"Yes, two readings, ten of currency. You catch on quick." There might've been a note of sarcasm in his tone, but he doesn't pause long enough to make it obvious, instead giving her a quick, intent look before picking the deck back up. "Then we start with first question. Watch the cards. Keep your question at front of your mind." Tolunai cut and shuffled the deck twice over before placing four cards on the table in front of her, face down, each at a diagonal to the next. Once finished, he set the rest of the deck aside and hovered a hand over the four chosen cards.
"To know how to answer question, we start by looking at family's mood and energy. It matters more than you think." He flipped over the card to reveal the Five of Cups, illustrated with an elven man looking down upon three overturned cups, the other two still standing. "This is not good sign. It is showing that they struggle to accept what is happening. They start to grieve, though she is not yet gone. Your family begins to lose hope."
"The second card shows what you need to know at this moment." Tolunai flipped over the second card, which showed The Lovers - two goddesses in elaborate robes, facing each other with linked hands. "Eh. This is strange in reading for family, but the Lovers also show partnership. This partnership, it is important that you seek it out soon as possible. It is vital in some way to solving this problem."
"The next card shows what outside force is influencing problem." He flipped over the card to reveal to her the Wheel of Fortune, with strange winged creatures dancing around a wheel marked with symbols. "This card stands for cycles of inevitable change. This means more than a change in season - it is fate coming to call and it cannot be ignored."
"The final card is what you must not do, no matter what." Now Tolunai turns over The Hierophant. The image is of an aged elf with a long beard, sitting on a throne of cold stone. "Hmm. This is card for conforming to tradition or following rules. This reading says, don't do that. If there is way to save your sister, it won't be by ducking your head down and doing what others do."
Did that answer her question? Perhaps not, but Tolunai does add, "Seeing future in certain terms is difficult. These cards say, it is too early to know for sure when you can take these steps for better outcome."
