"I would say that my readings are very accurate, my dear boy. I do not tell people what they want to hear. I tell them what they need to hear." She leaned back in her chair as well, mimicking the man's actions. Let him look, she thought, I am not the one with things to hide. She met his gaze steadily as he seemed to contemplate what to ask.

"A reading it is then...it is a gentle question, but I hope you do not mind if I use a harsher deck. Something tells me, you need this right now..." She kept her eyes on him as she shuffled. Her fingers deftly moving the cards about, making them rattle together. She quickly cut the deck and dealt four cards in a single row.<br/><br/>(http://aurarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/8-cups-rider-waite-177x300.jpg)(http://aurarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/17-star-universal-waite-tarot.jpg)(http://aurarcana.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/hermit-universal-waite-tarot-165x300.jpg)(http://aurarcana.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/4-emperor-universal-waite-tarot.jpg)<br/><br/>The Eight of Cups - a lone figure is seen walking away from 8 cups stacked on each other<br/>The Star - a naked woman is seen pouring water onto both earth and into a pool, several stars are above her<br/>The Hermit - an old wise man with a staff and a light is hunched and walking alone<br/>The Emperor - a wizened war general sits upon his throne, rams heads decorating it boldly<br/><br/>Looking up at him, to gauge his response to the pictures on the cards, she took a moment to breathe in deeply and exhale softly.
