[The camera is fixed on a table, upon which sits a neat stack of cards –– black with gold foil in the shape of a sun and moon bisecting each other. The user’s hands pass over the deck and spreads it wide into an arc. Her hands are tanned, with two rings on her ring finger and one on her index finger, and she has so many colourful braided bracelets that some wind around her palm.

Her voice is pleasant, playful, French, a little theatrical:]

Bonsoir, mes amies!

Tonight and tonight only, I will tell your fortune with a single card. Tell me your name, and if you would like to hear about love, money, health or the soul.

If it moves you, you must repay me with an amusing anecdote about yourself.

Ready to play?

[She reaches over to him, hand roving from shoulder blade and down his back, a little smile on her face. Sophie knew he would make no effort to make it so even if he did take it seriously, of course, but she did want him to be happy. If that meant being with someone else, so be it. She'd come to that conclusion years earlier. Why not make her blessing clear?]

Mm, yes. It'll be a challenge to top this one, but they can't all be the best.

[Back to the menu she goes!]

[ The touch is nice, grounding, and he leans back against it with a smile before leaning over to the side, peering obnoxiously over her shoulder at the menu as if he might be able to try and discern what she'll pick next. ]

What's "tequila," do you think?

[cache_coeur]

[She chuckles, taking the opportunity to learn the side of her head against his temple.]

I’ve tried tequila, actually, and I want to see what you think of it! So let’s do that one.

for a wrap!

[ He lifts his current drink and nods in agreement, enjoying the pleasant warmth already seeping through his limbs. ]

Tequila it is.

[ What could go wrong? Even if they wind up messily drunk and stumbling back home, barely holding each other up, it'll be worth it. He's almost forgotten that tarot card existed at all. ]
