“Don’t move.”

Cold and blunt, in retrospect, there were better ways of approaching the second sentinel, especially from behind. It certainly wasn’t her face he remembered from excursions to Gralice, cruel as it sounded. It was that hair, and those arms... he found himself staring at them for a moment more than could’ve been considered polite. Was is curiosity, or admiration for whoever crafted the limbs? Not even Selen was certain. Eventually though, he composed himself. 

“That sounded too intense, didn’t it--? Sorry about that. My point, though: you’re military, aren’t you? Gralice?”

How could he come across subtly after that? He couldn’t. Fiddling with his braided hair for a split second, he continued with his interrogation conversation.

“Well this is... certainly troubling.” The first card he drew was none other than the Tower. Many people were fearful when the Death card or even the Devil card and it was certainly understandable why. The concept of death and punishment for one’s sins pervaded deeply into human consciousness but when it came to tarot readings, Death was never as bad as it often seemed. In fact, it often seemed to represent moving onto a new stage of life and the like. Even the Devil seemed to represent more of a message that the querent was allowing addictions or vices to hold them back from living. But the Tower was something else entirely. Although it wasn’t a purely negative card either, it did represent a certain upheaval in one’s life that could shake them to their core. To have one’s foundations to be shaken or even destroyed could cause so many issues. He could only imagine what horrible things this card could be foretelling...

...Please do be careful, Quinn. You wouldn’t want to hurt yourself too badly, think of the tomatoes. 

Everyone please welcome the Second Sentinel of Gralice, Quinn!
