For free? Fennec was tempted at first to tell her to shove it. She had a reputation to build and giving out charity readings wasn't going to do it. She didn't like the idea of anyone with a rough break trying to take advantage of some 'better nature' they thought she might have. (Even if she did, the Witch absolutely did not.)

She couldn't do it, though. If she had lost Killdeer she'd have been desperate for any sign, any help, and Fennec could at least try to give this woman some kind of lead. Even if it turned out to be bullshit.

For the first time ever, Fennec actually tried to do a read based on nothing she interpreted. She wanted to see what was coming, not what the woman had done. Just give me something. One real thing.

She stood there silently for a while, trying to read just about anything she could in the wind or the sounds that surrounded them. But there wasn't anything. Nothing good.... nothing bad.

It seems like your way forward is to wait. It doesn't seem like the outcome will be a bad one. You might not think you've been a good mother, but you have. And your children know that.

Then a shiver went down her spine and she knew, without a doubt, that her first statement had been wrong. Maybe in the scheme of things, waiting was the best option, but she got the sense that it meant accepting the outcome as it was. That if she wanted a future, she'd need to move on and leave at least some part of her children behind.

But that isn't what I would do. And I don't think that's what you should do either. It's just what I read.

Fennec couldn't leave it with that. It wasn't what she would have wanted to hear and it isn't something she'd have accepted. She could tell, from the woman's tone, that they were similar in this. I'll bring it tomorrow.

She'd provide her the poison she wanted, but the rest she'd have to find for herself.

did a clarity spread.
Overall situation - 9 of cups
Contrib factors - 9 of pentacles, 7 of pentacles, 8 of cups
Fenn is blind, and as she's older, will take all of her character insight from tone.  If you are ever uncomfortable with an assumption she makes, please let me know!
