Alys
The seer continued to shuffle, nodding regally in response to Deimos's selection. At this moment, it didn't matter if he believed in the cards or not - the tarot would reveal what it would, and no amount of belief or lack thereof would change that. So it was that Alys completed her shuffling, cut the deck, and drew out three cards, one after the other, laying them face down on the table. "This is a basic past-present-future spread," said the young woman, pointing to each position in turn. "It's good for general readings, but we can always expand on it if we need to."
With that, she flipped the first card. "The Hanged Man," she said, regarding the card for a moment before continuing. "A card of new perspectives and shifting reality. You've experienced many things in your past, some of which forced you to look at the world in a new and unexpected way." Well, if that wasn't the perfect card for Deimos's past, she wasn't sure what was. Still, she knew that that alone was unlikely to sway her friend on the cards' magic. After all, there were plenty of stories surrounding the Sword.
So she moved on to the next card, flipping it face up. "The Three of Pentacles." That was an interesting card to pull for the present, and Alys continued on in her explanation. "Teamwork and collaboration. Learning together to become something greater." This, too, made sense: Deimos was a Warden, one half of a whole, and it was only through working with his partner that he had come to this place in life. "Bringing different ideas together to implement plans. Meeting goals."
Onward, then, to the future card. "The Six of Wands. Success and victory. Celebration with those who care for you." She tilted her head. "But not the end of a journey; this speaks of a momentary pause to celebrate one's achievements before carrying on to the next challenge. Avoiding complacency." She peered over at her friend to gauge his reaction. As readings went, his had been fairly straightforward; no great menace jumped out from the shadows, threatening all he held dear. No, this was a reading that suggested that he was in a good place in life, and she really couldn't wish him any better than that.
