how did this asylum become where i sleep
Sah was certainly tricky to read. Some clients were like that, providing Alys with a challenge that she usually didn't encounter. Perhaps it was because he hadn't really asked for the reading - she'd offered, and he'd kindly accepted. Or perhaps she simply needed to continue, and things would become more clear.
She wasn't sure what she wanted to see from the cards, really, what with Sah's friendship with Tal. It felt almost like an invasion of his privacy, and, as sometimes happened when reading for someone she knew, she was inclined to try to figure out what they wanted to hear rather than what the cards said. While she'd gotten much better about this over the years, it did sometimes come back to her.
So she drew the next card, hoping for clarity, and was relieved when it was a pentacles card, symbolic of material possessions, rather than another cups, which might have spoken further to emotion and romance. "The two of pentacles," she said, showing the depiction of a man juggling two coins, complete with the sideways eight that symbolized infinity. "Balance, resourcefulness, and alignment. Paired with the Page of Cups, this suggests a recent change of some kind that you are working to balance." Perhaps this related to his recent hybridization. She could imagine that such a big change would indeed take some time to manage properly.
