[se] pushed from the precipice

Alys

Her name sounded, perhaps, vaguely familiar, but not enough that the seer could place it, so she simply shook her head and smiled. "It's strange, that we could all have been in the Grounds for all those years and still find people we've never met," she commented. Of course, the Grounds was a large area, and Alys hadn't been the most social of creatures even before beginning her journey as a seer. There were probably all sorts of people from the Grounds she'd never met, and this young woman was merely one of them.

Ellyra seemed more intrigued in Alys's profession, and the seer tilted her head to one side in thought at the question. "Of a sort," she agreed. "I read the tarot, and can give insights into a querent's life through the cards. Seeing the future, though, is difficult, because any decision we make, or any decision those around us make, have a million little impacts on how our future will go. So in terms of specifics, I wouldn't be able to predict, say, the hair color of the person you will marry, but I could tell you if love is in the cards for you." She smiled a little at her own joke. "Would you be interested in a reading? I would be happy to read for you."
