Drake's lips curled slightly. "That sounds reasonable."

"Of course, it does. This is my first time in Orkgate. How could I have ties to a mongrel? And trust me, that man won't come near your casino again. Competing with you over a woman? He's probably shaking in his boots somewhere." Drake gave a noncommittal grunt, seemingly satisfied. "Fair enough."
