[@sakurasan] Well she'd be right to fear him, if she knew what he was really like. But of course, it's not like Karma will simply tell her all of this straight up. Here's an example of how he'd try to extract information he could use.

- First, he'd strike up a normal conversation. "Hi, I'm Karma. I don't believe we've met. I'm new. How are you?" Easy and simple. 
- Once he has your attention, he'd ask non-intrusive questions. Maybe about food or music, something they can both relate to. It'd make him feel more comfortable to be around. He might even crack a joke or two.
- Then he'd up the relatability factor, talk about something they definitely have in common: Magic. Depending on the reaction, he might press further but generally he'd keep it vague, just enough to make the other person want to ask questions.
- If they ask the question, he gives them an answer. Then through a give-and-take approach he'd ask more questions, sharing a little more of himself, all in good lighting of course, whilst at the same time gaining the information he needs. (People are surprisingly more susceptible to this tactic than you'd think. See: Social Engineering)
- If he were to stumble onto something such as this:
[quote=@sakurasan]
 She can appear up to once a day, fully. However, a battle like last time causes her to not be able to come out for around 2 days.[/quote]
He would likely end the conversation shortly afterward, though not abruptly. And he'd always allude towards their next meeting. "We should do this again sometime." etc, etc.
- Then, If ever Elise were to cause him any problems in the future, he'd take a step back and try to instigate the same situation, armed with the information he gained from before, Elise would be rendered out of the picture for two days. Long enough for him to supplant himself around Eli and become a constant.

Lol, I know I've made it sound extremely easy. But I talk to people for a living and you'd be surprised at how easy it really is do get information from someone when they don't know they're a target.
