⠀⠀⠀⠀"Your gifts would be wasted on me, fortune teller." He waves a hand dismissively, in spite of the assumption that this one will be far too insistent to be sent off so simply. "I'm well aware of my fate, both of the past and my future. Save your talent for those more lost in the dark. I'm sure they would pay quite the fee for any sense of clarity you could offer."

   ⠀❛ ⠀You're making a lot of assumptions, you know. I won't deny that money's a good reward— I had a store for this sort of thing back in the Ark... but it's also a hobby.⠀❜ ⠀As predicted, she doesn't seem particularly dissuaded— but if it's an attempt at a sale, setting the price to 'free' is... certainly a choice.    ❛ ⠀Hobbies are fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously. Tarot is the same way. I don't really see it as predicting something set in stone...

I can see you're...⠀❜ ⠀A more thorough glance is given to the mangled metal the woman carries— far too heavy for most humans that aren't a certain Commander back home.    ❛ ⠀… Busy,⠀❜  she tacks on, almost like a question. A heavy load, dressed for battle, each individual piece of gear looking way too heavy and expensive for the average human... It paints a certain image. So, by process of elimination...    ❛ ⠀I'll be quick, cross my heart. But I just wanted to know... you wouldn't happen to be a Nikke, would you ?⠀❜  

I'm gonna put out a starter call while I follow the masterlist and whatnot— so like for a starter, but also feel free to reply with any emoji of your choosing if you'd like Arcana to give your character a reading !
