Oraskis' smile is a sympathetic one. He pulls his hands back to fold them on his lap and gives himself a moment to think of what to say next.
"Time is a strange thing. It isn't as simple as us mortals describe it, or as predictable as we'd like it to be," he tells her. "My visions of the future are not set in stone. They can change. Now, that's not often, but they can."
"It may sound ironic, coming from me, but if I've learned anything from this gift, I've learned that we should live in the present. We can always learn something new that changes how we see our past, and our future can change in the blink of an eye from what we expected. To live in either one is... maddening." He chuckles and leans in to add, "I should know!"
Lifting a hand, he pats his chest. "Listen to your heart, to what it says in this moment. It will guide you to happiness if you let it."
