[She watches, but loses interest with each card. Yes, this is exactly the sort of nonsense she expected. Vague generalities that anyone who has ever lived could identify with if they so wished. She likes to think she knows better.]
Right. So I've overcome obstacles, I have a mystery in my life, and the future looks like it brings challenges. Just like every other person.
[She gives a dry laugh and manages to hold herself back from throwing all of his cards into disarray the way she had done with Edgar. Prestidigitation is not the most subtle of spells when one is trying to pretend to play along.]
This is why I tend not to believe the superstitious nonsense my people tried to burden me with. But I suppose I knew that going into this, so I can't fault you. I hope you find someone more gullible to play your little game with. The cards are quite pretty though.
[She shrugs, gives a smile anyway. No hard feelings, right? Just a devil-horned boy trying to put the universe into some sort of order, as they tend to do. Disgusting creature.]
