[ ...Mm. She studies them for a bit, frowning slightly. It's a bit of a confusing spread at first glance, if she's honest... but she doesn't know his question; maybe it suits what he's looking for. After a moment, she starts up, fingers gently laying on each card as she talks about them. ]
To begin... Spreads with more black suits than red tend to be negatively-inclined, though the final card of any draw is always the strongest influence on how one should read them. It's quite fortunate that your last card was a red suit then, wasn't it? [ haa, though... ] Even if it was the Six of Diamonds.
[ If it's any consolation: this is not the worst final card she's seen. Then again, it's hard to beat the Ten of Spades. ]
We'll begin there, as it colors the rest of them... It represents a lack of communication and nervous energy—it's a contributor to how restless and high-strung diamonds can be. The Two of Clubs and Three of Clubs both ordinarily symbolize quite wonderful things—benevolent correspondence, gifts of both the material and immaterial variety, such as time, effort, and advice for the former, and for the latter: an increased understanding, and good fortune in all ventures. Particularly for business and social matters. Yet, in a trio with this one...
[ ...she drums her fingers back on the six of diamonds. ]
I suppose I'd read it as such: that the first two cards are opportunities you have missed for some reason or another. [ She's not going to say it's because he doesn't talk, but... ] What opportunities these could be are endless—diamonds topping clubs implies your practical matters are in order, at the very least, so I'll wager it isn't business-related. If not that, then social... Time that could have been spent bettering relationships and learning from another, lost due to ignorance. I'm not unsympathetic, [ a briefly sad smile before it flits to neutral ] but it would seem you're being scolded.
[ A slight pause, before Elizabeth looks at him and rests her chin in the palm of her other hand, fingers curled against her cheek. ]
It's never too late to turn it around, though. If we go purely by suits: clubs beside clubs represents taking action, and clubs beside diamonds represents reward—it isn't a terrible spread to take advice from, on that end.
