Initially, Rira had thought the little mage to be any place but the rec room. One reason was the energy of the girl displaying a crave for attention and so the witch assumed that Faye was one to want to be outside, running the show. Not watching it from inside. Second reason being... well, Rira didn't exactly know anything about her. Had she stopped to study her at the few times they had met, she would've gotten to know her in and out. Which would essentially have shortened the search for her. Yet, the woman had pushed herself to go and make sure her assumptions were correct. Especially after the words of the boy she had encountered earlier. 

"Well, well." Rira mumbled to herself examining the student masses. "You'd think a place like this would be noisier." As if on cue, she heard the small explosion of smoke coming from the TV section. "See?" Glancing towards the direction of the noise she huffed before making her way to the source. It was then that she spotted no one else but her target, playing with magic tricks not surprisingly.

"Oh what a coincidence, we met again!" She smiled upon pausing to stand beside Faye, her eyes examining the small mess the girl had managed to create. "I gotta say... I'm shocked that we have yet to introduce ourselves! We have met a few times now." Not bothering to look around, Rira let a smoke of blood convert into the solid form of a chair quickly before seating herself on it, her leg resting on the other.

Rira chuckled softly shaking the hand of the smaller girl. She made sure to look as friendly as possible and it was quite easy with the gullibility of the child. She smiled again when she noticed that her little trick had entertained Faye. Rira contemplated not giving out her real name as it might hinder her plans but she decided to risk it. "Faye? Suits you quite well. My name is Rira but call me whatever you wish to." In fact, a nickname would be very helpful to the woman. Nicknames are always harder to identify then actual, real names.

"Another show? Maybe in the future, however, I have a problem and I figured you could help me since your magic is the most fitting sort I could think of." Rira switched her mood to a less joyful one. She made sure to appear unpleasantly distressed, at least in her body movement as she crossed her arms together. "You see, I've heard of a certain crime group plotting something bad. Horrible. Since I reside in that specific area, I haven't been able to sleep well knowing that a group of criminals rule the place. So, Faye, I have come to ask for your help."

Standing up from her seat in a serious manner, the chair melted into a pool of blood before rising back up to swirl around Rira's finger and disappear into a smoke of oblivion. As she glanced down at her hands, she gave a sad smile. "You know, I could even join one of your shows if we manage to clear my home place of those criminals. Oh but of course, if you don't wish to help me, I am more than fine with that! I just figured I could use a little help of a friend." Rira knew she needed more than help. She needed a small army to ruin the people that had ruined her plans. There were two of them in mind, two that were currently ruling certain locations that she deemed possible to take over. If she would go along with it, she would not just take over, she would make sure the pair pay a price. She wasn't angry at them for hindering her goal. She was just irritated with them delaying it.

Rira's face lit up in a bewildered smile, her body stiffening a bit to the hug. She was not used to such close physical contact but she would have to put up with it, and perhaps contribute it back. "You would genuinely help me?" She grabbed the hands of her new, beloved friend, squeezing them gently. This had taken her shorter than expected, which was more than fine, it had practically taken her by surprise. The way this mage screamed gullible was worth a year of deception and lies.

"I will join a million shows of yours after this! In fact, we should get going right away so it won't disturb your work schedule." Rira beamed, pulling the girl down as she seated herself once again on a chair, this time a real one. "See, there's this group of criminals that claim they want to take over the city for their own purposes, which I'm assuming are really evil. I heard that they were planning to forbid entertainment business such as shows, theatres, musicals and everything exciting! They also lie to their people and say the don't, but they are actually working on it as we speak." She started, her information not entirely factual. She did have contacts distributed over the majority of professions and one of them, a scientist, had given her minimal data on the plans of the Isabello family. While she did not truly care for their future plans, therefore she did not ask further, she knew she could use some of it to turn this naive mage against them.

Her voice changed into a whisper, giving the impression that their strategizing would need to be kept private. "I heard they were planning on destroying Shanghai and I can't let that happen. What I need us to do is get there and fend them off, possibly destroy their work which happens to be located in specific buildings of the city. If we could do that, their plan would get delayed and much easier to stop! Would you help me in opposing them? Your magic would certainly take them off guard." See, Rira did not only plan on attacking the Isabellos. She was keen on testing them out, grasping a detailed idea of how their powers worked and what their limits were. She was also planning on seeing the extent that Faye could go to, perhaps she would be better of keeping her as an ally. After all, friends don't compete against each other, no?
