Cosine smiled at Caelia's words trust her daughter to be able to explain things better than she could.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Feel things, that's how numbers are for me." She took her cards out of her bag and spread them on the floor. "All of these have different meanings, some have good feeling, some have bad feeling. I can use them to tell people things about themselves. Cards aren't the only way for me though, anything involving numbers."

Oh, so she was like her mom, they just used different things to have the same kind of feelings ? That was... interesting, very interesting ! "How does these work ?" She gestured toward the cards. She had seen them before, but never really knew what her mom used them for. And now she was quite interested !
Cosine now had something that was rather hard to come by - her daughter's full attention.

Cosine smiled and looked down at the cards.
"Mortals use them to tell the future. Or what they think is the future." Cosine spread them out so Caelia could see all the different pictures. "We are not fate so I don't think it can be the true future, more ... possibilities. Like, a good feeling or a bad feeling about something. A suggestion." She picked up one of the cards, number 13. "This one is death, many mortals think it is a bad card, a bad number, others consider it a good number, special and lucky. in the realm of divination everything is open to interpretation."
((>> hope that makes some sense))

Oh, the pictures were so pretty ! Caelia leaned over to look at them all a little more closely. She liked them all, honestly, though when her mother directed her attention to the Death card, she was a little puzzled. Death could be a good thing ? Oh, wait ! "Like daddy says life and death are a circle ?" There weren't too many things that were truly lost, they just became other things and other people. At least that was what she understood of it.
"So it's more like..." She pondered. "Like crows. I've seen some people get scared when they see crows. But they're not really a bad sign. It can be, if the change is a bad change, but they don't have to be. It can be a good change too." Which she didn't quite understand. To her they meant change of a sort, but there was a much more personal meaning attached to the black birds. To her, they meant that the most precious thing - her family - was probably near.
"What make mortals think the number 13 is bad, mama ?" She was curious.

Cosine nodded eagerly.
"Exactly Cae. It's all in perception. Some changes might be bad, or sometimes you might interpret things negatively but it's up to you or the person you are divining for to use that knowledge and do something about it. In truth I don't know why they decide certain numbers are unlucky. There might have been an incident on the 13th day or 13 related to something bad in that culture." She shrugged.

"That's kinda weird." Honestly, to her it was ! Just because something bad happened on a certain day didn't mean something bad would happen on all those days, right ?
How strange, the young goddess couldn't help but think. Very, very strange indeed. She looked at the other cards, curious. "What does this one mean, mama ?" She pointed at the fool. He looked funny !

Cosine looked down at the card and picked it up, she handed it to Caelia and smiled.
"Zero, nothing. It gets paired with the figure of the fool because he is naive, so really it means he has everything to learn. Like a child, your mind is a blank page, the fool can mean a blank page."

Caelia pouted. She certainly wasn't naive, no ! "Kios says learning things is a good thing. And even grown ups still learn new things every day. They just don't notice it sometimes."
Which she figured made sense. Sometimes her cousin had good points.
"What's this one then ?" She pointed at the magician.

Cosine smirked at her daughter's pout.
"Of course, and that is what makes the card a good one, if you thirst for knowledge then the world is your oyster. And this is what makes children so wonderful. You are like sponges, you and your siblings, always questioning and always wanting to know. I hope you never lose that desire." She glanced down to the Magician card and its number.
"This shows how interpretations of number can differ. One can be a difficult number. If I envoke one as a power it is sorrow. But in Tarrot it's more positive, it's the start, enlightenment, the beginning. The magician suggests a new adventure."

Well, it seemed like Cosine would get her wish, at least for the time being. Caelia's eyes were wide and she was, indeed, absorbing that information like a sponge, grasping at everything she could grasp.
"Sorrow... Like Kios ?" She asked, curious. "I like adventures ! I wish we had more of them." Daddy hadn't taken her for one in quite awhile, but he had explained her that he had been very busy in very dangerous places, and she figured she could accept that explanation.

Cosine nodded.
"Yes, I suppose, like Kios, Lament is an expression of sorrow. I can also bring joy in the power of Two, equally as powerful. There is a rhyme about it, One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, three for a wedding and four for death." She raised an eyebrow at that, yes there was power in number. She smiled at her daughter's desire for adventures. "You will have a great many adventures my love. You are bold and brave and immortal, I imagine you will travel as far and wide as your father. We have cursed the three of you with an unending curiosity."

"Oh, oh, I know this one !" Caelia beamed. "One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a wedding, Four for death, Five for silver, Six for gold... Hn..." Augury hesitated a bit, then seemed to remember. "Seven for a secret, not to be told !"
Yup, totally had it. Her head tilted to the side at her mother's comment. "I hope so. I want to see everything."

"Yes!" Cosine laughed as her daughter finished the rhyme. So they did remember all the songs she sang to them when they were younger. She had no doubt any of her children would go far, she just hoped that they would make good choices, she hoped that she and Ankou had taught them that much." The goddess glanced towards the sea. "Shall we swim?" She asked, eyeing the waves as they crashed against the shore.

And now that certainly got Caelia's attention once more, not that it had wandered as much as it usually had.
"Yes ! Let's go swimming !" Augury didn't even wait - she took off like a little cannon ball toward the waves.
