[ molly knows a belligerent non-customer when he sees one, and he's not the type to force it, better to cut his losses and move on to greener, more receptive pastures. with a hop the scimitar is airborne again and he catches it, slinging it back onto his hip, before he's folding up the cards again. ]
Right then. Well, should you change your mind, I'm easy to find.
[ since he's, you know, dressed exactly how you might expect. ]
[ Born with them? Now he definitely knows he isn't in Europe anymore. ]
So you just...came out with them. [ Yuri is familiar with growing horns..and wings...and claws...but he didn't come out at birth with them. ] Huh. You some kinda fortune teller all the time? All the ones I've known have been...
[Different but then like he's one to talk. So he'll just shake his head - it doesn't matter anyway. ]
Nothing. You just show up recently? Fall out into any bathrooms?
Just a guess. Glad I'm not the only one. [ He looks a little baffled regardless. Maybe everyone arrived like that and he will just make that an Assumption forever. This is now Bathroom Planet. ]
I'm new, too, that's why I'm light on cash. [ Granted he's usually pretty light anyway. The woes of not having a Real Job. ] The name's Yuri.
[ he says, with a flourishing bow. he's not about to give a reading for free when he's so broke and the night is calling, but.. he snaps a card from the top of his deck, the star, flips it deftly between his long fingers until suddenly - it's gone! and in his palm is instead a little golden star shaped bauble.
with one flick it's in the air, sailing toward yuri. catch!! ]
It's worthless, but maybe you can pawn it off to some rich merchant if you can come up with a good enough story.
Mol - [ He doesn't even finish saying the name, just mouthing it with an utterly baffled expression. That's a new name for him. Usually it's 'Roger' or 'Alice' or something along those lines. ] Okay. Do I have to call you the whole thing or -
[ And that's when the card is coming toward him and his reflexes kick in, hands going up to catch it with a slightly startled look. He looks down at it, studying it, with a frown. ]
Doesn't it have some kind of meaning? I got a friend who uses cards like this, she's always going on about Celtic crosses and whatever.

But now someone is just...listening to him? What is this weird feeling?? ]
Hey, hang on now. [ He's got that important question that wasn't answered, and that was: ] You didn't tell me. You part of a circus or something?
[ He's just gonna put his hands over his head, miming the horns. You don't see much of that in Europe or China.
Maybe Japan. ]no subject
Me? Oh, it's that obvious, is it?
[ molly barks a laugh, but it's warm and easy. ]
I was, some time ago, but that's in the past now. Still, a skill set is a skill set, right?
[ he can still make money doing tricks, even on his own!! molly cocks a brow though, his head canted to one side. ]
The horns, though, I was born with those, if that's what you're asking.

[ he 100% tumbled right out of a mirror and into someone's bathtub. it was great. he loved being stuck with his horns in someone's shower curtain. ]
But yes, I am, if you couldn't tell.
[ he's dressed like a circus act and flailing cards around, after all!! ]
It's a decent living!
