Then, when they were given the 'green light' he shrugged one shoulder and nudge Kellen with the other. "You ready for me to read your future?" A grin was spared to his friend as he wiggled his eyebrows and pushed himself to his seat to grab a deck of cards. Not particularly sure on which one to chose or which spread, he wiggled his fingers a little over each before selecting what appeared to be a well-worn set. The more worn, the more used, the more reliable? Sure.

With a plop he returned to his seat and set the deck between Kellen and himself, sparing it another blink. "I'll be honest mate, I really don't know what we're doing. I have a foggy idea, but the fog is sort of looking like pea soup at the moment."

Kellen grinned at Sabel, glad someone else looked as lost as he did. This was one of those classes where he wanted to do well; it was just that his brain wasn't necessarily wired for it, "I'm completely and totally ready. I played Muggle Jenga, and passed my Ancient Runes O.W.L., and I can do this." Because those were clearly all the qualifications needed to do a Tarot reading.

Once Sabel was back with the cards, he took them and began to shuffle the deck. As he did so, he commented, "I have no idea why you always insist on using the most battered and unsightly equipment available." It probably wasn't a good idea to insult a Tarot deck while shuffling it, but if anything it would allow the thing to tap into his personality and give a more accurate reading, right? Right.

He set the deck on the table, cut it, and after restacking turned up the top card: Justice.

"Right, there's my significator. Read me a fortune, sir."
