"1500," the dealer replied with a bored tone and waited until all chips had been added before he started passing the cards around.
The price wasn't one Daryl had been pleased with, but he needed the information and he could bill the costs to the Night Council later as part of his post-job expense listing. He really should have been keeping his attention on those he'd come to pump for information, but his gaze remained pretty steady on Eames when he wasn't studying his own cards. It was possible the fae Lord wasn't going to use magic to cheat. But it was equally possible he would and Daryl really didn't have the extra money to lose.
