[quote=Kurisa] Koujaku listened to the Celestria then nodded "That is true..and well I try. Ah I see...Celestria, that's a name I've never heard of before but it's one that sounds...elegant" Koujaku then listened once more as Celestria spoke, her tone seemed so neutral but Koujaku found that interesting "Well I just came here to relax. There aren't many places around here where you can relax which is why I tend to move around the bars here so I can find one that is at least moderately peaceful, it's not wrong to want a soothing drink to yourself to wind down is it?...However..I could say the same about you Celestria...what brings you to a place like this?" Koujaku found the way this women spoke captivating, and the way she looked...he couldn't pry his eyes off her, she seemed like something else...something incredible [/quote] [u]Celestria[/u] [b]"I can understand why you'd think the name has an elegant ring to it. Indeed it is unusual. I prefer that."[/b] Celestria's posture was perfect; her back was straight, eyes holding eye-contact with Koujaku as he spoke. [b]"That is a fair reason why you would be spotted here. Experience tells me that the atmosphere, for the majority of the time, is as calm as a flat-line. My reasoning for being here is obvious; card games."[/b] She lifted a hand to gesture towards the deck she had recently shuffled and the stack of poker chips she had recently won. [b]"Games involving cards are a simplistic passion of mine for more reasons than one. I perfect my skills through challenging and being challenged. There are various types of card games I play, all require tactics as well as high-risk strategies, perhaps more than if one were participating in a game of, for argument's sake, chess or checkers. Occasionally, I would take the time out to enjoy a game of both."[/b] Once she had finished speaking, she returned her hands back into a clasped position, eyes still fixed on Koujaku's, analysing them.
