Aurelia
Aurelia's gaze flitted up to Mildew's as the witch recited some sort of prayer she couldn't understand. Hopefully it was a good one. She leaned back a bit when the cards were spread out before her. "Three? Okay.." Hesitation made her take a pause as she gazed at the backs of the cards. It mattered which ones she chose, right? Or would the cards already know the answer? Would they hold the same outcome no matter which ones she chose?
She wasn't sure how this really worked and she didn't want to find an answer she wouldn't like or distract with unnecessary questions. Mildew was waiting and the only way to find out was to just pick the cards already.
Biting her lip, Aurelia chose two from the sides and one from the center. She flipped them over each time with a glance up at Mildew, not sure if she was allowed to look at them or not and to gauge the other woman's reactions. What she saw, she admittedly didn't understand. Her brows furrowed.
Setting them down in front of Mildew in the way she picked them, she looked up again with hopeful uncertainty.
"I like this one..." she pressed her forefinger across the lion's face, the card entitled with 'Strength'. Then, she withdrew her hand and awaited... whatever was supposed to come next.
{Strength} {Right side up}
{The Moon} {Right side up}
{The Star} {Right side up}
