Snippet #2010755

The reversed Six of Cups was a representation of being stuck in ones past, being plagued by bad memories that she could not let go. Joker didn't like to dwell on the past, he could not remember a life before being his master's disciple, and he felt no want of knowing it. Heeding her words he dropped it and continued, "The second assesses the present..." willing the second card to flip with another wave of his hand. The Lovers, upright.

Joker chuckled softly, while this card appropriately summarized their current position, it could easily be misunderstood. He looked up at her gently and said, "The Lovers can symbolize the formation of a union, to work through a moral or ethical dilemma, to make a connection." The more he spoke the meanings of the card, the more he seemed to feel embarassed, slowly reading into their interactions and connecting them with other meanings of the card: Opening up to another, to be tempted by feelings, to seek love. Joker gulped lightly and tried to focus on the third card.
