4th illusion: The games we play [Accidental Video/Action for Zeref]

[fairysoul]

{ The feed is skewed, as if the amulet had been removed and unceremoniously set down, possibly on a writing surface of a desk or a bookshelf. It shows Zeref and Mavis seated in a room of an inn together, each holding a hand of cards. Aside from a half-empty cup of black coffee at Zeref's side, now cold from how long their game had been going on, there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy about the room; sunlight from a nearby window indicated the time of day, but that's about it. }

Does your guild know we’re back from the Dream Docks? { Zeref’s eyes scan the cards on the table, and then raise to Mavis' face, as if trying to read her expression. }
They do. {Mavis looks back at him calmly, her expression unreadable. She knows better than to betray how good her hand is by showing it on her face. }

Do you have any idea who nominated you for the Guardianship of Fayren?
I do.
{Zeref smiles, both at her answer and at seeing his successive attempts to deconcentrate the young looking guild master fail. } Of course, you do.

{ He lays down a card and takes a sip of his coffee as he waits for Mavis to make her move. His expression becomes absent, almost dreamy for a moment before his attention returns to his game partner. }
Mavis, be honest with me. Considering what we saw, there… Would it surprise you if I said that if I had to nominate someone today, I would make the exact same choice?

{Mavis looks up at him, but the feed ends before her answer can be heard. }
