Tessa chuckled at the question and nodded her head in defeat. “ Yeah, I’m not. My friend forced me into doing this. Something about making sure I don’t limit myself to the sheer facts in life. ” The blonde let out a soft laugh as she remembered her friend practically dragging her over to the tent. “ Oh, please I love your judging, it makes me feel better about myself usually. ” The blonde chuckled. The woman was definitely good company, especially after a few wines. The way she’d go through every single person in the bar was amazing and incredibly entertaining. Especially when the night would drag on slowly. Tessa sat down at the other’s command and pressed her lips together as she thought about it. “ I’m completely blanking on questions, but you can give me a general reading… Why not the love department, right? It’s not like anything interesting is happening there right now. It can basically only get better, right? ” The blonde joked.
“Your friend has a point,” Virginia sing-songed. “Everyone has to bend a little in life, this is a good start,” she added with a wink. “Besides. I’m of the mind that there’s a little magic in everything. You’re just opening yourself up to a little more.”
The usual smirk Virginia had made it’s way back onto her face and, self satisfied, Virginia’s shoulders went back and her chest out, preening at the compliment. “I can’t help that the majority of the people that go to your brother’s bar are just a mess. Not including present company.”
Virginia rubbed her hands together and gave Tess an excited smile, waggling her eyebrows. “Let’s see what she says about love.” Quickly, Virginia went through the motions of shuffling her cards, taking a moment to stop and close her eyes afterwards. If she was a legitimate reader, this was when she’d be considering Tessa, her aura, her love life. Virginia was currently thinking about what she should make for dinner. She’d probably just end up picking up a hamburger from the festival grounds. Then she drew three cards.
Ten of Cups. Eight of Swords. Reversed Four of Pentacles.
“One from each suit, that’s interesting.” Virginia began, pushing forward the first card. A fond smile formed across her face. “This card usually has to do with family, rather than romantic love. You came from a loving home and it’s informed your ideas on romantic relationships. You’re looking for The One.”
The smile turned into a frown. “You’ve isolated yourself from romantic relationships.” Virginia gave Tess a sympathetic glance. “Did something happen here?” she pointed at the Ten of Cups, the display of a happy family under her finger. “You have a good relationship with your family, but something happened that made you want to isolate yourself.”
Virginia moved on, not yet pressing further. “This card is pushing that point further home. When I’m giving a relationship reading, this normally means that you’re spending more time on your career than relationships, but given the Eight of Swords, I think it’s telling you to spend less time in your head. It’s encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone, when it comes to love. Maybe there’s someone unexpected you’re starting to like? Or someone unexpected you will like.”
