The hustle and bustle of the city was slow this winter morning. The streets were busy yes, but the sidewalks weren't. Snow was still falling, dusting the concrete walks. Luke sat at his little stall, under a large umbrella he had bought for a winter such as this. He was waiting, breathing onto his fingerless gloved hands to keep them warm, just waiting for a taker so he could earn some money.
Sure it was conning people, but it was a living and he had more than one mouth to feed.

persephone walked down the streets of the city slowly her hair hidden beneath the hood of the long white coat she wore. She frowned slightly when she saw the young man sat beneath the the large umbrella and breathing on his fingerless gloves.
She stopped when she reached him and looked down at the stall. " what is it that you are selling?" she said softly her voice had a musical hint to it that made her sound like something not of the earth.

Luke looked up to see a hooded lady asking what he sold. "I don't sell anything. I play a game of chance." he said. He didn't want to say he 'conned' people, in case she would want to play his game.

persephone looked at him closley for a moment before smiling " what is this game of chance that you play?" she said softly, she shivered slightly not used to the cold, She normally only came up from the underworld in spring.

Luke breathed on his hands once more before sitting up, putting three cards on the little stall he sat behind. The cards were bent in half to make little 'v's. He flipped the middle one over, revealing the Queen of hearts. "Basically Find the Queen." he said, flipping the card back over, mixing them up quickly like he would with a player. "I mix them up and you try to find it. If you can't, then you have to pay me."

persephone nodded before smiling again " well let me try this game of chance then." she said softly, she had watched him closely as he put the card back down and moved them around the table. " i bet the queen isn't on the table." she said to him her voice so low no one but him would hear it.

Luke gripped his heart in mock pain. "That hurts, miss." he said with a smirk. "Now why would I run a dishonest game? I see no point in it if I don't have a chance of losing."

persephone laughed " don't be like that. i know what you do." she said softly before smiling at him warmly. She looked up and noticed that it had stopped snowing before pulling her hood off her head and touching her hair. " How can you sit out here in this weather? it really would drive me insane."

Luke stacked his cards and put them away, leaning back in his chair. "It' not exactly my choice to sit here and cheat." he muttered, tucking his hands into his jacket pockets. He was cold, but he wasn't about to let this lady, who was quite pretty, know that he was freezing.

persephone smiled at him again " it's so cold at the moment. I'm just heading to the coffee shop nearby. Your welcome to join me." she said softly looking at him as she brushed her hair out of her face. " you must be cold as well, you look like you've been sat here a while."

Lke listened to her offer. It had been a while since he had a cup of good coffee. He just sighed. "I've been out here since 4 in the morning. And I don't want to make you pay for something that I should earn myself..." he said lowly taking his umbrella down.

" i really don't care it's nice to have company for once. I haven't really got any family in the area." she said softly before smiling at him and looking over at the nearby coffee shop.

Luke smiled and sighed. "It seems I cannot deter you, miss." he said, getting up, making sure his little stall would be safe for a while. "Alright. I guess I can walk you to the coffee shop." he said, smiling again, going to her side.
