At the Gateway hall, once Yifa had picked out an opponent, Kechara and the others came out to their table to watch the game between them.  Kechara had once considered maybe getting the young Solar something to help her with Gateway, since she seemed to like the game so much, but she had eventually given up on the idea.  Yifa was not a studier in her opinion, not someone who could really manage to sit still long enough for her to do anything highly cerebral.  Nothing against her, she just had too much energy, it seemed.<br/><br/>The man sitting across from her was, if she remembered appearances correctly, an Earth Aspect Dragon-Blood.  Probably an off-duty soldier, even though he wasn't wearing any armor at the moment.  Yifa's intent had had its effect, he went easier on her in the opening stages of the game...by the time he realized what was going on, though, and tried to mount a defense, Yifa was already in position, putting his pieces away, or in jeopardy of being lost.  He was shaking his head at the end of the game.  "Show me to underestimate someone based on appearances."<br/><br/>He settled back into his chair.  "You're pretty good, girl.  What's your name?  I'm Ichobaj Maheka, one of Lookshy's Justicars."  The term referred to the force of policemen that kept order both in the Seventh Legion as well as within the city of Lookshy.
