In fact, if it weren't for Luca's Haderechi legs, there was no possible way either he or Ralena could have ever caught up with him. Blessedly, Luca was able to close the distance, and his attempted tackle was able to slow the young man enough that Ralena could also catch up despite her inferior speed, thanks to the fact that the young man had to dodge in an awkward direction, and go crashing into a wall before he could continue his flight. As soon as she started to close in, she lifted her right arm over her head, that familiar blue energy forming in it for a moment as she started to create a weapon of some kind. "Taaake this!!! Bola of justice!!!" The energy in Ralena's hand was solidified in the form of two large weighted balls that were connected by a chain, and Ralena lobbed that creation of hers as fast as she could towards the leg of the young thief. The bola connected, the chains wrapping around his leg as the two weighted balls carried their momentum around until they crashed together, their trip jerking to a sudden halt and forcing the young man to crash to the floor as a result.<br/><br/>Ralena smiled brightly as she jogged up to the two of them, though she took a moment to brace herself against her knees before continuing with the subdued shadow crow. "Haah... Haah... Nice job. I thought he was home free there for a second..." She caught her breath, putting her foot on the young man's shoulders as she formed her weapon of choice, a pair of gauntlets that covered her fists as she gently punched her knuckles against one another. "So how about we have a little talk, then..."<br/><br/>................................................<br/><br/>(http://i.imgur.com/Blj66.jpg)<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Gaius Eigenfilter</span><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Bar in Leolt<br/><strong>With:</strong>Alice, Lyuk<br/><br/>Gaius sighed when Alice gave her answer in the form of throwing his card away before stating how disappointed she was, and that she was starting to get interested in him. It was getting to be a pain in the ass managing two different conversations at the same time though, so he'd need to do something to make sure that he got time to listen and respond to the two of them properly and listen to what they had to say. Fairy Tail mages were, after all, a fascinating bunch. As such, a second Gaius would appear from the shadows of the bar, walking up and picking Alice's card as he spoke. "Well that sure was rude. But, you should know that it's impossible to read two fortunes at the same time, so if you could please come one table over, we'll get started."<br/><br/>The 'real' Gaius smirked at Lyuk at this point, picking up the card that the fire mage had selected as he held it overhead without looking at it yet. "I wouldn't be too stressed out about having her move about 5 feet away if I were you. If I wanted to pick a fight here, trust me, the two of you would know."<br/><br/>And with that, the second Gaius would make his way over to a nearby table, seemingly pulling out a Tarot deck of his own as he waited for Alice to come join him. When she did, he'd take the card she had selected, looking at it for the first time before he started to laugh loudly. "Oh man! Well<em>this</em>sure is interesting!" He laid the card down that Alice had selected face up, allowing her to see it (http://www.learntarot.com/maj10.htm) as well. "The wheel of fortune! There's going to be an incredible revelation imposed upon you in the near future, and with it comes a chaotic chain of events so powerful that even fate itself can't determine where you'll end up. You keep going on and on about how you make your own destiny, well here's your chance to prove it. Here, pick another, less rude this time please." As Alice selected her second card, Gaius set the Wheel of Fortune card face up on the center of the table, it would be the focal point for the rest of the reading.<br/><br/>On Lyuk's end, Gaius would take the rest of the cards aside, doing the same as he put Lyuk's chosen card in the middle. "Hmm... Well isn't that interesting?" The card that Lyuk had chosen (http://www.learntarot.com/maj12.htm) sat dead in the center of the table, Gaius going silent for a few seconds before he spoke again. "The hanged man. Your life appears to be one big contradiction of itself, it shows that only once you've given up in your pursuit of something, that's when you'll find it. You know, darkest right before dawn yatta yatta yatta." Just like with Alice, Gaius would offer Lyuk the full deck. "Pull another card." Gaius would have both Lyuk and Alice pull cards while he put them in various positions around the table, during this process, he spoke to Lyuk with a calm and relaxed tone. "You asked me before what my motivation was? Well, what if I told you that there's a certain ass that I need to kick, and the Shadow Crows leader may or may not have information on where it is. However, those guys have some pretty damn big ambitions of their own, even I was amazed when I first heard about it."
