[That's a loaded question, honestly. Or, well, less loaded, and hard to pin down specifics. Molly likes everything.]

It feels like a cheap answer to say "everything," doesn't it? But it's the truth. I'll try anything once, and there's dozens upon dozens of things I haven't tried. [He points around the room, randomly, not seeming to care where his finger lands.] And this place just added several things to the list, and I haven't even seen the other cities yet.

To hydrate all of these poor fools? Most definitely. [He twirls the contents of his glass.] Though I don't see that there's anything to be embarrassed about. Odds are no one in here is going to remember who you were, much less what you ordered or what you did after you ordered it. And if they do, they probably did things twice as humiliating.

I don't have to ask Bahamut that one. [Though when it came to himself, it was the Moonweaver he asked. He's never gonna get off this Platnium Dragon bullshit, though, even if he can openly worship whatever god he chooses now.] You just externalize so much positive bullshit that you forget there ever was anything negative.

Exactly. [He spreads his hands wide.] Sure, the circumstances could be better, but I never imagined anything like this could exist. It's spectacular.

[He leans over and retrieves his drink.] And it's not like we can make this go away.

[And then, as if remembering something, he shifts his feet off the table and pulls the cards a little closer.] That reminds me. One more round for the road?

Fair enough. [Molly grimaces just a bit, the one hitch in his otherwise bottomless pit of delight, but it's gone soon enough. The dragon is elsewhere and will probably be tended to by people stronger than he is.]

What about the locals? [He leans closer just a bit, not particularly caring about violation of personal space.] Not just here, but in all of the cities. Are they simple folk?

[As much as it sounds like an insult, it's... Not exactly. He sounds mostly endeared- some "simple folk" have wonder in their eyes and are eager for something neat. Others are... Well, they're dicks. And even jerks have their uses.]

Until they do hurt other people, but yeah. [Most of the time, they're harmless, but then you get the ones who aren't. Things could have gone very badly in Trostenwald all because the people in charge were looking to point fingers and cast blame. And Kylre probably would've gotten away and the only people who died were the innocent ones.

But he's not bitter. He has no reason to be bitter. It worked out.]

Mm. [He pulls his tankard away from his lips, as if remembering something, like, you know, the fact that not everyone has met a tiefling before.] I'm a tiefling. Or if you're a racist arsehole, a devil-blood.

[Molly's smirking a bit at the show, but his eyes do fall on the ring. The Changebringer. Not an approved deity in the Empire, but she was Gustav's deity and the deity that the Shusters had been arrested for worshiping. Instantly, he feels a tiny bit of kinship, both in the knowledge that if they were from the same place, they'd have mutually inappropriate deities, and that maybe, just maybe, they're having a bit of a crisis of faith about their goddesses not being able to reach them.

It's something to work with anyway.]

[He turns over the first card, placed directly over the King of Pentacles that represents Cam. This covers him. The World.] You've reached a point where you're at the end of one cycle and a new one is beginning. They say that this is the time when you're actually closest to the Divine.

[Card number two. This crosses him. The Page of Swords, Reversed.] Whatever forces that might come into contact with you as you come to terms with this new cycle may be dangerous. They're keeping a watchful eye on you and that might always be in your best interest. Whatever it is that cross you, expect it to cut right to the heart of the matter, and you might not be prepared for it.

Card number three. This Crowns Him The Three of Swords.] There's pain, which is inevitable in all things, but once you've gotten past the pain, then things will become clearer, and that's what you want- clarity through the pain and suffering that may be coming. There may still be challenges, but they're no longer these great bloody misfortunes that linger over your head, impeding your progress. You'll be able to get through it once you get there.

[Card number four. This is beneath him. The Five of Pentacles.] You've already experienced your, as they say, "dark night of the soul," so even if you're facing some kind of future pain, you've gotten through this once before, and you can do it again.

[Card number five. This is behind him. The Knight of Pentacles.] A strong influence has recently passed you- one that aims to encourage you to be hard-working and diligent towards your goals if you want to see everything achieved the way you hope it to be. It's an inspiration to stay persistent and it might have passed unnoticed. It's useful, and will help make you useful- don't ignore it.

Card number six. This is before him. King of Cups, Reversed.] In the future, there may be influences that aren't what they appear to be. That person or event could be deceitful or misguiding. Beware of the power that might hold over you, and stay cautious.

[and finally, he turns over each of the last four cards, one by one, starting with the Six of Wands.] What you're hoping for is a spiritual breakthrough or a reconciliation. Or both. [He inclines his head to the ring.

The Nine of Rods. ] All around you there is going to be difficulty- the same pain and hardship you'll have to overcome as before, but you're on the last hill, and everything around you is lending you the strength to endure until you find the answer you're seeking.

[Six of Pentacles.] It's interesting this comes after the Six in the same reading- they go together quite nicely. You quite possibly hope that once you come out of the darkness on the other side, you'll be able to help people, but on the converse, having people rely on you too much might be stressful or too much to deal with.

[And the final card. Death.] Never forget this one of the best cards you can get, my friend. Everything here is culminating into a change that you can't escape, but with it comes a spiritual transformation you should be welcoming.

[He leans back and spreads his hands as he finishes, and then picks up his drink and takes a long swig. That was a lot of work, man.]
