Nova
Clever as the devil
Her eyes followed her brother out of the tent, sending him a mental thanks for his cooperation. Then she turned back to the woman across from her, a kind smile on her lips. She listened to the explanation, nodding with sympathy for her cause. It wasn't an uncommon request, if not quite broad. Despite that, she gave her customer a confident look. "I see. Let's take a look, shall we?"
She stared intensely into the crystal ball, running her hands over its smooth glass surface. Her illusion magic sent shimmering sparkles over it, a way to distract and draw the eyes. It wasn't more than a moment before she spotted Vesper's shadowy symbols above the tent opening: a bumpy, windy road and a broken heart. Nova recalled that the road meant 'a rough past or recent struggles,' and the other was too obvious to forget. She hummed a melodic sound, considering how best to string through the specifics. "Yes, yes. Your path has been troubled, indeed. I'm sorry for your difficulties." Tilting her head, as if noticing something new, she stilled her hands. "It doesn't help that your love life has also struggled." She tsked her tongue, shaking her head sadly. "Such a shame. No wonder you feel adrift."
Nova shifted her hands, as if sifting through a timeline within the crystal ball. "I have no doubt you will have a change in fortunate, but I shall consult the magic nonetheless." Which meant she would wait for more information from the Vespy-behind-the-curtain.
