Well then... while you shuffle [She picks up the deck and starts doing just that.] you need to focus on what you want to know, who you're reading for, if there's something specific they want to know. Knowing when to stop is the hard part. It can't be random. You've just gotta feel it. Shuffling kinda feels like building a crescendo... and when you get to the top you just.... know.

And that's when you start the spread. [She goes quiet for a long moment, shuffling the cards and there's nothing visibly apparent about what she's doing. Maybe, with his abilities, he could feel an echo of what she's talking about but there's nothing to see. Until she shivers slightly as she jogs the deck and just nods to herself, pulling the top card and laying it down, face up.]

In any spread the first card is called the significator. It represents the person you're reading for. Who they are, what they're feeling, their current situation.

The Knave of Swords... mmm this part is hard to just explain. Some cards come with booklets and things like that, they explain what all the card meanings are. I had to memorize these for class back in fifth year. He means Inspiration. Fleeting ideas, capricious and mercurial. Intellectual but without grounding and an instability of purpose.
