Leonora lead the way to the Easter egg hunt It wasn't all too packed as she watched several adults and childern gather at the entrance with a sign stating to stand by as they were replenishing some eggs and the various hiding spots as she looked around the crowds, seeing a lot of magic knights she knew some with their families. She watched the kids run around the crowd ducking and weaving in and out of them. She smiled warmly at the sight. She had plans at some point to have a family. after all, Someone needed to continue their bloodline and as much as she loved her little brother, she wasn't exactly rooting for him to somehow start a family any time soon. He had plenty of time and options to find himself someone. However she was old enough to be wed and even having kids. However she already stated her opinion on that factor. While she might go with any given arrangements, if the male does not fit her liking he was going to endure her torment till he either broke off the arrangement, meet her in some middle ground to keeping her content in their arrangement, Absolutely acknowledge her likings can be all on him one moment and on someone else the next or that he simply breaks and become all she wants him to be. While the family might not like it. She wasn't about to let anyone dictate her path or her future. She has played nice so far in life, learning to keep her chains on herself tight and keeping within the standings of the family and society. However she wasn't going to bend and mend her heart to anyone's will, she would rather die then become someone she wasn't. [break][break]
She looked over her shoulder towards Ryuuma as she folded her arms leaning all her weight on to her left hip. " So what do you say? Care to make a bet?" She asked playfully allowing her magenta eyes to keep watch of him. [break][break]

Ryoshi followed the young woman as they went over to where the easter egg hunt was being held and he glanced around as many adults and children were hunting for and finding all the brightly colored eggs in the area, to the aura mages eagle like eyes he already spotted at least a dozen eggs around him that were easy pickings but he knew that that was no fun and would be frowned upon, if he was to do anything of the sort he wanted a bit of a challenge and he had no doubt there was some skill required for the older participants of this game since they wanted others to have fun as well.Ryoshi glanced around more his aqua eyes scanning the area since he had a feeling there were some eggs hidden in places one might never think and to that end he would have an advantage, while his magic didnt carry an element it did give him traits that were more beastlike and the superhuman senses of them
he subtly sniffed the area to get an idea of the scents around him but he wasnt obvious about it as he did so if anything it looked like he mearly took a deep breath in and released it to relax a bit. He got the smell of egg strongly but also the multiple people around them before he heard his companion speak to him and he blinked before pondering he question of a bet, such a wager could be of use to him but also he would need to be careful as it could rope him into something that could be tricky to avoid later, in the face of her question he spoke.”you have my interest what kind of wager are we talking about here Leonora?” he asked his face showed intrest in making this event even more fun and if he could learn the boundrys of such a thing all the better.
"Hm well it can be anything really. There isn't much I need or want as I can pay for everything I need. Nor am I the type to need anything expensive...If I had to wager something on my wants. You buy me whatever alcohol that I want for a year. Or get a very very special set of books that is pretty expensive and hard to find. "She said "See pretty simple. My tastes aren't a million yul for a bottle of anything. However, I can't taste much of anything I desire in the ale and brews you can get in some tavern outside the noble reign. They just don't have the needed 'kick' of desire. "She said in thought resting her cheeck against her fist in thought as her magenta eyes watched him "So If you are liking my side of the wager, what would you wish to wager?" she asked curiously.
[break][break] She scanned the area knowing where she would have put all the more obvious ones and thinking the way she would as a child told her most of her assumptions were correct of placing for the childern. However she could think of a few places for where the more challenging eggs were. She was curious of what he would want from her if he had somehow managed to win [break][break]

Ryoshi listened to the Vermillion girl as she stated that the wager could be for anything since she can pay for anything that she needed and she wasnt one to want something expensive but finally she settled on him buying her whatever alcohol she wanted for a year if she won, the Aura mage resisted the urge to smirk since that was easy and even if he lost he knew he would never have to pay any real cash since he was rather adept at making bottles of alcohol go missing if needed despite not being a heavy drinker. As she questioned what he would want now that he had heard her side of the bargin and ryoshi pondered a moment before he decided on something that would either get him in hot water or ensure entertaining for a long time coming, he looked at her before he spoke.”I can agree to that side of the wager but mine is a bit more interesting you will find” he said before he went on.
“I know your a magic knight given the mantle you wear but im curious how you would do out on your own no squad but only your own strength to guide you so thats my half of the wager if I win you have to lay down your mantle and strike out on your own let your own strength guide your hand” he suggested as he waited for her answer knowing that he had her attention since they had met and now he was stoking the embers he had lit in her into a raging blaze since she seemed the type that took pride in her power and playing on her ego would make it all the easier to get his claws into her he just needed to see her take the bait.
Leonora blinked as she was suprised but wasn't too supriused at him accepting her wager. it was a simple one and something anyone could do within reason. However she was taken by suprise why he spoke of his wager with her. Laynig down her mantle, no longer being a magic knight? Now that was interesting as it wasn't something she hadn't allowed to play around in her lone thoughts from time to time. She both enjoyed greatly and hated with passion her time as a magic knight. She had such a great outlet and her sense of justice was on point. however, she hated the obligation of the mantle and its ties to her family. it was just another chain to keeping her contained and content with society and within her own family. She rested her finger on her chin in thought, thinking it out before turning her attention back towards him making her decision. After all, she was a woman of her word and taking any bet she would see the ending through plus his side wasn't that bad as he never stated how long she had to be without her mantle. If she got bored she could just re enlist. No harm, No Foul. [break][break]
"Alright, I will take your challenge. May the best hunter win.." She spoke with a smile out stretching a hand to seal the deal [break][break]

