Luca watched Teran as he confessed how the Shadow Crows would steal all the magic from the world. At the mention of how they would do that Luca got worried. Who knew how many of the jewels they already had? If the one they had stolen was the last one they wouldn't have much time to stop them.  They needed to know where their hideout and he was about to ask where it was but Ralena beat him to the punch.<br/><br/>Luca sighed, irritated and grumbled, “That’s just great,” when Teran told them that he didn't know where the Shadow Crow base was. It was just their luck that the man didn’t know where the base was. The good news was that at least they had found half of the puzzle and now they just needed the other which they probably would have to beat out of another Shadow Crow member. That was the time when the others showed up.<br/><br/>His ears were suddenly filled with the sound of Alice screaming out his name, which caused him to be unable to hear what Ralena said to Teran before she let him go, and was forced to take half a step back to keep his balance when Alice hugged him. His face was once again touched with a tinge of red as she did. Luca innocent in the ways of flirting and women as he was, was taken in by her acting and he very awkwardly returned her hug trying to bring her some comfort, softly saying, “It’s okay.”<br/><br/>Alice’s sudden change in attitude surprised Luca and he let but he just chalked it up to being happy at being successful in her work when she again turned up to look at him with a scared expression on her face. “Well you umm… did a good job.” He complimented unsure about what else it was that he was supposed to say. He looked over to Ralena for a moment trying to ask her to help him get out of this situation without him appearing rude to Alice. He was still uncomfortable with being hugged like this and he could feel her rather large assets being pressed against him which was not helping with his current discomfort, if anything it was making his face turn a little redder. He turned back to look at Alice. “Alice, do you have any idea on how that card works? We kind of need to hurry to make sure the Shadow Crow’s plan to drain the world of magic doesn't come to fruition.”
