From the Fey Tarot, the Six of Wands; from the I Misteri Sibilla, Thief (10 of Diamonds):
Rather than riding on a richly draped steed with much fanfare, this fey makes his way on a tortoise holding a potted plant. His humble entry back to his city gets a quieter reception that he seems comfortable with. Ladro shows a thief picking another man's pocket. What is stolen may be more than coin, however. One of the Buddhist precepts reads, "I vow not to take what is not given, but to practice generosity." There will always be those who hijack conversations and crave attention, seeking a boost to their egos. What they don't realize is that attention will soon fizzle out, but respect is much longer lasting.
I find something fascinating about the quiet man in the background who has no desire to be the center of attention. ~Christian Bale
Patience. Those that hijack the conversations seek attention because of low self-esteem. We don't need to listen but we do need to wish them well.

Deletethe man in blue seems to be having a jolly time. I wonder if he set the other figure up to take something that he wouldn't freely accept.
