thoron
"W-what do you mean?" The man looks a little worried, now, sounding less sure of himself. "I'm sure I'm fine! I don't need to pay for a doctor..." Ah... it seems he might be thinking you're trying to separate him from his winnings...

"Well...I'll be back then I guess. You guys got lucky, my hand was super good!" Soleil says sighing as she stands up and skips over to the exchange with the bag of money.

Silas is quite pleased with the current course of events. This is an argument he's had before, and he's happy to not have to discuss payment plans right now. "Don't worry about that. This is more for my own conscience than anything else, and I imagine you'd like to avoid the expense of a full hospital trip."
