#patron.

- sloan doesn’t really go by her last name, because it feels too much her father’s – it is his identifier in her eyes. it was what her mother and aunt called him, almost exclusively. in school, when inevitably called by the name, she tended to not even recognise herself as the object of the conversation and that has gotten her in trouble more than once, with the assumption that sloan was deliberately ignoring her superiors or peers.

instead, it is her middle name that she used, though not as often anymore – only ever interacting with patrons that that are so taken by the products of her gift that they either brush her aside or run in terror, sloan is not really asked what she’s called. if she were, her name would be sloan evangeline. and even that name was given by her father, in lieu of being blocked from a first name by his own mother.

- sloan thinks she’d like living in the city, in one of those old buildings with the fire scape ladders. she thinks she’d like the noise of a city bustling at all hours of the day and neighbours living through too thin walls. running a bookshop where people regularly just drop down and read, as if it is a proper library, means she basks in the white noise all day and going home to no one will make the quiet old very fast. it’s one of the few fantasies she allows herself, but she won’t ever go through with it, too attached to the place she grew up in.

- sloan is very used to being alone, but not so much to the quiet that comes with it. even when her entire family was alive and living together, she’d find a place or two to hide and be on her own, but it was always impossible to mute the laughter and loud conversations altogether. these days, she sometimes craves it, and on particularly bad days, she’ll close the shop late and take the long way home, just to walk by the busy streets.

sloan doesn’t mean to smile at his statement, but she's glad that her back is turned to him as it happens anyway. in those rare occasions in which his travels find something that defies his carefully crafted view of the world, she really does relish their friendship – and she has more or less come to admit to herself that it is one by now.

what do the cards have to offer? — accepting!

the chariot: how much does your muse care about winning? are they a sore loser?

sloan is the sort of person who never really won in her life; not because she's bad at things, but simply because she doesn't try. 

not having any siblings means she never learned to be naturally competitive, the way some people can be. her stint in high school served to learn that people can be incredibly quick to associate worth to winning, and go to excruciating pains to achieve it. 

it's not for her.

she always took it more as an opportunity for learning and data collection, not really bothered by the outcome.
