Jenny was pretty happy when Sera said she would go first. She had been expected her to not want to go at all, possibly explain how tarot cards were not logical in the slightest, but she was actually pretty relaxed about it. Jenny couldn't help but be a little proud.

She watched Sera shuffle the deck, scooting up again a she set it down, waiting for the reading to begin. She was almost holding her breath.

Henri took the deck back and laid out the top three cards, in a series of taps and jabs to his sister he let her know it was quite the lay out. "The Death card," she said pointing to the first card. "Do not look so frightened," she said although her blind eyes could not see the girls. "It tells us that you are a facing a big change," she explained. "Perhaps several big changes," she said a bit vaguely.

"The Ace of Cups," Odille said with a smile. "There is a new love in your life, is there not young lady? A very exciting time indeed," she said kindly.

"And last but not least, the blind folded lady, Seven of Swords. You need to find a balance in your life. Do not focus too much on one thing or another. Make peace with all the new things in your life and you will find yourself able to cope with the changes coming your way."

"Any questions for Henri?"

Sera held back a smirk, the death card of course. Take this serious She grinned to herself. For Jenny. She glanced over and gave the blond a smile. Maybe it wasn't complete non-sense, she thought for a moment. She, they were facing a big change?

With the flip of each card, Sera didn't say anything she just tried to take it in. She couldn't help but smile at the second card? How did she know that? "Yeah I guess you could say that." Sera added sheepishly. She tried to look at Jenny without being too obvious but it was difficult. Her face lit up every time she looked towards the blond.

Sera sighed with the last card. Right again, she thought silently. Lucky guesses?, had to be. Those things could apply to just about anyone. couldn't they?

Sera thought for a moment, trying to think of what to say. "What kind of changes?" Sera asked finally, looking curiously at Henri and back to Odille. "Can you tell?"

Henri smiled briefly, curiosity was something he could appreciate in anyone. He flipped the top card of the deck over and placed it on top of the Death card. A few taps let Odille know what the card meant.

"The Moon," Odille said ominously. "This card tells us that the source of this change is a mystery to you now but it will be revealed in time through dreams, visions, illusions," she sat forward a little. "There is dark, primal magic at work," she said in a low voice. It is a dangerous time, inspiring madness in some and creativity in others. Again, remain vigilant when the the darkness comes."

Sera sat back a little in her chair. She wasn't sure what to think. She still didn't exactly buy it but she still couldn't stop the worried feeling that pasted over her. Her mind went immediately to school, a lot of strange things had been happening?, she thought, Could they be a result of the dark, primal magic she spoke of?.

She tried to take her eyes off the table and the cards. She couldn't, even knowing that Jenny had to be freaking out beside her, she really believed in this stuff. "What darkness? What's going to happen?" Sera blurted out, without thinking. It was hard to ignore, even if it was all just lucky guesses which Sera knew it had to be. What if it wasn't? If something worse was going to happen she had to know, had to be prepared.

"The cards are not telling us exactly," Odille said gently, trying to soothe the brunette girl. "Just be on the look out. You must watch out for the sneaks and the tricksters," she said with a final nod.

Jenny was definitely a little spooked. Some of the enthusiasm was gone from her face, and when words like dark and primal started flying around, she had almost had enough. She had reached out, grabbing Sera's knee, and just holding her hand there as she listened.

When Odille addressed Sera with finality, leaving them both wondering, Jenny quickly spoke up. "I'll go," she piped in, glancing at Sera. "While she chews that one over."

Odille nodded to Jenny as Henri shuffled the cards back. He placed them in front of Jenny. "Go ahead dear," Odille told the blonde. "Shuffle the deck."

Once they were shuffled Henri proceeded with the same layout he had used to Sera. His eyes went wide when he read the cards and he looked to his sister.

"Another interesting lay out," Odille said after Henri tapped on each card, giving his sister the wordless code they had devised years ago. "The Page of Swords," she said. "You have received a message as of late from an unknown source. You must be careful with this message and what you do with it dear. Rumors and falsehoods may be the result of a poorly handled message."

She moved on to the second card, Odille's voice dropped. "The Tower," she said darkly. "Henri thinks these readings are connected, he thinks that this is the darkness coming your way. It will shake your foundations to the core and when it is over there will only be the truth, fully exposed," she said ominously.

"The Eight of Wands," she said of the last card. "You must face this challenge without fear in your heart. You can see the in the picture on the card that the girl pushes all others out of the way and strides right up to the lion," she said describing the card she could not see. "Use this girl as your example. Face the beast with no fear," she said gently.
