<strong>Chisato Arikawa<br/>Time: June 5th, afternoon<br/>Location: Shopping District, "Threads of Fate"<br/>Tagged: Shine</strong><br/><br/>Despite looking out of place, Chisato didn't hesitate to make herself comfortable once she'd been seated, stretching her legs out under the table while being careful not to kick her host, and covering a tiny yawn with a cupped palm.<br/><br/>"Oh, tarot cards," she spoke up after the suited gentleman made that known. "I've heard of that, mm." Who hadn't, though? Runes, she... knew something like that<em>existed</em>. So, she was glad he'd be using the cards and not the... stones? letters? whatever runes were. She'd feel a bit less ignorant.<br/><br/>"Oh, right, of course." Her name. "Chisato. Um, that is to say, Chisato Arikawa. But, please, just Chisato's fine."<br/><br/>She folded her hands in her lap when Shine began dealing the cards. Hm, maybe dealing wasn't the right term, that was more for card games...<br/><br/>As he started the card-reading, Chisato gradually leaned forwards a little, her head tilting ever-so-slightly to the left. It<em>was</em>interesting to listen to him talk; but, of course, fortune telling was just superstition. She new<em>that</em>much, so... how was he doing it?<em>Maybe I have an accent he picked up on? Or it could be my clothes, maybe they're not in style in Inaba.</em>True, her outfit was a bit unduly warm.<em>As for me being a stranger here... maybe it's because I didn't know what this place was. It could've been something I said when I came in, too.</em>Her brows furrowed slightly--both trying to recall anything she might have said to give such a clue, and because the reading was starting to get a bit... creepy.<br/><br/>It wasn't what he was saying. Sure, it was all accurate, it all applied to her--the past and present stuff, at least--but a lot of it was stuff, she thought, that you could twist to make sense for almost<em>anyone</em>. So, no, it wasn't that... It was how he was talking, she realized. He was very... serious, about this, in a way that raised goosebumps along her shoulders. As he went on, she pursed her lips.<br/><br/>"...Oh, um... thank you." She took the card Shine had offered, blinking at it and getting her overactive imagination under control. "But, is that really okay? I mean, don't you need the full deck and everything?.... Oh, unless you have spares, I guess."<br/><br/>Either way, she stood up, feeling a bit clumsier than she had while sitting down. "Oh, and by the way, you're... um, you're really good at this." She offered her hand to shake, flashing the eyepatch-wearing gentleman a brief smile. Just because he was unsettling didn't mean she shouldn't be polite.
