[video | locked] this is where I fly by the seat of my pants and admit I know nothing about Drift

[Luxord chuckles darkly]

Tied to another? Well then. We'll play a partner game, to find out how you two relate to each other, and then I'll try to answer your question.

[He lays three cards in two columns, facing the camera. He lays a final, seventh card between the two.]

The left column represents you, and the right is Wing. The center is the center of your relationship to each other, how you two relate, or the central problem in your relationship.

So, the central card: the Wheel of Fortune. This is a card of fate, destiny, and fortune... and also of the bigger picture. It's not such a good card to come up during a reading about personal relationships. It means that your relationship to Wing is problematic on some level, probably because you're too focused on immediacegy, on the little details. There's a lesson you need to learn before you can figure out what he needs... if he needs anything at all from you.

Now, the first set, the conscious level, what you two think of the situation, and of each other. On your side, we have the Knight of Coins. You've been quite stubborn about a particular point of view or belief you hold about Wing, yourself, and life in general. You need to take a step back and think about what's actually feasible and within your power to do, rather than clinging to your old perceptions and biases.

On Wing's end... the Fool. Either he's been thinking of this as an adventure, or, more likely, he's ignorant of the true depth of what you want from him, and of your feelings as a whole. He takes the whole thing very lightly and with berevity, though equally without prejudice. He may be completely unaware of what you want... or he may not even care.

Righto. Onto your emotions and subconscious feelings for each other... On your end, the Seven of Swords.

[He frowns a bit. Swords are almost never good when it comes to a reading about emotions. They're the symbols of logic, reason, warfare, and revenge.]

Up till now, you've been quite disingenuous with Wing. You've been faking your true feelings, making up lies to try to get the reaction you desire from him, and it's been failing. You've also been decieving yourself about what you really want. If you really want to "be what he needs", you need to be more honest and truthful about how you feel.

As for Wing... the Nine of Swords. He's tormented by his past and his possible future, weighted down by worries and pain. He's been trying to surpress them, and has no desire to speak of them, but that silence is going to kill him slowly. He needs to open up about what's hurting him, and open up to others... and unfortunately for you, that's going to be something he needs to do on his own terms. No one outside is going to be able to help him come to that place, it is something he must realize for himself.

Finally, the last two cards represent how you two have been behaving outwardly towards each other, the facade you both put on. For you, the Five of Coins. You've been seeking the sympathy of others all around you; you say you've a great destiny which is a terrible burden for you, and you like to tell everyone around you so, hoping to garner their sympathy, or at least their loyalty. You've been trying to garner Wing's attention with this act. Are you truly so unhappy, or is this just an act you put on to ensnare him? Given how caught up he must be in his own pain, not to mention how you're barely on his radar, such an act is bound to fail.

And for Wing, the Page of Coins... Despite the anxiety he feels, Wing exudes confidance and resolve. He pushes down his doubts and fears and appears to be completely in control of all situations. I imagine this is one of the things you find compelling about him...

[Luxord looks at the whole spread, pondering. He then deftly gathers up the cards and cuts them back into the deck.]

My advice would be to stop trying at all. If you're meant to be of aid to him, then you will be, but throwing yourself in his direction will do you absolutely no good at all. His mind is elsewhere.

[Also, boy, if any of this is true? Drift you got issues.]
