Peyton was lying on her back in the soft grass of the grounds, staring up into the sunny sky. She was picking out shapes in the clouds, a lonely past time that she usually did when she was bored out of her mind. After class she ran down to her dorm to change out of her robe and then it seemed that all her friends had disappeared. She gave up looking for them. She had too much pent-up energy to anything but lie down in the sun, letting it drain a little from her since she couldn't find anything better to do. It was just one of those lazy days that she wished wasn't. Why couldn't today be a day where everyone just wanted to run around and have fun?

She wondered where her brother was, and her sister. She wondered where all her friends were. Where was Jamison when she really needed a good game of football? She heard a group of younger kids playing and giggling off to her left so she turned her head to see. They were so small they had to be first years. They were chasing each other, weaving around trees and other players trying to stay away from a few in particular. A bunch of them were frozen in oddly wide-legged stances waiting for others to "unfreeze" them. Pip smiled. She remembered playing tag as a child. Sometimes she wished she could go back and be young again...free to play fun nonsense games with her friends.

Peyton's daydreams were interrupted by a figure obstructing the sun from reaching her. She turned squinting to see who it was which was easier said than done. Whomever it was was standing just barely in front of the sun so they stood mostly in silohuette. She waited for the figure to speak first, cause she really didn't feel like moving to see who it was.

The corners of her lips twitched up slightly as he used her nickname for the first time. She loved the unique little word and they way only a select few close friends used it freely. Hearing it from someone new was a bit more exciting than she had thought. With her eyes still closed and her face serene she whispered, "Ummm...four." Peyton waited patiently. She thought intently on the question but she was also making sure that she kept her power in check. She didn't want to startle Jasper, if she hadn't already. She was too afraid to open her eyes to find out, and she wasn't sure if that would break some sort of trance. She stayed tranquil and waited for the outcome....good or bad.

Jasper nodded, even though her eyes were closed. He took the cards and divided them into stacks of four, then shuffled them slowly back together into one stack. Taking the cards, he splayed them out in an arc on the ground and looked up at Peyton. "I need you to pick four." He said, though he could already feel energy coming from specific cards, but it wasn't his place to choose them. Peyton needed to.

Peyton leaned down to find the cards that drew her in. She hovered her hand back and forth over the displayed cards, her eyes closed but her face not so serene. Her brow was furrowed a bit as if she were thinking. She wasn't...she just wanted it to look that way. She took longer than she needed to and was careful not to touch all four cards in their exact centers, though she knew where they were. She had been concealing this gift for a long time, so she knew how to do subtle things that would make all the difference. She didn't speak, and she didn't open her eyes. She waited for the next bit of instructions...or the reveal...whichever came.

The moment Peyton's fingers touched a card his own hand shot out and grabbed it, pulling it toward him and flipping it over, end on end, until all four sat before him. Most of the reading was done on intuition, based on his connection to the cards, their energy and the person he was doing the reading for. In this case it was Peyton, and he had no idea what question she'd asked, unlike when he did readings for himself.

With a slight frown on his face from concentration, Jasper stared at the cards before him. First there was The Guardian at the Gate, then two reversed cards in the form of The Friends and A Collective of Pixies, followed finally by Unity. He deliberated for a moment, allowing the energy to tell him what each of the cards really meant for Peyton. It took him a while to find his voice.

"Well, it seems to me that the first card you chose, The Guardian at the Gate is trying to warn you that there are new opportunities arising, or that you've already come into contact with. It's inevitable that it will come, but you mustn't rush it. It's most likely a significant change in your life, maybe emotional, maybe physical, even spiritually." Jasper glanced up at Peyton, feeling slightly lightheaded from the reading. He'd only gotten to one card, and already his energy was being used faster than he'd ever experienced. Taking a deep breath he continued.

"Then we have The Friends in a position of an obstacle. They usually mean that you'll have aid or support in something that you do, but here they've been reversed showing there will be some form of misunderstanding, possibly a fight. Things will get tangled, but you shouldn't shut yourself off from those who care about you." Jasper stopped again, looking at the third card. It was one that had come up for him earlier that day, in the same reversed position.

"A Collective of Pixies usually means that we do what we must willingly, without objection. We're happy to do it, we show true virtue, but in the reverse, this seems to be a warning of either the present or of the future, that you or someone near you will not keep promises, or do jobs halfway which will effect you." He paused, again, and then added in a rush, "The cards aren't specifically saying it, but I think it means you're going to have to be a good example to someone else, someone who isn't sure about their way yet."

"Finally we have Unity," Jasper's voice got low when he talked about this card, "She is your spiritual home. She tells us that we must always remember who we are, and avoid inner conflict. You must be true to yourself, and not be ashamed of anything to the point you keep it hidden, or else you will not be able to be truly one with yourself, and Unity knows this." Jasper felt slightly awkward then. He got so passionate sometimes with his readings, and usually he was alone. But here he was with Peyton. He gave a small shrug, not looking at her.

"We've got to close down the reading now." He explained, carefully taking her four cards and setting them aside. "Just breathe deeply and disconnect from everything, and don't forget to thank them for helping you." Jasper closed his eyes for a moment, letting the feel of the energy of the cards wash over him, and then he opened them, his hands feeling for the cards so he could stack them together.

"Sometimes the responses are vague... I hope they were helpful to your specific question." He said, in an almost apologetic tone, as if he may have failed her.
