Knight of Cups and Two of Cups

The offer and the acceptance. The Knight of Cups arrives carrying something; the Two is the moment it is met. The tradition reads the pair as a proposal in the broad sense, and notes that the Knight is the deck's most romantic figure and its least consistent.

An approach that is genuine and may not be durable. Both things are traditionally held at once.

An invitation or approach worth taking seriously, with the follow-through unproven.

Knights are in motion by definition. The pairing describes the offer well and says nothing about what happens after it is accepted.
