Adrian is a student of the magical arts and is proud to say that he has in some aspects perfected said art. His master is the fortune teller Asra whose past is a mystery to him. As for the present however...

"Ill miss you" he says like every time before. Its the dead of a moonless night, the favorite time of criminals and the perfect time to partake in criminal activities. As well as this it is also coincidentally the "right time for begining a journey", well at least according to Asra.

Reaching into his shoulder bag Asra pulls out his deck of tarot cards and extends them to Adrian, "Here take this", he grins at Adrian's narrowed eyes, "Something for you to play around with while I'm gone" he says cheekily.

Adrian scoffs "You think i want your creepy deck?"

Asra chuckles causing Adrian to raise an eyebrow and cross his arms in irritation. Oh he can laugh at me all he wants, but those cards make my hair stand on end.

"Scared of them, still? You're really something" he says shaking his head fondly. Though taking in Adrians expression causes him to quickly changes his tune, "I'll hide the cards, if you wish" he says concern masking his features. However it is a mask that Adrian can see straight through as he recognises the glint in Asra's eyes.

In response Adrian simply rolls his eyes and lets his arms fall in exhausted frustration, this is a battle he has had many times before, "Don't be ridiculous, what is a fortune teller without their deck of cards" he says with a forced smile, one that Asra takes as an ok to do a card reading much to Adrians dismay.

"Ok then, if you're okay with it then read my fortune, just for fun", cheeky git Adrian thinks, "Fine" he says heading towards the back room and pulling back the curtain, "After you" Adrian says sweetly gesturing inside.

"It's been a while since we've practiced"

"Because I've already perfected it?" He says confidently, this causes Asra to huff, "Have you now?", "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, you really are gifted Adrian" he says with a fond smile.

Adrian raises an eyebrow, "Shall I begin?"

Asra look down expression now changing to something Adrian can't make out, "Yes, let's not wait any longer".

Just as Adrian picks up the deck a familiar slithery friend brushes against his ankles, "We're not alone" Asra says accepting the embrace by Faust his familiar. She looks pleased to see me, I think, it's always hard to tell with her, just like Asra.

"If we're all here... let's begin" Asra says in excitement. Adrian shuffles the deck with Asra's eyes watching every movement of his fingers as they slip through the cards.

"...The High Priestess", Asra tilts his head to the side, "And what is she telling you?" He says making eye contact with Adrian, "Is she speaking to you now?". Adrian closes his eyes and lets the cards speak to him. When the cards speak to him is is not in a human tongue, or at least not in a tongue that Adrian can recognise. Nonetheless, when Adrian focuses his mind the voice speaks as clear as day to him, and the answer comes to him.

"You've forsaken her" He says almost breathlessly,
"I have?",
"Yes, you've pushed her away. You've buried her voice. She calls out to you, but you won't listen" Adrian pauses eyes crinkling, "Master if you don't listen to her..." Adrian's eyes fly open startled by the sharp knocking at the front door. Who could that be at this hour?

Asra turns to Adrian, "Did you forget to put the lantern out again?" he says in amusement, with a sigh Asra rises from his seat, "just as well. I can't stay any longer I'm afraid".

They walk to the back entrance, "Well then... take care of yourself" he says hand braced on the door frame ready to leave but at the last moment he turns back, "Oh! I almost forgot" he starts to grin, oh no, "You wanted me to hide the cards, didn't you" his expression now of complete mischief. Grabbing the deck he attempts to "hide" the cards in Adrian's trouser pocket, he brushes against Adrian's side causing Adrian to take in his scent of belladonna that makes him smell so like spring. Adrian lets his eyes close for a moment, but only for a moment as, although their relationship does tend to lead to a casual amount of intimacy, it has not been furthered by either of them, which is a true shame, for both of them.

"Good luck finding them" Asra says with a wink. He put on his rather late hat with an equally large feather that contained all the colours of the rainbow. Stepping outside he crinkles his nose at the cold, Adrian roll his eyes as he grabs his red patterned scaf shoving it at Asra who raises and eyebrow. Once on he turns to Adrian, it's evident that he still has something to say but he won't say it. Instead he simply says "Until, we meet again" with a sad smile, and just like that he's gone.
