Good evening.

( She bows her head in greeting and smiles shyly, trying to not look too nervous. You would think she'd be used to this sort of thing by now but she isn't. )

Sorry to ask such a strange question b-but uhm... is anyone interested in fortune telling? My temple has a large assortment of celestial charts and divining cards and... well, I've been wanting to practice. Hehe...

B-but it might be a little difficult to use those here so...! ( She looks down at her hands, ) I was thinking we could try something a little easier?

( And she holds up a paper fortune teller. The top folds have four pictures on them: A tiger, a tortoise, a bird, and a dragon. )

Please, pick one.


( ooc: It's implied that Sakura has some premonition skills because she's a priestess but she herself isn't aware of it and isn't able to tap into it actively! Sakura's paper fortune teller will be asking about some popular/general areas. You'll be prompted in a tag depending on what your character chooses and you can tell me if you they'll have good or bad luck in the future. It's a paper fortune teller! It's going to be general and vague so what are you really expecting??? You can also prompt Sakura to try using her charts/cards for something a little more in depth and we can work that out on plurk at eski or PM! Otherwise, she can totally just get things wrong... she's a teenaged girl having fun with horoscopes and fortune tellers.)

( Her shoulders drop and she looks down at her hands. Leo can't see from the camera angle but theyre' folded anxiously in front of her and she turns her thumbs nervously, )

Inspiring, ambitious... decisive. ( They're off to a great start already. ) Wild, short-tempered, and rude.

At their best, they're powerful leaders and at worst... they're cruel tyrants. But a good dragon.... e-even with all of his power, he's merciful and benevolent, sensitive to those on earth, even if he himself is a heavenly creature. There's an old story about the ten gods in Hoshido to explain their order...

A long time ago, the King invited the ten gods to a great banquet. Though the Dragon could fly swiftly through the sky, he arrived fifth. The king asked him why he arrived so late despite his advantage... and the Dragon explained on his way to the capital, he'd found the Rabbit floating in the river on a log. Because the Dragon was kind, he used his breath to blow the Rabbit to shore, letting him win fourth place instead when he could have left the Rabbit on his own.

( Quietly, )

It's an auspicious sign... the one said to be best for kings.

( Like Ryoma. )

Well, hopefully that means good things for you in the future, Lady Sakura.
