...she sits alone at her table, shuffling her tarot deck compulsively.

Erin Morgenstern, from 'The Night Circus'

[ annoyed Kami ] " you're getting blood on the my carpet. "

❝  I  thought  a  little  red  might  add  to  the  …  charm.  ❞  her  voice  was  smooth  ᵘⁿᵗᵒᵘᶜʰᵉᵈ  ᵇʸ  ʳᵉᵐᵒʳˢᵉ  but  amusement  flickered  in  her  eyes  as  they  finally  met  Kami’s.

❝  but  if  it  bothers  you  that  much  …  ❞  emilia  tilted  her  head,  studying  kami.  there  was  something  about  her  —  something  in  the  way  she  stood,  unimpressed  and  unshaken,  that  made  the  witch  want  to  push  just  a  little  further.  ❝  I  suppose  I  could  make  it  up  to  you.  any  preference?  wine?  a  séance?  a  less  ...  dramatic  entrance  next  time?  ❞  a  smirk  ghosted  across  her  lips,  equal  parts  amusement  and  challenge.

❝  or  ...  ❞  her  voice  dipped  lower,  softer,  like  the  start  of  a  secret.  ❝  you  could  just  tell  me  what  the  spirits  are  saying  about  me.  I'm  sure  they're  pʎᴉuƃ  to  weigh  in.  ❞

“I was born of song and story, of spell or speech with power of oracle.”
