The next day, the den was just as alive as ever. The sound of dice clattering inside the wooden cups, bursts of cheers and groans, and the constant clink of coins hitting the table filled the place.
All of them were working, but this time, Leonard wasn't in his usual spot behind the table.
Instead, he deliberately pulled back just today.
He let Anika, Gareth, Eric, and Ferio take charge of the games. He wanted to see if they could handle the den already without him.
"Hmm…" Leonard watched them.
Ferio was good at keeping the crowd entertained while shaking the dice. Anika, who was as cheerful as ever, was good at interacting with the crowd. And as usual, she was all smiling.
Eric was good at talking with the people around him. From time to time, he would ask them what they were doing with their lives as if all of them were just buddies.
