"Why do you want to go gambling, Jahi? After all we just talked about last night... all the risks, all the ways to lose money or dignity... why risk it at all when you can just go out and adventure for your funds instead? Why play around with something that is a troublesome addiction to kick?"
Lady Kio stared at me as she sat up in her wife's lap, her prior happiness from being pat now gone as she got serious, which made me smile slightly as I took another bite of whatever this egg dish was before replying "Many would argue that the 'addiction' of adventuring and fighting is the same as gambling; I'm running risks with my life instead of my wealth whenever I go out and fight a monster. I understand what you're warning me against though, Lady Kio, I really do understand, but I just want to go and do it for fun, nothing more."
Whew~
