Ever watchful, Zoya noted how the man's hands wandered. If she had any concern with thievery, it may have come up then. But, as it was, she was becoming more and more amused by this strange little man.<br/><br/>"Very well, Bob. Thank you for answering my question. Let's get to that reading, shall we?"<br/><br/>Picking up the deck of cards, she began to quickly shuffle them, all while keeping an eye on the man before her. While she had no concern with regard to thievery, she didn't want him to attempt it, either. The consequences for him would be most dire, indeed.<br/><br/>She spread the deck across the table before them, carefully examining them before selecting three cards and placing them to the side. She collected the remaining cards and put them in a pile to her right and turned over the three cards, putting them between her and Bob.<br/><br/>(http://schitzpopinov.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/27916Ace_of_Swords_by_puimun1.jpg)(http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTHH0ft6dXvm2-hEx-o3C3DJ4kYS0Y5IN_AToqaPNvxEuWX1a9GhA)(http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRARByqKPd6ik4HF3CghSQSbblHT0lfW2WHVpP65rVePUOJy0Wx)<br/><br/>Nodding slightly, Zoya almost had a little chuckle to herself before telling Bob his fortune.<br/><br/>"Well, Bob, this is quite interesting. The first card is the Ace of Swords. Aces are all about a beginning; it is the seed from which new growth emerges. Swords are all about thoughts and the intellect. So, I would say that you have, or will soon, hatch a new plan, or idea, or plot, to get ahead. This will be a plan that truly catapults you to the heights where you want to be. Just be careful, as you never know where you will land once back on solid ground."<br/><br/>"Next, we have the King of Swords. Again, Swords are thoughts and the intellect. This tells me that you are an old soul. Once who has experienced many battles, more than most for your age, at least. You are skilled at things to do with the mind. But, you may not always use your best judgment to your advantage. This is telling you that you must take your time to ensure a victory."<br/><br/>"Finally, we have the Eight of Wands. Wands are all about taking action. But, the eight indicates great haste. It indicates a need to move fast, whether or not that is to your advantage. Your actions are already on the wind, but do they mesh well with the plans you are making? Or have made? Be careful that your haste does not put all that planning to waste, as the saying goes."<br/><br/>Zoya looked into the man's eyes. At least he was finally quiet, for once.<br/><br/>"So, from what I see here, it would seem you will be able to hatch your ideas, but that you should weigh your actions against past experience to guarantee success. Also, that you should be careful not to act too soon. Does that ring true for you?" She placed her elbows on her table, tenting her fingers above the cards there, watchful of his reaction.
