Why is it that almost every reading I give, someone asks that? I get that I'm extremely fascinating, but surely you can't all be that invested in my little fortunes?
[Teasing, teasing,]
Not nearly anything as interesting as yours, I'm certain.
Never said boring! Quite the opposite! Quite exciting for me, not a single dull day. But simple enough in the grand scheme. Travel, friends, fighting, the occasional revelry. I’m only saying compared to someone like yourself, who’s seen a share of history, might find it a bit underwhelming.
[ That second bit makes him laugh though, putting his hands on his chin, tail swishing a bit. ]
Believe me, I'm simpler than you think I am. At least, the way I am now.
[And a sidelong glance at Mollymauk, pursing their lips, and...]
You are someone who buries their feelings deep, deep inside, don't you? The pain...the despair...you have gone through much, but you put on a face, and want others to see that and nothing more. Is it the fear of being vulnerable? Or something else? I can't say, but...hm. Well, I understand.

[But their eyes flick to the cards on Molly's side, all before they are put away.]
Mm, yes. But...did you do a reading for yourself, too?

I know who I am, so the fortune comes as little surprise. You, on the other hand...

Ah, I’m fairly simple. Not much depth, you see. No past, bloody present, uncertain future. Like most folks you meet along the way.

[A light grin.]
You don't want to be perceived for who you are, do you, Mollymauk?

And how do you perceive me, fortune teller?
