( Never met an ocean until this world, but by now, been on its oceans enough to have met a few sharks.
... And more of the non-literal ones, but he's seen worse, and so a shark-faced being is... tolerable. As are, more sadly to speak on his temperament, the potential costs.
The man-shark, shark-man, widens that not-quite-grin, and simply starts to deal them in. An answer to Jacob's query, not bothering with words. People only come here for certain stakes. The ones who sit at his table are asking for high costs, and oh, he loves winning.
Wei Wuxian doesn't look at his cards until after Longus does, and the round continues on, his luck utterly abysmal from the start. He gives a wry smile even as he slides three cards back, selecting three new ones with a soft sort of sigh.
A better hand than before, yes, but this is just the first round. And they're not even betting the way the other tables do, no. )
