    There is an upmarket coffee house in the heart of the city. Its a little bit too close to Old Sacramento to draw the business people and the office workers all of the time; and as it operates out of a basement with minimal street frontage, the tourists have an uncanny habit of missing it. Do not be fooled, however, for this coffee house thrives on word-of-mouth: the coffee is excellent; the range is broad and the staff are knowledgable. To find this place is a wonderful surprise. To return is a treasure.

    To become a regular is an honour.

    Anatole is perched on a high stool, hidden away by the artful remnants of brickwork - old brickwork! Parts of this refurbished basement blend into the buried remains of old Sacramento itself - with a small white cup before him and an important looking journal open at one side. The small cup is an experiment in coffee he has not tried before; the journal is for disguise.

    Anatole is waiting on Titania Vincent

    They need to plot and scheme.

    Titania

    Telluric / Bright One

    Fairest


    Mask

    A striking brunette in her 20s with deep blue eyes, shoulder length hair and a 1000-watt smile. Her features have a radiant beauty to them. She styles herself after the latest fashions, never forgetting to add a touch of tradition to her mises.
    Titania

    Mien

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor. Her eyes, like star sapphires, shine in tandem with the globes of light that dance around her, floating like planets swept around a Sun.
    Titania

    Mantle

    A field of roses under the glistening pale moon of a star sprangled spring night. Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    It's a quaint little place, stylish but at the same time familiar. The fairest arrives fashionably late, clad in a form fitting dress and carrying her expensive bags.
    She greets the bartender with a polite bow, before being ushered down to her table. Anatole is waiting for her.
    "Hi, hope you haven't been waiting too long", she says, kissing him on the cheek before sliding into her chair.

    Titania arrives and Anatole smiles his cat-like smile, which turns decidedly grand fatherly when he receives the Fairest's kiss.

    "What is waiting but delayed pleasure? Besides the journal was interesting. Mostly. As was the coffee."

    He punctuates his speech by tapping a laminated card with a list of experimental, very hipster, coffee blends. He waited for Titania to seat herself and settle.

    "Still up for a visit to a casino? I should be able to put up a decent stake now. Do you have money to burn too?"

    His smile is matched by an equally stretched grin, as the girl elegantly falls into her seat, waving the gentleman's flattering words off with a gentle flick of her fingers.
    "And the pleasure is ten increased. Just like saving is delayed consumption growing at a rate", she says, showing a bit of that financial acumen that the dwarf had tried to instill in her.
    Elegant fingers brush against the menu, "Blue Mountain", she thinks aloud, "I like the name, I think I'll settle on this"
    When the dwarf mentions the casino, her expression lightens up. "Of course, I've got a decent nest now", she says, her fingers reaching for her bag and pulling out a deck of cards, "And some supernatural help to boot", she winks.
    "Want to try?"

    Now Anatole's eye brows shoot up. He gives the Fairest a long look of deep consideration; a smile was forming, shaping the contours of his soft beard. He leaned back in his chair, the seat creaking as he did so. Thick fingers drummed a thoughtful rhythm on the rim of the table before he bought his hands together, fingers forming a steeple.

    "Oh magic! Please do tell!"

    She smiles, offering the dwarf the cards. "Let's just say, I have a way to improve my limited abilities, a bit of precognition helps too. And what I can't achieve this way", she winks, "A lowcut dress can help with a bit of distraction".
    She then points at the cards. "Shuffle"

    Anatole looked at the cards.

    Looked at Titania.

    Looked at the cards again.

    His gaze was calculating as well as appreciative. A smile remained on his lips, tugging at the corners of his mouth. The wizened could not deny it in that moment: the Fairest was a definition of beauty - the bright luminescence of her kith on enhancing the loveliness of her presence.

    The burned dwarf's fingers hung in the air, frozen in space, for a lingering moment before he reached out for the cards and gave them a slow and deliberate shuffle.

    "There was a time when I was better at this."

    He placed the cards on the table between them with an audible thump.

    She winks, shifting with her torso forward. "You don't look so out of shape when you ask me. To think i'm likely your senior", she smirks, her refreshing mantle filling the space between them.

    A dent, an "O" forms in his beard roughly where his mouth should be. His body leans back, away from the table; yet his eyes remained fixed forward. And down, perhaps. With a grunt, he relaxes in his seat. One hand gestures into the air.

    "Really? But of course! Time being what it is. I make a policy of not asking about... how long my friends have been back. In town. I might not like the answers."

    He turns his face slightly away, a wry smirk replacing the "O" with a faint, curling, line.

    He was definitely looking the Bright One in the face.

    "And thank you for the compliment. I try. I'm getting there. To what I was before ... my time... out of town and all that."

    With one hand, the burned dwarf gestured to the shuffled deck he had placed on the table.

    She stifles a laugh, in the end she offers him a polite chuckle. Though she notices his somewhat steeling composure, so to speak, her lips curving upward in return. Discreet, she won't ask about his time out of town, not yet at least.
    A hand stretches forward, a silver bracelet dangling from her wrist, as she cuts the deck in two. Perhaps it's her impeccable sense of timing, but she manages two perfect halves.
    "Oh, a Lady's age used to be a secret. But the modern world doesn't like secrets that much, it's all social media now, which suits me. Besides, the best secrets are those aired in public", she smiles, "So, what should we play? It's our first training session after all"
