[ The stillness is telling, though what it’s telling… Sebastian couldn’t guess, really. He knows the story of the god enough to know that such a fortune likely would resonate (and perhaps that’s why he had phrased it as he had), but there’s more there. Something soft and tender. It’s like red meat to a predator, and maybe Sebastian’s pupils have dilated just a little to reflect that despite himself.
But, when Set speaks and explains slightly, Sebastian’s breathes out a little laugh, and that little bit of coiled up tension is gone. He gestures to the spread with his gloved hand, and with it his eyes drop back to the cards. ]
Well, should you be curious, I do not mind sharing what stories I have heard of you or your kin. Though still, I hold no secret knowledge. All I have heard came from humans, so in that, I am sure there are inaccuracies. It is an amusing problem I run into with my own kind, after all.
[ He plays off the more serious atmosphere with lightness and other little promises because he imagines it’s wiser to not push this. To keep it closer to his chest for when, perhaps, he knows more. Set is an enemy, after all, albeit a delightful one. Who knows when this little flicker could be a place where his claws would find purchase? ]
And, to be fair, let us see what the cards tell me—
[ The sun, upright. Sebastian again looks at the spread and nods as he pieces together a story from them, though he imagines it will be very boring compared to Set’s. ]
And the Sun, finally. Positivity, fun, warmth, success, and vitality. All and all, a rather happy, if dull reading for me. With Death, it is not the end, but the beginning of something new. It is transformation and change that is sharp and sudden, but my own inner wisdom will guide me through it. I’ve the skill I need to go forward, though it may require some creativity to move and perhaps change the structures that exist to do so. The Sun says it is the right thing to do; I shall be happier for it and good fortune shall come my way.
[ just vibe baby you’re doing great!
It puts his score at 27… But with only a few more cards he draws the Fool Upright to win and end the game, so. Cheating asshole that somehow didn’t cheat at all. Don’t play cards with demons is the lesson here. ]
