[She offers him her best attempt at a reassuring smile.]

It seems we're doing all right so far, then. I'll do the next two at once; one will see if we can't pin down the roots of what might've led to the problem, and the other will suggest what might be the next step on the path you're traveling right now. Perhaps not a solution outright, but...what to expect, at least.

[She turns over the card to the left.]

I'm sure this one is merely something you already know, but...mm, with the Queen of Swords in this position — that's a card of objectivity and thought. That is, it wasn't hasty decisions that led you up to this point; rather, you've always had a firm and reasoned perspective on things. I think that's reassuring, really. You've done the best you can, and acted within your beliefs; perhaps it may not seem that way, given the difficulties of the problem, but you've been...consistent and reasoned, in your way. Perhaps this one is intended to shed more light on the next?

[And, mulling on that, she turns the fourth card over.]

...Oh, it's the Fool.

I wonder. You had him in your reading before, as well, didn't you?
