[ The man is a little cheeky, and that makes this a bit difficult to read. Is it just from not believing in any of this, or did he have an agenda? People here were very different from home, so Molly had to do a lot more generic things than in-depth until he was more settled in with all these different worlds. (If ever.) ]

I am simply a vessel and interpreter for the cards. The future is written in them, with each card carrying a different meaning. Open up your mind, and let me show you.

[ He's still working his scary-mystical act, the tip of his tail flicking a little bit back and forth. It's a good distraction as the rest of his cards 'disappear'. ]

Five cards. Five questions.

[ The answer is, of course, a complete non-answer, but it's not impossible. It could be magic. It could be merely that this guy isn't into explaining his processes to every interested customer who comes by. Maybe he's afraid of people ripping off his techniques, maybe he just wants to keep things seeming as awe-inspiringly vague as possible. Cisco had not really been expecting a good answer, so he doesn't mind not getting one. He just gives a little shrug, smiling and saying, with a tiny scratch of skepticism and amusement: ]

Yeah, okay.

[ But he is willing to believe there will be some truth to it. So he settles in, pushing his hair back and thinking about what questions he has. What might he ask that would be interesting, but (if Molly really does have powers) not give away anything he doesn't want known. In the end, he errs on the side of curiosity, rather than caution. ]

So, I tell you the questions, right? Question one: how's my love life look a year from now? Question two: should I keep going on the path I've been going on, with my- [ He hesitates, wanting to say powers but redirecting, in a clear euphemism: ] -with my personal development? Question three: does the cat prefer me or my boyfriend? Question four, um, let's see... which direction should I go scavenging in next time. And, uh, question five: is there anybody in my life now that I shouldn't trust?

[ He couldn't resist that last one, though he knows it probably reveals a bit more about him than he necessarily wants to this random stranger. ]
