D’Arby grinned, threading his fingers together and leaning his chin into them. “Oh? You’re going to wager your soul?” He asked, “Lord Dio won't be very happy with me when I steal your soul.”

“Your ‘Lord’ Dio can go to hell.” you snarled, glaring at the man in front of you.

“Ah… I see.” D’arby said tilting his head, “so you’ve chosen these people over Lord Dio?”

“Without question” You said, placing your hands flat against the table. “They are my friends. I would never choose anyone else above them.”

“Then I suppose Dio shouldn't care too much what happens to you.” D’Arby said, a smirk on his face, “So what kind of game would you like to play? What kind of bet shall we make?”

You clenched your fists, trying to think. You were not skilled at gambling… you weren't even good and playing card games. What was your best shot at actually winning a bet against a man who was obviously eager to cheat?

Joseph stepped forward, putting a hand on your shoulder, “ you don't have to do this. I’ll play his game.”

“No.” you said, smiling weakly up at Joseph. “I want to take care of this myself… avenge me if I mess up.” you said, before turning back to D’Arby.

“I could suggest something for us to play.” D’Arby said, “Unless you plan to keep stalling for time.”

You grit your teeth, glaring at the man, “shut up and let me think.” you muttered, wracking your brain. Something short and easy that D’Arby would have a hard time cheating at…

Well. What was better than a 50% chance?

“Coin toss.” you said, looking at D’Arby. “It's as easy as heads or tails. Good enough of a game for you?”

His brow twitched slightly, “A coin toss… Yes, that would be adequate.” he said, starting to reach into his pocket.

“No, not one of your coins.” you said, holding up a hand. You looked over at Avdol instead, “could you pull out a coin and do the flip for us?”

Avdol nodded, pulling a coin out of his pocket.

D’Arby’s brow twitched again. “To keep this completely fair, why don't we ask one of the patrons of the cafe to do the flip for us instead?”

You scoffed, shaking your head, “For all I know, you could have hired some of the people sitting in this cafe. People are much easier to pay off than animals.” you said, leaning back in your chair.

D’Arby raised his arms in a shrug, “well, if you’re that distrustful…” He said, smirking  at you, “you must at least let me examine the coin to make sure it hasn't been tampered with.”

“... Fine.” you relented, shaking your head. You looked over at Avdol, giving him the go ahead.

Avdol came over, showing D’Arby the coin. D’Arby went to reach for the coin, but Avdol quickly pulled it out of his reach.

D’Arby scowled openly at you, but after a moment his smile returned, “Good, let’s continue.”

You let out a soft breath, anxiety filling your chest. “Avdol, flip the coin.” you said.

Avdol flipped the coin, catching and closing his hand around it. “Heads or tails,” he said.

“Tails.” D’Arby said.

“Heads.” you said, your voice wavering slightly.

You held your breath as Avdol opened his hands displaying…
