*Tim is seated at his usual booth, perched on the edge of the chair. His arms are wrapped around a rather thick iron staff with a clawed end. It's new, but already he likes it, despite the weight. It adds just enough mysitcism to the three piece suit, blended nicely. For some reason, his cards are on the table. They just felt like coming out. So, if you want a reading, a flying lesson, or to just talk to Tim, feel free.*

Ace headtables, but not very hard. No need to make the headache worse.
"I think I missed something." She voice is muffled by the wood.

They speak, but only through thier meanings.

*He pets her hair.*

They can't actually talk, just display what they see of the future, through thier meanings.

She lifts her head to glare at the cards.
"They aren't being terribly clear." She grouses. She's none too fond of what the second-to-last card looks to be. As for the last... she can't for the life of her figure out what that's supposed to mean.

*Tim shrugs*

they never really are. Tarot cards are vague by nature. That way, they can pretty much attripute anything to themselves. Mine are actually clearer then normal ones.

"Huh." Personally, Ace thinks if they got any vauger, they'd be down to 'you might be alive tomorrow. But you might be dead.'

"So." Well, since it's on the table anyway (even in a literal sort of sense)...
"How do you feel about... that?" She waves a hand at the second to last card.

*Tim blinks at her, blinks at the card, then strokes his chin.*

Positively?

She gives him a Look that clearly conveys just how unhelpful she thinks he's being.
"Yeah? How?" She waves a hand, trying to somehow put in nebulous hand gestures the words she can't seem to find. "Do you want one now, or, perhaps, in ten years, or... what?"

Would one be safe here?

Would be be good parents?

What will you do when I prove to be as horrid a mum as my own?

She doesn't say those, however.

I want one....

*He takes her hands, gripping them warmly and looking her in the eyes.*

I want one whenever we're ready to have one.

"I..." She stops, considering her words. "I... don't think I'll be very good at it." History repeats itself. She's seen it happen.

I think that togeether, we'd be perfect at it.

*Still holding her hands.*

I've seen the love inside of you. I know our children will be something else entirely....

"I'm irrational. And haven't been altogether since... I dunno, ever, really. You've seen that. And what do you mean, children?" She's busy worrying about one. He's thinking in terms of plural?

Er....

*Tim considers this.*

We'll grow. Part of being alive is changing. And... well... er... as many as you like? One, two, none, it doesn't really matter, as long as both of us are happy?

"Would you be happy with none?" She asks, curious.

*He cocks his head, then nods.*

I will always be happy as you are happy.

Headtable. A little harder this time.

Sigh.

Yes, yes, I would be happy with none.

"Really?" She lifts her head again to look at him. From her expression, she isn't looking for reassurance. She's looking for honesty, no matter what that might mean.
"If given your preferance?"

I'd be as happy with three as I would be with none. Really.

"Oh."

She should be relieved. He has no burning desire to fill the bar with little Hunters. That's what she hoped for, right?

...

Yeah.

Right.

She studies the cards.

But I would like one, one day. When we're ready.

She looks up to give him a bit of a stare. What does he what, really? None, lots, one? Just an answer. She won't bite his head off.

...

Has she been coming across like that?

Bullocks.

Back to studying cards.

*No...but, well... he's a guy. And he really doesn't want to give the wrong answer.*

"So which one's the real answer?" She asks, tired of the cat and mouse. She just wants to know.

Both. I'll be happy, either way.

"Nevermind." Dejected. No answer is definitely the wrong answer here.
