Eh, it's a matter of perspective when you're not the one doing the divination.

Really, the only person that you should be divining for are yourself and those closest to you (e.g.: spouse(s)/significant other(s) and immediate family). Doing it for other people tends to mix things up in unexpected ways - especially if you consider the fact that you may not be completely aware of the full details of the circumstances of the person you're divining for. (Whoof, that was a long-ass sentence, but precise wording was called for here.)

Thus, divination tends to be an extremely personal thing. The fact that Eila shares her divinations with the rest of the squadron is a statement: The 501st is her family, full stop.

Having trouble with that last word. Something about accepting wooden x-item? Wooden horses? Wooden coins? (Google Translate is not being terribly helpful.)
