A friend of yours is here as well? I know a few people here know someone. It's strange how that happens. Is he looking for the same thing as you?
[Molly turns, looking very invested in this answer, actually. And his expression turns into a little bit of a frown at the "a lot of people will die" thing.]
[Oh-- He turns back to look at the ceiling again, then reaches up, pointing out a set of stars in turn.]
The Spider Queen's web. [A spattering, close together] A complicated problem. You'll not have an easy time of it. There's pitfalls - schemes you haven't seen yet, those who move in the shadows, forces already in motion.
But the Arrow - [Another constellation, a line of stars stretching in a row] shot true, can fly through the most difficult of sticky paths.
So I think the answer to your question is . . . yes. You can succeed. Not without challenges. There's still chances to fail, of course. The stars are nothing if not fickle. But I think your shot is true.
Depends on the day! Sometimes self-clarity can be so hard to achieve. And it's easier to bend a reading for yourself than it is to others, you know. For example, you can tell someone else their lover may be unfaithful, but what if I don't want to believe my darling is dallying about with someone else?

Something to look forward to, then.

Is that your reason for coming here? That job? I suppose I shouldn't pry. I promise it isn't actually my business, so you don't have to answer.

[ or that it'll come out eventually if he hasn't yet. ]
It is. A lot of people will die if we don't succeed.
