Where the heart is (open)

[Falz]

Isaiah sighed in relief as the witch hunter went the other way. He had only been in the rain for a bit and already he was soaked to the skin. With his monkey tail, he truly did look like a drowned rat. Isaiah's eyes drifted up to the sky. Even if the witch hunter called off the rain, it would still be raining. It would just be raining less than it was now. Isaiah shrugged and looked at the other two.

"Well, the good news is we escaped that guy. The bad news is I look like a drowned rat."

A playful grin grew on Isaiah's face. He wasn't sure if the penny would drop on his joke, or even if they found it funny. This grin turned into a simple smile when Ally gave him a smile. This look was wiped off his face when Ally said she shouldn't stick around. This was probably it. It was then that Isaiah made a realisation. Ally said she didn't live anywhere. With this he made the assumption that she was an adventurer. Isaiah was actually planning on exploring too, after making an airship. It was a long shot, but maybe she'd go with him.

"Hey, Ally, I've got a question for you."

Isaiah's eyes shifted to Silva before returning back to Ally. Here goes.

"I'm currently making an airship, and after I've made it I was going to explore the region, possibly further. I was wondering if you wanted to tag along...if you're into that sort of thing, that is."

Silva smiled as their escape ended in success. He grinned and nudged them under an overhanging balcony, so they had some shelter. He gave Isaiah his cloak back, taking a deep red scarf from his bag and wrapping it around his head and shoulders.

He listened as Isaiah asked Ally to join him. An airship. How romantic. But he hadn't been invited...and why would he be? He was just a nuisance and a troublemaker. He sighed and rubbed his nose.

"How about I make it up for you? I can read your future." He said to both, cheering up as he flicked his wrist and drew up a stack of tarot cards.

OOC: Hello, can I ask whats taking so long to reply?

[Falz]

(I'm not sure, Ally hasn't been on for a few days. I'm guessing its school related.)

[Ally]

((Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I haven't been on you guys!! I've got some things I gotta do and I'm not sure I'm gonna be back on at all So you guys can continue the RP and pretend like Ally declined Isaiah's offer. Sorry! Hopefully I'll be back someday. ))

[Falz]

Isaiah watched as Ally turned away and walked off, after rejecting his offer. He could probably see why. They had only just met after all. Scratching the back of his head, Isaiah's attention turned to Silva. He stopped scratching, and a look of realisation grew on his face. Silva probably thought that he was annoyed with him, or something. After putting his cloak back on, Silva gave the offer of giving him a tarot reading. Isaiah spoke, with a smile.

"Sure, why not?"

While Isaiah didn't particularly believe that predictions from tarot cards came true, he was always interested in the outcome. Isaiah pulled up his hood, since he wasn't sure how the people of Silvereye would react if they saw their prince having their future told. Sure, it wasn't a bad thing, but people made the biggest deals out of the smallest things.

"Well, lead the way."

[Yvon [Silva Groves]]

Silva nodded to Isaiah and led him through the streets, every now and again looking over his shoulder to make sure the witch hunter wasn't going after them.

"This will work." Silva said as they arrived at a sheltered courtyard. There were basic wooden tables here, used as a public gathering place during the day. Silva lighted the overhead oil lamp over one of the tables and sat down on the simple wooden stool.

"So, I'd say a general reading?" He asked, drawing a packet of cards out of nowhere and twirling them between his fingers. "They read your past, present...and future." He mused.

"Or, you can ask a specific question, and the cards will tell you aspects of this subject." He added, playing with the cards some more as he shuffled them with great speed.

[Falz]

Isaiah followed Silva through the streets, noticing that Silva kept looking over his shoulder. Most likely looking out for the witch hunter. That was understandable. If he actually caught them (including Isaiah, since he kicked him in the nuts), he'd likely kill them where they stood. Eventually, the duo arrived at a courtyard. Isaiah sat down at the same moment Silva did. He nodded while Silva explained the options for the tarot reading. After he finished, Isaiah nodded one more and spoke.

"Yeah, just a general reading. I don't really have any specific questions."

Truth be told, he had a lot of questions. Would he ever get to meet someone and have his own family, like he always wanted? would he be successful with his airship? would this war with Sideris ever escalate and cause each of the capitals to be destroyed in the process? It would probably take too long to voice all of these questions. Maybe some time later, but for now a general reading would do.

"So, how does this work then? do I pick a card off the top of the deck, or is it all handled by you?"

[Yvon [Silva Groves]]

Silva nodded. A general reading it was, then. In truth, he still had no idea this other before him was a royal prince, or he might have acted more polite to him. But still, he was really grateful that Isaiah had saved him.

Silva took a card from his hand and showed Isaiah how to flip it and lay it on the table, from (Isaiah's) left to right. Silva drew the card of the Fool. He put the card back in and shuffled the cards.

"Alright, draw three cards-" He said, spreading the cards in his hand, face down. "Then flip the first one as I showed you."

OOC: I'll tell you which cards you pick, that will be fun ^^

[Falz]

(Could you just say he picked the cards? I have no idea how to drag out picking cards. >>')

[Yvon [Silva Groves]]

The first card drawn depicted a faintly feminine looking pope. A clear religious figure.

Silva lay the card down on the table and traced a finger over it. "The Hierophant represents your past. A conservative upbringing, filled with education and knowledge." He fell silent a moment, his eyes going foggy a moment. And that was literal, the color of his eyes changed to a milky white. Magic, clearly. A seer?
"Conservatism blocked you from reaching maturity. Another card has been blocking you..." His hand seemed to move on his own, drawing a blind card from the stack, placing it upon the Hierophant.

The Emperor. Silva blinked and gave the other a slightly confused look, not sure with what he had just done.

They drew the second card and flipped it on the table, in the middle. "The present...is the Wheel of Fortune." The card depicted exactly that. A wheel of destiny and fortune. "You overcame the Emperor card and are busy shaping your own destiny." His eyes blurred again. "Though-" He warned the other. "The wheel knows possibilities, not outcomes. Sudden events happen to you, to which outcome.." He shook his head.

Then they flipped the last card. The future. The card was the Fool. Silva giggled gently. "The Fool. A personal favorite." He smiled at Isalah. "There is but one advice I can give you for the future: The fool is the search for adventure. Follow your feelings, your wits and above all, the mythical energies around you. The fool needs freedom. Binding him will bring forth madness." Perhaps not the cheeriest of divinations, but at least a fitting one.

OOC: Will do ^_^
