[It's daytime. Eater is sitting at a desk with a deck of Tarot cards in front of her.]

Excuse me, but would anyone like a Tarot reading?

[Like last time, these are real readings unless specifically requested otherwise.]

[harpbeat]

I've performed these last year.

[croibhristeoir]

Has it really been that long?

[harpbeat]

It seems so. Hard to imagine that time has flown.

[croibhristeoir]

It is, yes...

Would you mind doing one for me?

[harpbeat]

I would not have made the offer if I minded. What would you like to ask?

[croibhristeoir]

I'm...not really sure I have a specific question.

[harpbeat]

I can simply ask about your future, if you'd like that.

[croibhristeoir]

If it is not too much trouble.

[harpbeat]

[Seven cards are dealt.]

Your past is represented by the Page of Swords. You have done your best to be honest, forthright, and intelligent. Yet the page who has yet to become a knight is still not done growing, no?

Your present is shown by the Fool. The Fool takes supposedly foolish choices and believes that all will work out for the best. A new beginning.

You are helped by the Two of Pentacles. The juggler in this card can balance many tasks and aspects of life at once, and enjoy himself in the meantime.

You are hurt by the Ten of Wands. Diarmuid, you have the tendency to take everything on yourself when it's not necessary. Rely more on those around you.

Those around you are shown by the Queen of Pentacles. Nurturing, giving, and always ready to support you.

Your path is shown by the Emperor. It is time for you to become a leader, as well as offering security and comfort to those who you lead.

Finally, the result: the Knight of Pentacles. The hardworking, unwavering knight in this position, as the end result of a Page, is a clear sign of further growth.

how the fuck do you do that

[eater you are going to make him cry]

I...I'm no leader. I surely never could be.

[harpbeat]

Are you so certain of that?

[croibhristeoir]

Of course I am sure. There is no way I could ever be like Arturia, or even Archer and Rider. I've never been anything more than a knight whose happiness is in serving others. Someone like me has no right or ability to lead anyone.

[harpbeat]

In matters of strength the one to compare to you is the serial killer. In matters of nobility I would trust you over almost all others. In matters of diligence I would trust you over all others.

You can hardly say that you lack the ability. As for right, who are you to decide whether you have the right to lead when it is your followers who choose that?

[croibhristeoir]

...I still do not know if I can.

[harpbeat]

Well, it is merely a reading. You have the choice whether to follow its advice or not.

[croibhristeoir]

...

[Sigh.]

[croibhristeoir]

[And then nothing but serious:]

Do you think that would have made her happy?

[harpbeat]

I believe it would have made her happy to see you happy and confident in yourself again.

[croibhristeoir]

I can try that much, at least.

[harpbeat]

I wish you the utmost success.
