And strategy and technique, but all things considered he is still taking a chance, possibly fueled by arrogance.

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Not arrogance, necessarily.

A gambler is usually driven by confidence, and usually some sort of desperation, or else he wouldn't be taking the gamble in the first place.

Do you really believe that, Peter?

[Not doubting in the least, but curious Caspian is curious for obvious reasons.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Blink.]

In most cases, yes.

[Excluding bored Vegas gamblers.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I do not think I would ever be so desperate.

[Raising a foot to push the edge of his chair and swivel it away from the window.]

It's difficult for most people to imagine a situation where they would be.

[swivel swivel. There was that castle raid, if you don't remember Caspian!]

[Don't bring that up Peter "Moodkiller" Pevensie. He pushes off his lean and rests a knee at the edge of the seat, hand on Peter's shoulder.]

You'll do a fine job.

[Peter crosses his arms and looks up. It's a real compliment this time.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[He'll take that compliment with a kiss, quick but highly concentrated, because tipping the chair over would be embarrassing.]
