"Now look into my eyes." He leaned forward, staring at her intently.

She glanced at him, then away instinctively, then forced herself to look back, focusing all her attention on maintaining eye contact.

(Her neurodivergent ass could never lol)

(Hehehe)

He stared at her for a long time, murmuring to himself. Then his brow furrowed and he leaned back with a deep frown. "Well. Isn't that something."

“…What?” She’d been squirming with the effort of maintaining the eye contact.

"You've got...well, you've got some very big things coming up very soon," he replied. "The energy coming off you....someone else had the very same energy, just a couple days ago."

She forced herself to take a deep breath, pushing down the anxiety. “What does that mean?”

"Your guess is as good as mine. It's both catastrophe and triumph, whatever's going on...you're going to be given a gift in the next couple days that relates to this." He pursed his lips. "Goodness me. You poor thing."

She furrowed her brow at him, uneasy. “I don’t understand.”

"You should--if he's still here--there's a gentleman here who had a similar reading. Haven't seen him in a few days, but he might know what to do." He leaned forward. "Miss, you've got a very intense thing going on in your eyes and mind. Something's awoken, or something's changing--I can't tell which; you're very difficult to get a read on. Be careful."

She squirmed. This wasn’t fun anymore. “… that’s very vague…”

"I'm sorry I can't be of more help." He rose, looking nervous. "The man was staying at the Silk Filigree, I think. A Rhaebaki fellow, I think, dressed up real nice. He had money to spend and questions to ask."

"Long braided-back hair, earrings, beard...and he was wearing blue, I think, though people do change clothes. Very handsome, probably in his thirties."

"I don't ask the names of any of my clients," he said airily. "I saw him about two days ago, in the evening."
