[Once he holds it out to her, she leans in to take a better look - crimson eyes taking in the details with a soft hum, before her eyes flick back up to Eizen. Vessel? His curse? If it's always fated to land on tails, is it a curse relating to fate or luck? Is it related to that... odd warped feeling she's picking up on?

All these questions drift through her mind, and she leans back as she cants her head slightly - arms folded over her chest, as she debates which question to ask first.]

Your curse? What kind of curse is it? [Lets start with that first.]

[Questions like those are ones he's used to being asked so he doesn't even spare a second thought to answer it.]

I bring ill luck and misfortune to others just by existing around them. [He turns the coin over in his hand revealing the image of a goddess. Just seeing that side of the coin is like being taunted by luck and fate. Soon after, he pockets it before crossing his arms.]

The same is applied to myself. Men who travel under my leader ship rarely live longer than three years. Regular journeys turn into dangerous trials, yet my crew thinks nothing of it, as if they enjoy being tested. Masochists, the lot of them, but they're good men.

[He chuckles thinking about them, and how much it does affect him when another one of his crew members is tragically killed. It's inevitable, but doesn't make it hurt less.]

Basically, if you think it can go wrong when I'm around, it will go wrong.

[Ah, so it's as she suspected. Yet, the knowledge of his curse doesn't seem to bother her - nor the extent of it, instead simply smiling softly as he speaks of his crew. Glad that he has people who would stand by him, even with the curse that lingers around him.]

They really do sound like good men. A bunch of loyal masochists.

[A quiet chuckle escapes her, before her expression becomes a tad more serious. It's... interesting, to meet someone with a similar affiliation to her. Granted, she has more control over her own curse, but it's not often she meets someone even slightly like her.]

Well, I'm the optimistic type, so don't worry about that. And you're in good company, all my powers revolve around bad luck and curses. I used to be able to bless things, a long time ago, but that's no longer the case.

[A pause, before she grins once more - cheeky and bright, uncaring of what ails them both.] Well, I guess it would technically be bad company.

You got that right. I think we're all masochists aboard that ship.

[He smiles at that description of his crew. It's not wrong, which is the part that amuses him the most.

And he wonders if she's one, too. Optimism is great, but his curse is no joke. Granted, he's almost tired of how he's tried to explain that over and over, but only to be blown off. That is until someone's seen his curse in action and find it's pretty legit.

Though hearing her talk about her powers and cursing things, well... he's got to admit he's pretty curious about her now. It's not the first he's met someone similar to him here, but it's still pretty rare.]

Same here. My domain used to be a blessed one, but it distorted. [But the way she makes it sound, it's different than his cursed domain.] You almost speak as if you can cast curses, unlike me who curses anything in my vicinity whether I want to or not.

[He laughs again. He really seems amused by her the more and more this goes on.]

[Considering how he speaks of it, she doubts it's any joke. But Anastasia is the stubborn sort - you have to be, when you want to kill a god. So even if he's cursed to cause misfortune, it does little to deter her - and even when she does inevitably suffer bad luck by being around him, she still won't care.

And considering she's decided she likes him, she has no intentions of bailing - misfortune or not. Plus it's interesting to hear about their similarities, someone who had also been blessed before becoming cursed. Not everyday she meets someone like that.]

Yeah, I have some control over it, though I can't really decide what's gonna happen. Just that it'll suck for whoever I inflict it on.

[So she tends to abuse it in fights. Though then her mind drifts to her other form, which isn't as... controlled.]

Unless I'm in my more angelic form, and then I just have a constant bad aura, like a miasma, coming from me. It's useful in a fight, but it means I have to go solo so others don't get caught in it.

[Not that she seems too fussed, shrugging her shoulders with another grin. At least it provides an interesting twist during some fights.]

I can empathize the fighting solo part. Usually I just end up making fights tougher for one reason or another.

[Whether it's causing hoards of enemies to show up, people to become corrupt almost randomly with demonic power, weird weather changes, the ground swallowing them up -- something is almost bound to go wrong in a way that's almost predictable and yet unpredictable to Eizen. He swears his curse has its own personality.

But yeah, a constant bad aura. That... he totally understands that. Almost a little too well as he gives her a knowing smirk.]

Sounds like we're peas in a pod then. I'm used to the bad luck, so we can fight together if going solo is getting boring for you.

[Eizen gets lonely just like anyone else, news at eleven.]

At least being the heavy hitter means I can charge in ahead.

[It doesn't help that she attracts angels at times with her aura in her other form, and those are a hassle to deal with. Apparently it makes it easier to sniff out the "traitor" but it's when she's most powerful. Such a pain.

Good thing one of her friends has an anti-divine weapon. But the offer to fight together gets her to perk up, grinning brightly once more.]

I'll take you up on that, fights are more fun with someone else. [Then her grin takes a turn for something for mischievous - sorry Eizen, she can't resist teasing.]

I wouldn't mind your company for other things too. [Judging by the shit-eating grin, the less innocent suggestion is more of a joke.]