Ryoshi smiled back at her as she took his deal though inside his grin was much more sinister due to the the plans he was crafting, he would continue to play friendly since she didnt seem to much of a goody two shoes and he was certain with certain nudging she would start to see his ideas as rather good but for now they had to agree to such terms,as she offered her hand to make the agreement Ryoshi held his hand out before it got coated in a bit of his aura before he took her hand and shook it.”a bit of magic to seal the deal” he said with playful tone his aqua eyes showing he was looking forward to this challenge immensely.”now lets see who can get the most” he said before he subtly sniffed the air before he moved over to one of the trees nearby and quickly made a set of aura claws before using them to scale the tree a bit and found one of the eggs that had been hidden for more advanced hunters.
“one down” he stated before he glanced around and saw one more egg high up and he quickly kicked off his spot on the tree and he nabbed the egg before he landed on the ground with none of the eggs damaged,while he had shown a few of his spells from the incident with the mana beasts as far as anyone else knew he just had normal aura magic he rarely disclosed that he had beast aura since that was one of his more deadly skills and with more training and mastry he would be able to become a one man army causing death with simple touch and being able to embody even legendary monsters and creatures that were thought to be only myth
Leonora watched his hand get coated in his aura as he was indeed an aura mage. She shifted some shaking on the deal as she felt it was a wrong thing but a bet was a bet. She watched him closely as she pulled her hand away hiding it behind her back within her mantle “alright it is sealed”she spoke hearing the announcement of the egg hunt commencing as she moved into the area with ryoshi deciding to take an opposite direction getting up to the roof tops and higher parts of the area finding an Easter egg in a literal nest “I don’t know whether to feel insulted or amazed by this “she muttered moving to a hollowed out tree trunk finding another egg “there is two”she said to herself jumping down carefully keeping the eggs safe and undamaged as she stood up adjusting them again as she took her time hunting for more challenging ones. [BREAK][BREAK] She was a natural born hunter she was an explorer an adventure. Egg hunts were a breeze when it came to knowing where one should most likely look in plain sight.

Ryoshi kept up the pace as he shifted to being down on the ground and moving thru the buildings subtly sniffing the air to see where the smell of egg and paint was the strongest, he quickly saw a pile of baskets nearby and he reached his hand between the cracks and carefully pulled out two of them.”heh jackpot” he muttered as he put the eggs in one of his pockets and he moved the material in there to cushion them so he could keep hunting, he glanced up at a mug that was sitting high on a crate and he gently swished it in his hand and heard the sound of an egg and he rolled it out into his hand.”nice already im getting quite a few more” he snickered as he kept moving thru the area and saw a small shop selling trinkets for the event.Ryoshi knew he had a few moments so he quickly moved over and would purchase one of the silver necklaces before he went back to hunting for eggs.
As he kept looking he held onto the necklace and started to infuse it with his aura so that way once it was put on the aura within would mess with the wearer and the rogue knew just who he wanted to mess with. As he spotted another egg high up on one of the tents that had been pitched around the area Ryoshi quickly jumped down and leapt up with all his might before nabbing the egg and he sighed.”the timers gotta be getting close wonder whos gonna win this” he muttered to himself though he was confident he would get more.
Leonora kept to the roof top of the egg hunt moving quicker then some of the other competitors getting to some eggs before them
[BREAK][BREAK]
"Hey that was mine!" Called out one.[BREAK]
"Aw it is a competition hun. that means whoever gets the egg first. I was faster so I got it first." She said wrapping the egg before placing it in the satchel as she continued her pursuit. She should have this in the bag, This bet was going to go in her favor because why wouldnt it? She knew where most would hide the difficult ones. Was she being arrogant in her thoughts? absolutely. however this was still a competition.
[BREAK][BREAK]
She jump down from a roof to an alley, swiping two eggs that were hidden amongst some flowers " There is five..."She said to herself thinking of how many she had gotten hearing the whistle and the call that the hunt was over.
[BREAK][BREAK]
"Only five? geez did my senses really get duller? Nah I probably distracted my thoughts "she said to herself making her way to the starting point laying down her few eggs as her count was correct indeed holding just five "Man that bites for sure" she said with a laugh as she shrugged. a deal was a deal there was no shame in accepting the lose as after all it wasn't going to be forever with this bet right? just till she couldn't handle the challenge. No big deal right?
