With the cards fanned out the way they were, it was muscle memory to pick more cards out to join the Fool – Strength, Hermit, Temperance, Moon, Four of Swords, Queen of Cups, Seven and Knight of Wands, and the not Happy Squirrel extra, in this deck called Anant – a flick of a finger sliding each out of the fan into a row above, and then scooping the remaining cards back into a neat stack so she could focus on these few first.
Almost without noticing, Emma rubbed the back of a finger over Anant. She'd known decks that had grown soft with age and use. Mémé's cards had felt almost like cloth after a lifetime of readings, but this wasn't that, and yet the cards were so so soft. "Feathers and fire," she said softly, picking up the Knight of Wands and showing it to Jag. "That's going to be interesting to figure out." She'd noticed the overlap with the aces too, flame-wreathed sword and the wand a feather quill, but overall the deck didn't feel like one that associated swords with fire and wands with air the way some did.
