She nodded towards him with a bit of that bright and pleasant energy returning to her eyes, her tone returning to normal. "Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I just gotta keep my head up and keep on looking, right?" After that, she went silent for a little while until Luca asked her about the places that she liked to travel to, a subject that she was both passionate and knowledgeable about. As soon as she started hearing him ask about it, her eyes lit up eagerly and she quickly started to answer. "I travel all over the place! Big cities, small villages, forests, mountains, doesn't matter to me. We live in a whole, great big, beautiful world, and I want to see every last corner of it. While her wanderlust had been initially founded through her desire to seek out the truth behind herself, her lost memories and such, she had since seen such a great number of incredible and beautiful things in her travels that she couldn't help but wonder what else was out there, just waiting for her to find it.<br/><br/>Besides, there was no motivation for her to settle down and find a home yet, so where was the loss in it for her?<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 nodded, kicking aside a seat for Lyuk to take before the group started to hand out their cards again. Just like before, Gaius took his two cards and kept them neatly tucked in against his chest. However, when it came for people to place down their 'calls', Gaius tossed in his pair with that same calm, emotionless, confident face that he had carried almost non-stop the entire evening. "Fold." To Alice, this would be absolutely nothing new, as he had a tendency to fold right away rather then stick with what would be a subpar hand. Since he had an overwhelming tendency to win the hands he kept, this would mean that Lyuk's first hand of the table at least had a chance at winning. That train of thought, however, would quickly come derailed as Gaius started to stray from the norm. While the remaining five people at the table resumed their play, Gaius reached down into a small bag that he carried with him, pulling out a deck of cards that was entirely different from the one being used, these ones had a gorgeous ruby red carrying case, and it would be soft and silky to the touch. Judging from the carrying case alone, this pack of cards was worth nearly a fortune.<br/><br/>Gaius put this new deck on the table, drawing the eye of one of the other people at the table. "What are you doing,<em>Gaius</em>?" The man put emphasis on the redhead's name, trying his best to make it sound insulting since he couldn't see that Gaius had deliberately thrown that hand for some unknown reason. In response, however, Gaius simply shut his eyes and rose his hand. Alice and Lyuk would be able to see that his thumb was pressed tip to tip against his middle finger. "You three are annoying." With a snap of his fingers, Gaius' body would dissolve into an eerie mist that would cover the table, deeply affecting anybody nearby that wasn't didn't have magical energy flowing in their veins. Even though it would be extremely difficult to see for the next couple of seconds, either one of the two had a slight chance to notice that another figure took the old Gaius' seat, though when those couple of seconds passed and the mist dissolved, Gaius was sitting right there, all three of the normal gamblers unconscious and laying face first down on the table. They'd be able to talk about it later, but that was a clear display of illusion magic, a masterful use of it at that. Either way, with only the three mages remaining at the table, Gaius picked up his red clad pack of cards and pulled them from their pack, tossing the soft and leathery case to the side as he started shuffling it. "Heh, now that the three stooges are out of the way, how about a change of pace? Tell me, do either of you two fairies believe in fortune telling? Do you believe that a power greater then yourself can foresee what fate has in store for you? Predict the future?"<br/><br/>Alice would be the first with the chance to spot it, the pack of cards he was shuffling were no ordinary playing cards. Rather then Daimonds, Hearts, Clubs, and Spades, the suits within Gaius' deck consisted of Swords, Cups, Wands, and Pentacles, along with almost 2 dozen other random assorted cards thrown in as well, the pictures being far more stylized and artistic then commonplace playing cards. Gaius had just pulled out a deck of Tarot cards, and judging from the excited glint in his eye, their meeting at the table had just gotten significantly more interesting.<br/><br/>If his illusion trick had been ANY indication, this illusionist was on a skill level rivaling the legendary S ranked mages of the old days, anywhere between Erza Scarlet and Gildarts. Violence would<em>not</em>be a good idea against him, though since it looked like he was only interested in playing a game for now, perhaps it would be best if the two of them played along.
