"Apparently the cards feel it's not the defining element of your life," Jason responded with the hint of a smile.
He turned over the eight of wands, and snorted softly to himself. 'The cards' seemed to be settling into something of a pattern to him-- strong cards for past and present, then cards from the high, but not royal, ends of the suits to sum up the future.
Jason straightened the cards then laced his fingers together before his face, rested his chin on them.
"Well." Lupin was familiar with the cards; he did not have to explain the concept of each as he had with the others. Merely focus on the reading itself.
"Your life has been a balancing act. A struggle between the beast within, and the man you are." Nothing terribly profound there, of course, but Jason's eyes roamed the lines of the Strength card, maiden and lion, gentle hands and the girl's compassionate face.
"You have also struggled against others... you mentioned a war. I see that, but your desire has always been the path away from violence-- to disarm rather than wound, to protect rather than attack. You prefer wards to curses, and you prefer gentle words to either; always you have served as the voice of moderation, diplomacy, conciliation. As the maiden with the lion, so you with your colleagues and..." Jason narrowed his eyes slightly at the card, "...friends, I think. Yes. Putting yourself between... friends and another figure, someone I am not seeing altogether clearly."
