She could almost feel his fear as she got the go ahead to begin. Flicking her hair back once more, she turned her full attention to the cards before her.<br/><br/>She turns over the first card, revealing the Eight of Pentacles.<br/>(http://kufty.com/tarot/tarot_cards/images/basicwaite/basic_8pents.jpg)<br/><br/>"I see you working very hard at your craft. You have a solid understanding of what you need to do to get the job done. And you do it. You are diligent and a very hard worker. Your boss appreciates you for the work you do. This may actually cause you to draw ire from those who work with you, however. You do so well, that you make them look like they do poorly."<br/><br/>His expression is immutable, so she turns over the next card, revealing the Three of Pentacles.<br/>(http://kufty.com/tarot/tarot_cards/images/hybrid-tarot/threep.jpg)<br/><br/>"Despite how well you perform your duties, I see that you wish to return to schooling for it. You have the desire to learn more, do more, and eventually be in your boss's position. But, you know that you cannot do that without the proper instruction. Taking your time at it, being the "apprentice" is not enough and will take too long in your eyes."<br/><br/>Moving quickly to the next card, she turns it over to reveal The Star. Her expression here looks significantly relieved.<br/>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/RWS_Tarot_17_Star.jpg)<br/><br/>"Ah, now this is one of my favourite cards! Here we see someone willing to cultivate the seeds they have sown. There is hope here; hope for a brighter tomorrow. You will definitely see your dreams come to fruition, so long as you keep them well tended to and fertile."<br/><br/>"To sum up, I would say it would best benefit you to go. But, should you go, you should seek out higher learning. Do not waste the time of those who would support you on your journey. Make good use of it. And, indeed, I would take any support you have<em>with you</em>. You will do better with their support."<br/><br/>She paused and regarded the cards once more and satisfied with her reading, she looked back up at him expectantly, looking for that "aha!" moment to cross his face. Relaxing slightly, she casually stroked at her chin, her fingers tracing the line of it slowly, yet deliberately.
