[The card flips. A woman in blue, sash around her waist and staff on her back, a man leaning in to whisper something to her. In turn, she whispers to another. The text facing Maya reads RUMOR.]
A bit of a complicated entanglement, yes? Speaking to all sorts of new people, trading information, learning what you can.
I think we all are a bit. Name of the game for now.
[And then he goes to the last one, flipping it. I swear to god I randomized this, so, it ain't me, it's the (fake) cards. It's a pair of scales, hanging from the head of an axe. While the words facing Molly seem to read JUSTICE, the one facing Maya reads THE AXE.]
Ah-- The Lawbearer. Something in your past, that you're waiting for resolution on? She can represent a lack of balance. Someone wronged you ... or maybe you wronged someone?
. . . Axe always sounds a bit scarier than it is. Erathis is a bit prone to melodrama.
[And then he winks at her. He looks down at the three cards in a row for a second, before sweeping them up to return to the deck. Shuffling them right back into the mix.]

Your past. Your present. Your future.
[And then he turns over the past card! An all-seeing eye in the body of a pyramid, resting in a pair of hands. The text facing her says THE EYE.]
Far-seeing sight. A woman of vision. Makes sense for a psychic like yourself.

Well, ya got me there!
[ though she's not that kind of psychic... it's close enough ]

[ she gets a funny look on her face at that last one, though. ]
Kiiiinda thought you were giving me the axe for a second there.
no subject
[He just smiles though, trying to ease the tension.]
Well, you picked the cards, if you'll remember.
no subject
That was really impressive, though! The first time I've ever seen a pro at work like this!
I just have one question..... [ a beat. ] have any good gossip?

Oh, sure, but that costs extra.
no subject
[ so it's fine (?) watching him shuffle with interest... ]
I'm willing to share my gossip... though I haven't heard that much yet.

[He loves gossip, but.]
