Mildew watched Aurelias suspicion of the juice with a bemused smile on her face. If she was in the right kind of mood, she could be offended by that kind of hesitation, but as it was she just found it funny that the human apparently couldn't even trust a drink when thirsty. "It's mostly apples...some berries that grow around here too." Her eyes drifted off for a moment, then snapped back to Aurelia along with a mischievous smirk. "Oh, and bird shit scraped off the roof. Secret ingredient."

It was up to Aurelia to decide if it was a joke or not.

The acceptance of her offer drew a more genuine smile, one that could be described as menacing if one chose to see it that way. "Oh, you don't need to pay me, sweet. The joy is in seeing the cards. Now...if you want anything to fix your fortunes, that's a different story, but maybe it'll be great, hm?" She knelt down and picked up a last few plants, letting the beetle on her fingers wander off into the undergrowth. "You'll need to come with me to my home. Quite the honour; no human has been in there for over three hundred years."

Oh, come a little closer
