Lil'Witch and Mama Maid

"That's silly Hazel."

Haru would lean forward and try to put her hand back over the eye and pluck the blind side of her head.

"Your senses aren't so sharp that you can not feel the hindrance of losing half your sight. Whether you chose to replace it or not is one thing but to make an assumption we both know to be a lie to justify one action isn't good. Without one eye you will be at a disadvantage. There will be new hardships in your life and you will have to live with them. Those are the factors you consider. Not some dream that everything will be normal. If you want to bare your scars then bare them in their fullness. If you wish for a new eye then be decisive on it. Things will still not be normal and you will have to adjust."

She removed her hand.Rubbing Hazel's hair a bit.

"I care about you. Almost like my child though I know I am more of a big sister figure, and while I still think your actions that day were silly I am going to support your choice. I just want you to be true to yourself when you make that choice."

Haru sighed loudly and would most likely pinch the girl's nose a bit. Hazel was a sweet girl who could make her own decisions, but nothing was wrong with Haru nudging her straight once in a while. Her father tried to do the same though she felt his methods were a bit more heavy-handed than most daughters would've liked.

"You're the host. You should've had things planned." If she was able to she would still be holding Hazels nose. "Luckily I plan for these sort of occasions."

Haru would release the girl and walk over to her bag, rummaging for a few moments before pulling out a wooden box. It fit snugly in her large hands and had intricate designs all over with a few words of Oleti scattered about it.

"This is Kon'rir."

She sat back down.

"Mages usually play it back home because you need magic for the cards."

The carvings and words on the box would start to glow blue and light up Haru's face a bit. Slowly a line would draw itself at the top of the box, revealing itself to be a lid. The contents of would be a box of cards with weird symbols and images on them.

"Well, the goal is to take over the enemy city through the use of these cards." She would lay out two different decks of cards.

Setting aside another casrd a large projection of a field appeared before them with a plethora of squares across the board. It was so massive in fact that Haru had to scoot back a bit as the magic merely floated behind her and projected the rest of the board that way.

"Every card moves differently and some hold different effects on the board state. Think of it like chess but with a little more Abra Kadabra." She chuckled at her own joke "You take the cit by either lowering my total life or rendering me unable to fight back....oh and one other thing. Every turn a card will appear telling us the story of the game."

Haru was ready to leave it at that but remembered Hazel truly had no knowledge of what she was talking about. "This is to say your actions have consequences. Burning a farm square to deprive me of the ability to draw for instance could cause a board wide famine making us both lose life.....I feel it would be easier to teach you by showing you."

"To play a card just say the magical word on it, and you get to start with six cards in hand."

Haru would scoop up her six cards and watch the board randomly generated different tiles with different landscapes such as mountains, rivers, swamp etc. Places facing severe weather would even have a cute magical depiction above.

OOC: If you actually want to have them play the game we could do that, or we could have it be something they do in the background while speaking. Up to you.

"Fair enough." Haru sifted through her cards for a moment and then looked at the board. Since units couldn't be placed wherever she checked her options. The first two rows were always alotted to the player and Haru didn't have much in the way of easy to pass terrain. A majority of it was mountains and forest.

"See how the first two rows light up?You are free to place anything in those spaces. So I'll play a construction card to clear some of this forest here." Haru muttered a magical word in Oleti causing the card to dissipate from her hand and a small patch of the forest tiles in her range to clear away into plains.

"Simple enough I think. If you say Hy'rum the card will describe its effect toward the bottom." Her cards burned new words toward the bottom of her cards, explaining everything. A small frown appeared on her face. "Just remember to not use magic when you want to avoid misplays."

A small laugh escaped her.

"That is a good question actually." Haru would look up and realize that Iza wasn't laying down anymore and must've been doing something devious...or going to the bathroom. Either one was terrible thing because they all would somehow end with Haru hiring her for messing up Hazels place.

In fact Iza was doing the former. She was messing around in Hazels room looking for something to mess with that wouldn't be glaringly obvious. She had already gone through the girls underwear and other personals before checking under her bed. Nothing was painfully easy to mess with that would constitute a good prank. Haru had said fire wasn't an option so burning down the girls house was off the table.

So, instead of that she left several shadow constructs lying in the darkness of Hazel' room. As long as the lights didn't reach them thy would surely last until triggered by an unsuspecting passer by.

Haru put her cards down and stood up calling for Iza. "You want me to go get her?I'd let you come but I fear that her disappearance wasn't for good intentions or a quick run to the bathroom."
