Koujaku listened to Celestria and it seemed as if he hit a bit of a nerve but then it again it was hard to tell with this girl. Regardless Koujaku decided to play a game of poker with her, it was just for fun anyway, at least for him. However after a small while Koujaku was all out and got his ass quite frankly handed to him yet he didn't show any bitterness he just smiled and chuckled "Well you really are as good as you say you are, quite impressive...I've never been beat like that before, clearly I was playing some rather terrible people" Koujaku once again chuckled, it was all just for fun anyway so why take it seriously?
Celestria
Celestria watched from behind her cards as Koujaku played, analysing his face and moments, the slightest action not going unnoticed. As expected, she had won their little game, within a reasonable time-frame also. After the final card had been dealt, she watched as the exotic man across from her chuckled while smiling. Usually her opponents would throw all sorts of threats or insults at her but Koujaku didn't, he just merely laughed it off. Celestria respected that, not that anyone would be able to tell. "I do not beat, I annihilate. However, to tell you the engraved truth, I let you loose gently due to my insatiable urge to show fairness towards you. Do not mistake this for pity, I merely do not feel the need to obliterate your chances within my first move, so, in other words, I dampened my sharpened knowledge, blunting it like a pencil would upon contact with thinly sliced and direly bleached tree material." Trying to avoid bruising his ego, Celestria told Koujaku the truth. It was extremely rare for her to go easy on anyone so she even surprised herself when she just couldn't bring her hand up to place down the one card that'd cause her to win the battle after only one turn.... Instead, she avoided that and gave him a chance to win, which he clearly wasn't successful in achieving.
