[Molly doesn’t visibly react beyond just being fucking thrilled at this whole face journey Mineo is going on. Picking a snake card, huh?]
The Serpent? You do know the sayings about forked tongues, right?
[But, can’t take it back! The other two cards are instantly swept off the table in case he tries to change his mind. Making a humming noise while he thinks, like he’s trying to formulate something in his head. Then back to it.]
Alright. A story.
A few years ago, I woke up - head shaved, no tattoos, no memories - in an unmarked grave in the wilderness. Luckily I happened to wander into a traveling carnival troupe, who didn’t seem to mind their new friend could only say the word empty and was covered in markings of red eyes and scars. I wasn’t the strangest creature they’d come across along the road in all their travels. They gave me a name. They gave me a splendid coat. They taught me how to speak again, how to read the cards, how to ride into a town, set up the tent, rouse the crowd and drink for free and then leave before the glances turned to glares.
[and - honestly, mineo does look enthralled? he's just softly amazed, a little worried and awed. he instantly feels bonded to this traveling troupe that picked up molly, and just softly goes]
