ALYS
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
Alas, Alys was not a mind reader, and the stranger was a convincing actress. The seer knew nothing of the inner turmoil faced by the hooded figure: not of the tension underlyinng her confidence, nor of her wish to use the lighter deck in place of the darker. Had she known, perhaps she would have gently nudged the stranger in that direction; the cards could sense when someone was reluctant, and it sometimes affected the reading in one way or another. As it was, though, Alys simply collected the lighter deck and stowed it in a silken pouch, tucking it away before beginning to shuffle the darker deck.
"Is there anything in particular you wish to know?" she asked, as easily as though she had done so a thousand times before. "Some people wish to know more about their love life, or their career, or any manner of other things. Others just want a general reading for the season. Either way, the cards will reveal what you need to know."

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
