Her offense was oddly reassuring, but Tal couldn't help his skeptical look at the cards. Special, huh? He didn't say it out loud, but his poker face was notoriously bad.
Then again, maybe they were magic cards? A god-gift, or enchanted by someone like Deimos? Slowly the skepticism faded as he watched her shuffling the deck, but her explanation shattered his assumptions and his nose started to wrinkle again at the concept of bits of cardboard being wise
Maybe she sensed his suspicions, because she made an offer that interrupted his scowl and made him actually think. If the cards weren't really magic, what was the harm? His food wasn't out yet, and he didn't have a better way to kill time while he waited so...
His scowl turned thoughtful and he spent a minute contemplating a question that was troubling him. Reaching up to rub the back of his neck in discomfort at the awkward silence, he felt the band of his Goggles that were usually hung there and his expression smoothed over. "Actually... yeah. There is somethin' I've been stuck on. I need t'find someone who can do illusion magic t'help me out with somethin'. Can those cards tell me where I could find someone like that?"
