 Celestria's posture was perfect; her back was straight, eyes holding eye-contact with Koujaku as he spoke. She lifted a hand to gesture towards the deck she had recently shuffled and the stack of poker chips she had recently won. Once she had finished speaking, she returned her hands back into a clasped position, eyes still fixed on Koujaku's, analysing them.

Koujaku listened to Celestria then nodded "Well if it is usually calm then I may be coming here more often and card games huh? interesting...I don't mind a card game or two here and there, it's a good bit of fun for me...but why don't we have a game? I wouldn't mind seeing how well you play. After all. You do make it sound as if you are quite the perfectionist at these sort of games and if I'm to lose to anyone then why not to someone who has clearly much greater talent than myself?" Koujaku looked back at Celestria, looking her in the eyes also. He wasn't sure what she was doing but perhaps she was trying to read him...who knows...this women seemed to always wear a poker face which is likely why she is so good at the game but if you don't challenge yourself you cannot get better. Koujaku often thought of everything like a fight. Winning wasn't always the way forward..you had to lose occasionally to get stronger, improve and learn...
