She may have been sheltered and rather naive, but she wasn't stupid. When he'd freed her from her cage she'd mistakenly assumed he'd dispatched with whatever dastardly knave had abducted her, but it was becoming quite clear that the odd man was very at home in the eerie little building. As he produced the tarot cards and continued his spiel, the princess's violet eyes darted around her surroundings. The candles cast strange shadows on the walls. and things seemed to move within the glass jars of voodoo ingredients along the shelves. It felt as if the skulls' sightless eyes were staring at her. "No..." She answered, hesitantly, "not quite."<br/><br/>She recoiled just slightly when the cards were spread before her. The idea that a deck of cards could predict her future seemed quite silly, but there was clearly something unnatural at work here. Her previous experience with magic concerning her future had not ended well, and there were no fairy godmothers here to save her this time. Hesitantly she reached out and placed three slender fingers on three adjacent cards, sliding them away from the rest of the deck.
