He had enough to worry about without having to deal with her normal attire. It surprised him a little though. He’d expected her to be the type that used every advantage she could get and with his well-known weakness to women he had fully expected her to come prepared to use that against him. He was grateful for it but he wasn’t going to pull any punches because of it. He was going to repay the favor the only he knew how, by going all out and if she won then it was because she was genuinely better than him.<br/><br/>He watched her warily as the cards emerged from her cape, never taking his eyes off her even as the cards settled into her hand. Other than the fact that she used card magic Luca had no idea what she was capable and it made him cautious. He didn't want to fall prey to some clever trap.  As the card mage finished her battle declaration, his cheeks flushed at the not so subtle insinuations. “I was never looking for easy. I like a challenge.” He answered however it probably would've sounded better if he wasn't still red in the face. Before anything else could be said the bell was rung signaling the end of their banter. The fight had begun.<br/><br/>At the sound of the bell Luca’s hand immediately shifted turning crimson, a curtain of flames as bright and wide as he could make it erupted from the scarlet appendage, roaring towards gambling mage. Luca didn't bother to wait and see whether the attack would hit or not. Hitting her wasn't the purpose of the technique. His arm had already gone back to normal and instead the lower half of his body had changed leaving behind a powerful pair of digitigrade burnt orange armored plated demon legs behind claws that looked like they could easily tear through skin. He darted diagonally far faster than he normally could, using the flaming veil to obscure his movements and approach from a different angle rather than charge straight on. This fight was going to be all about how well he was able to close in on his opponent. Now approaching from the side rather than the front, he charged towards Destiny launching into a dangerous crescent kick, the claws at the end gleaming dangerously and threatening to rip across her side.
