In truth, Alys had assumed that Zavien would simply go about his business, and she was pleasantly surprised when he remained in his seat, hesitantly accepting her offer. She smiled, pleased with her success, and began to prepare the table, pulling out the two decks she kept on herself most commonly and shuffling them briefly as they talked. "Tarot is a unique art," she told him as she worked. "Some fortune tellers will try and say they reveal the future, but to promise an explicit answer is a lie. The cards will probably not reveal a simple yes or no to your question; rather, they will provide guidance as to how you might overcome the obstacle of which you speak. The cards will provide the tools; you must still put in the work.
"Also," she added. "The future is not set in stone. Anyone who tells you different is, frankly, most likely looking for money rather than truth. But the future is comprised of a million little choices, and the difference of any one choice can drastically change what will happen." It was a rather long-winded way of warning Zavien to stay away from certain charlatans who would claim to read the future as though it were a book. "So... yes, they can tell you something about whether you'll overcome your current obstacle. What you do with that information, however, is up to you."
She showed him the two decks: one darker, and one lighter. "If you're still interested, select the deck that calls to you. Follow your instincts. If you're not, then no hard feelings. Tarot isn't for everyone, and that's okay."
