Fate, or Something Like It
He kind of likes winding up the goth chick from Xavier's. He likes her attitude, her carefully-constructed shell of antagonism keeping everyone at arm's length. And he really likes getting under her pale skin and seeing her truly flustered. He likes knowing that he's gotten a genuine reaction out of her.
He's a great believer in luck, the roll of the dice, the cut of the cards. But he also believes in predestination, fate if you like. If you're meant to draw the ace of spades, you'll draw the ace of spades. Coincidence, too; if it's spooky it's probably right.
His cards are to him what dice are to some, talisman, fortune teller, guide and omen all in one. Every shuffle, every cut, they all have their place and significance.
He keeps coming up with the Queen of Hearts when he cuts his cards. That's got to mean something.
