The corners of Rika's lips rose slightly as she heard the younger girl try and respond to her. Evidently, she was not too comfortable with talking to others. An apology would probably make the girl feel worse, so Rika opted to simply continue walking, making a mental note to try and not disturb this particular girl in the future.

Finally stepping outside the building, Rika came to a stop, realising that something was [i]slightly[/i] different from the norm. The sky was a great deal more red than usual, it made her feel uneasy. The moon, which the young student was pretty sure wasn't even supposed to be out yet, was way too large. Did she just step out into an apocalypse? Weird, it seemed like the kind of thing that would've been noticed a little earlier...

Rika jumped slightly at the words of a mysterious woman she had only just noticed was sitting there before her, a table separating them. Normally, a stranger that his their eyes and spoke in a cryptic manner were supposed to be avoided, but Rika, despite her apprehension, didn't feel as if this woman was dangerous in any way. As if this fortune teller was her sole ally in this world of... uh, redness.

Casting a nervous glance around her empty surroundings, Rika stepped forward, hand raised towards the deck of cards - well, card. For some reason, there was only one.
Gulping down her nervousness, Rika flipped the card over, raising it to her face and staring at it for a few moments, eyebrow raised.

"...This is a tarot card, right? Magician... that was the first or second one, I think..." Rika muttered, half to herself. She wasn't overly-familiar with tarot readings, so it was hard to guess what it meant to draw this card, but it was a good thing for it to not be upside-down, right? And it didn't exactly scream "you will die in the next two seconds", either. Even so, Rika wasn't quite sure to make of this, and cast another wary glance at the fortune teller.
